I recently bought a Pickit 2 clone off ebay. Just received it yesterday and not what I expected. I thought it would have a couple diff size sockets to plug PIC's into for programming , instead it's has a USB port, and some kind of other port that's used to program the chips. What do I need? Or how do I actually program with it? I'm really knew to PIC's and have my first batch. So far I've just been learning the assembler language and playing with gpsim.
