Hello All! I have an "old" PICSTART Plus programmer and I would like to use it as an ICP.. Could I get some help with a simple schematic on the interface to make this work? I would like to fit it to a hardware that uses the ICD2 Programmer interface. /best regards Michael |

PICSTART Plus - In Circuit?

I have
used the picstart plus by simply putting a header on my board that connects the
relevant pins for a given processor, then take a socket for the processor and
soldre the wires into the cups and putting header on the end of the wires.
Then you put the socket in the programmer and connect the header to the board
and it programs. The only thing to watch out for is that one of the pins
you have to connect is vdd and you don't want the programmer to try to
power your whole board so you may need to add a diode in
there.
Hope
that helps
Shawn

Hi ... and... if you power the target board with the PICSTART, it may go down the drain. It can't handle the current. I have however sucessfully powered the target, and then connected my PICSTART, and then programmed the PIC. Should work if the pins (often RB6 and RB7 - depends on PIC) are connected to soething hi-Z; that is, if the RB6 and 7 are outputs anyway. MCLR must also handle "abuse" from your PICSTART. /Sven > I have used the picstart plus by simply putting a header on my board that > connects the relevant pins for a given processor, then take a socket for > the > processor and soldre the wires into the cups and putting header on the end > of the wires.
