[sarinsukumar]

Hai friends i made a pickit2 clone (which supports programming and debugging no other options)



**broken link removed**



Pickit 2 Clone Revised Pickit2 circuit. Work for both 5V and 3.3 devices. Only 18F2550 , 4 transistors (2N3906(3) and 2N3904(1)), one Diode and a capacitor of 25V are are needed!!!!!!!!!!!. Your expense will be below 5$.....

Hi guys i am gonna explain a little features....The SPECS..

. This device will work like the normal pickit2 with out some extra features

. This wll work for any pic (5 and 3.3V devices)

. This U can make to even smaller (1/4 th of the original) with smd components

. No mosfets no complex, only one voltage boost circuit.

. defects are that you should give an external supply for the PIC (in ICSP every time u wll be having the supply with u right ??)(If u r going to do one project, definitelyyou will be having the supply with U.....)NTHING else to take care go and build it and enjoy... (dont forget to download the firmware from microchip)

I am giving the detailed schematic diagram also. U can ask any doubts .

That's really nice.Luckily you removed mosfets, that they are really hard to find.
