PICkit 2 Operating Manual
PIC Placement diagram
The IC should be placed in the ZIF socket as shown in
the diagram. Jumper setting For 18/14/8 PIC the jumper is placed as shown in the below figure
For 40/28 PIC the jumper is placed as shown in the
below figure LED indicators
POWER – Red LED
TARGET – Green LED BUSY – Blue LED Steps to program microcontrollers
Prerequisite: The computer should be installed with
Microchip’s “PICkit 2” programmer software Connect the PICkit 2 programmer to an USB port of computer. Open the programmer software. Ensure that the device is detected correctly. The VDD PICkit 2 should be set at 5.0 volts or else an error dialogue will be shown. To erase the microcontroller click on the Erase button. To check whether the device is blank click the blank check button. Import the *.hex file by clicking the option in the file menu. Click on the write button.
