![]() ![]() Īs a final step, you can design a simple rectangular case to 3d print just to protect the PicKit, you wouldn't want it to break or short-circuit, I'll leave it up to you.So, we decided and decided to assemble our first homemade product on a microcontroller, it remains only to figure out how to program it. Among the messages it displays it should read 'Reloading hex file'. If you wish to modify your program you don't need to import the hex file again, you should just compile it an click 'Write' in the PicKit software. With MPLAB X you can find the hex file of your project in 'Project_Directory > dist > default > production > Project_'Ĭlick 'Write' and wait for it to show 'Programming Successful' Open MPLAB, MPLAB X, or whichever IDE you are using and compile the program.Īfter compiling, go back to PicKit 2 and go to 'File > Import Hex'. If it still doesn't detect the PIC, check the connections. Wait for PicKit to detect the PIC showing 'PIC Device Found', if it doesn't then try clicking ‘Tools > Check communication’ a couple times. If you don't know how you can search online for the pin distribution of the PIC and find the corresponding MCLR, VDD, VSS, PGD and PGC pins to connect to the programmer. Wait for PicKit to detect the programmer, and if it doesn't, click 'Tools > Check Communication'.Ĭonnect the PIC we want to program to our programmer. 1 x 680uH inductor, resistor-like package įirst plug in our programmer and open PicKit 2. ![]() 1 x 28 pin thin IC socket (for the PIC18F2550).PC (for programming the PIC that goes into the PicKit).Already working programmer (This is the downside, maybe you can borrow one).PCB etching tools and materials - Can be replaced with a breadboard but will take up more space.I made this because it is way cheaper than buying an original PicKit and because Microchip, the manufacturers of PIC microcontrollers and the PicKit programmer, provides schematics and software, making it really easy for us to design our own programmers, definitely an advantage of using PICs. Hi! This is a short Instructable on making a PIC programmer which acts as a PicKit 2. ![]()
