How To Program Pic16f628a Using Pickit2

Barney And Friends Font. PICkit 2 and PIC16F628A chip Hi there. I should begin by saying that I really am a complete novice at this—I only barely have an idea as to how all this works, so please bear with me! I recently purchased a PICkit 2 programmer in the hopes of programming a 16F628A chip out of the box, as Microchip's website says that this programmer is compatible with said chip.

Unfortunately, I now realise that the Low Pin Count Demo board supplied with the PICkit 2 doesn't work with 18-pin PICs, as Microchip support tell me. Onto my question: what do I need to do to my PICkit 2 to get it to program a PIC16F628A chip? Can I just put something together on a breadboard and attach it, or perhaps I can alter the Low Pin Count Demo board to make that work.?

Hi there, This is the right solution for a closed thread named 'Can't Reprogram PIC16F628A with Pickit2'. The PICKIT2 (or PICKIT3) is reading the ID of the.

I've really no idea—please help! Roberta Gambarini You Are There Rar. Thanks from a newbie in need. Also, would the following device work?

Rather than stripping one off I'd suggest just getting a 6-pin single row. 40 Pin Zif Socket Pdf more. 1' spaced header with long tails to use as a double-male header to connect the female cable to the female PICkit 2 ICSP. This is not an endorsement of using that product, however! EX, one of these would cut into 6 6-pin adapters.
