I have a PIC18F4550 quick start kit from the provider "Rhydolabz" in India.
From what i understand,the pic has a bootloader already burned into it.
It also seems the hardware is rigged up right to enable it to communicare via USB.
(i am including a pic of what i think are the relevant connections.correct me if i got it wrong)
My question is,can i program this device via USB?
What i already tried:using a usb to serial converter cable.
the programmer that i was provided with does not detect the prolific COM port that is generated.
I know nothing of the bootloader though,i am somewhat of a beginner in microcontrollers.
