I had posted a thread about "low cost pickit2 clone" making after many reviews i have made it more simple. Like some thing u can make it with the controller (pic 18F2550) and some discrete components which are easily available. No mosfets (difficult to find) not even bat 54 (schottky diode) . just few transistors and diodes. which support programing and debugging + 5 and 3.3 V device support with protection circuitry. You can find the full article here with schematics. http://electronicsadvices.blogspot.com/2009/04/full-featured-pickit2-clone.html -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Low-cost-pickit2-CLONE-again-simplified-tp26678085p26678085.html Sent from the PIC - [PIC] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
