Good. Now in MPLAB go to 'Debugger-Select Tool' and choose the ICD2. The= n go to 'Debugger - Download ICD2 Operating System'. Remember that in Debug mode, the ICD2 wants to see a target PIC with power applied and an oscillator running. In Program mode you don't need to have an oscillator = on the target.=20 One thing I noticed is that MPLAB doesn't remember that I am using COM1 instead of USB even though it writes the proper information to the ICD2.I= NI file.
