    Default PICkit2 Problem

    I have to admit I am a total noob when it comes to programming and I had problems in the past with my old programmer so I bought the PICkit2 to use with my PIC basic Pro

    Well I tried using it and it stated that vdd pin is invalid or something like that

    here's how I have it wired up I don't have any diodes or resistors attached to the programmer am I supposed to?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Hi Techbuilder,
    here is the datasheet for the PICKIT2. Your Schematic looks correct to me. What manner of problem are you experiencing ?

    Are you powering the PIC with an independent power supply, or just the USB ? It will accept either, but not both together. There is a check box in the PICKit2 software to enable power from usb. Are there any loads on the 3 programming pins ? If so that will cause it to complain.

    Well I can't quite figure out using MPLAB Ide yet but I couldn't even get it to link an LED
    I tried micro code studio and then exported the hex fle and wrote it to the pic with the PICkit 2 os and still nothing.

    How do I set the fuses for the pic kit 2?

    I do not have it powered I am supplying my voltage from the Pickit 2

    I just program it with the pic it's self and I don't connect anything to it besides the PICkit2

    You need to set the fuses in code or in the *.inc
