Pic programming

From MPLAB V7.62, PICKit2 now support debugging.
I would recommend to consider it as a low cost version of ICD2.

Both ICD2 and PICKit2 are great tools. And both support programming and In-Circuit Debugging.

Here is the size compare of an enhanced version of PICkit2 (CB0703) and an ICD2.

CB0703 includes an optional external power supply and can fit both USB type B and Mini-B connector.

DIY kits and accessory are also available for Microchip fans and engineering students.

This is a Do It yourself design on PICkit 2 programmer: Au Group Electronics-CB0703.


Major feature:

small size with SMD design: 72mmx32mm, slightly smaller than Microchip design though more function is included.
RJ12 ICSP interface make it possible to be easily adapted to work with board designed for ICD2.
external power supply circuit is included.
support both USB type B and MiniB connector
fully compatible with Microchip design down to the components name level.
Here are two photos showing two fully assembled boards:

1.Board assembled with USB type B connector.



2.Board assembled with USB-miniB connector, highlighted part is the external power supply connector.

Our new "BB0703+128K" and "BB0703+256K" are now available for immediate shipment.

This is the second generation design based on our popular "BB0703" (PICKit 2 based) products.

The "BB0703+128K" and "BB0703+256K" come with all enhanced feature of "BB0703", plus the following new enhanced features:

1. Buck/Boost voltage regulation circuits are now standard on all "BB0703+" family. This feature guarantees the ICSP programming working correctly even when USB power supply dropped down to 3V.

2. Native support of 256K EEPROM on "BB0703+256K", no hardware modification is necessary to take the advantage of 256K memory for programmer-to-go (PTG) feature.

Other major features:

*Full implement of Microchip-recommended PICkit 2 circuits
*plus unique enhanced features such as: external power supply, RJ12 interface, buck/boost voltage regulator etc.
*Well designed hardware, no "Vpp pumping" is required
*Dimension:3" L x 1.72"W x 0.81"H (77 x 43.5 x 20.5 mm)
*Color: PC white or Black
*USB power supply: 5V 100 mA
*USB connector: Type B or Mini-B
*Enhanced extra power supply (Optional): 9V 100 mA, positive center
*ICSP interface: RJ12 6-Pin
*Chip support: baseline (PIC10F, PIC12F5xx, PIC16F5xx), midrange (PIC12F6xx, PIC16F), PIC18F, PIC24, dsPIC30, dsPIC33, PIC32, and Microchip Serial EEPROM products
*A RJ12 6 pin reverse cable included, BB0703+ can work directly with board developed for ICD2/ICD3/RealICE for programming and/or debugging
