Looks like all I need to connect to a PDIP 16F887 on a solderless board are the six wires from the USB device and two .1uf caps between Vcc and Gnd. The rest of the Microchip PICkit 2 schematic I do not use. (Some LED's would be nice.) Don't forget two isolated batteries. One for the DC motors the other for the logic.

This is little considering the six Zettler relays, the SN7407, and a 5v regulator. Hmmmm

Does this seem correct to you?
