thanks Dave. I use ICD2 or 3 So all my ICSP headers are custom. I do think I will configure it to be the same as Pickit2 as it seems to be populer.
I will remove the jumpers, that came from the 3311 datasheet.
Any thoughts on the usb->232 cable? will this work?

I must have a different data sheet, I do not see the jumpers. But I am still half asleep...

Are you talking one of those USB to serial conversion cables? If so, yes. Those conversion cables will also work if you are using SERIN2/SEROUT2 inverted without a MAX chip.

Always wear safety glasses while programming.
One thing to be aware of is that USB-serial adapters require conversions on both ends, serial-to-USB & USB-to-serial. This can be a factor in time critical applications. IOW, 9600bps will not be a true measure of throughput. I have encountered problems with some bootloaders when using USB-serial and, also, with ethernet-serial adapters. Also, while not a factor here, some USB adapters do not handle all of the modem control lines like DTR, etc.

I use these with ny laptops.

As long as the signal is inverted, either by software or hardware it will work.

I like these...http://www.byterunner.com/byterunner...ct_match=exact. They work with Windows, Linux and OSX. You need drivers for Windows & OSX.
About half the cost too.
Thanks!!!

not normally this dense
Well maybe I am, but I don't know if I know more now or less. Heres where I have stumped myself.
Now the 3311 inverts the signal, so should I not use it if I am using the 232 to usb? Or does the cable take care of this? I would stupidly expect the 232 to usb cable to send/receive proper usb signals on the usb side and proper 232 signals on the 232 side.
This sounds like daveH post.

I doubt it's a factor here but...I'm not sure what you mean here
On the PC end your serial signal gets converted to USB before it's transmitted. When received at the adapter it is converted from USB back to serial and then passed to the PIC. If your link is bidirectional the same conversions take place on signals from your PIC to your PC. At 9600bps, it's not much of an issue but at higher bit rates it can be significant. I've seen firmware downloads to an MCU that took 5 or more times as long over a USB-serial-adapter vs. a straight serial link. In some cases the download failed because the supervisory software didn't receive an ACK within the expected time. This can be even more pronounced over ethernet-serial adapters if there is heavy network traffic.
As I noted, it's just something to be aware of so you won't be scratching your head should you encounter it.
No, I am the one asleep, after looking at the datasheet again, I realized that came from some circuit I found on the net.
Is this Yes it will work as I want, and also it will work using SERIN2/SEROUT2...?Are you talking one of those USB to serial conversion cables? If so, yes. Those conversion cables will also work if you are using SERIN2/SEROUT2 inverted without a MAX chip.
The target puter for this app has an actual rs232 port, but I am wanting to play with my laptop first.
