This is going to seem so simple that most of you will possibly flame me down but...
I've got an ICD2 programmer and am making a circuit board up with a 16F877A (first time making a board and not programming a chip in a developement board)
from what I've discovered so far the pins on the ICD2 are
1 VPP
2 VDD
3 GND
4 PGD
5 PGC
Could someone be so kind as to tell me what pins they go to on the pic please, and yes I HAVE looked at the pdf file for the pic but its confusing as most pins have multip in/outs
The good news is once I've found out i'll never need to ask again
From what I can see by reading the specs of the chip is
vdd is pins 11/32
vpp pin 1 (should I pull this high permanantly as I wont be using the reset function at all?) Also would it be best to connect this to pins 11/32? or would this affect anything?
PGD is pin 40,
PGC is pin 39 ( If I wanted to use either of these two pins as inputs or outputs is there any special config bits I need? or would it be best/simpler to just use them for one thing until I know my way round a PIC better?
Ground would I just connect this to VSS (pins 12/31)
Whats pin 36 PGM? would using this pin to drive an lcd display (along with the other bits(lines) on PORTB make any difference and would I need to config anything for this pin?
Sorry for asking what to you must seem a really stupid question(s) but I have looked and I cant find a definitive answer anywhere as most circuits I've seen are usually using a proper programmer you pop the chip into
