Pickit2 clone

kp2010 · Apr 5, 2011

hii i got this pickit2 schematic from some link am planning to build this i just wanted to make sure whether the circuit will work or not? can anybody please check this circuit...

Looks likes ok.You can compare with bills pickit2 clone.

Read Junebug Assembly Manual in this site.

I always found it rather humorous--A PICkit programmer clone that requires an already-programmed chip in the circuit...

Genie Design Studio has produced a PIC programmer that does not need a pre-programamed chip. But it only works with their development board.

This is a simple clone and it works I think better then the real thing It can program faster.**broken link removed**

Can't see the values in your schematic Bert. Don't see any inductor either?

Do you mean these values and this inductor?

It works fine with any from 480h to 680h. I did forget that but the rest are there. I posted inductor size where the sch is posted.

thanks Gayan Soyza ....

My circuit adds 22R in series with a 1mH inductor.

Pickit2 is only a few $$$ surely for the price of the bits and heartache of not working, isn't it easier to buy one? mine was about £24

Cheers Ian

PICkit2 is better than the clone. The clone does not always program a PIC16F628A. The voltages on a PICkit turn off. The clone does not.

Gayan Soyza · Apr 6, 2011

The easiest PIC that I was found that is easiest to program is PIC16F628A.It can program from any programmer.

It does not matter if you find the PIC16F628A will program from any programmer. I am telling you that I program hundreds of NEW chips and the clone simply refuses to program some new chips.

my friend said clone can read and write all the 5v pics...which original one does...if there is any original pickit2 schematic and pcb layout please share here.. i want to build myself .....

be80be · Apr 6, 2011

If you want to build a full pickit2 clone you may as well buy one. The one I posted you can find all the parts most any where. And I know for a fact it works better then most I built over a 100 programmers. Testing for the best one.

hi Burt,
I dont think your PCB is big enough for a 480H choke....

It's uH I forgot the u the ones I use are about a 1/8 long smt parts.

But your right ericgibbs it would be big lol

and the switching period would be around a week

I have both a PICKit2 and a clone from Sure Electronics. I have inspected both and see little if any difference between them other than the screen printing. The clone works trouble free unlike the PICkit2 which works when it feels like it
I think it needs the firmware reloaded.
