Hi, friends, The first version of this clone was build on the assumption that all 3v devices are 5V tolerant. But the case is not like that , i was wrong at that time. So i made some changes (see the new schematic in the blog) in the circuit, so it now produce only 3.3v Vhi on digital pins when a 3.3 device is connected and 4.05 VHi when a 5V device is connected. So it assures the protection for 3.3 Vhi devices. So protection is there and it is possible to debug and burn the pic now. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
