ICD and USB UART device

[tumbleweed]

Having 1K in parallel with 20K shouldn<t have an impact when the allowable range is 10-50K, I would think.

You might want to rethink that. What's 1K in parallel with 20K?

Although to be honest, I've used 1K before without too many issues.

Get rid off the 1K resistor. LABX1 was on a very safe side with this value and with 20K in parallel you are now less than 1K.

Are you trying to have ICD with Basic?

Wouldn't it be better to just change the 1K to a 10K on the X1 and get rid of the extra resistor in the cable?
That way you still have the MCLR pullup on the board.

Robert said he had 20k in parallel with 1K. So a 20K I think is just fine.

Thanks for the ideas:

I've made a new cable without any built-in resistors.

I've also put aside my X1 for now, I'll change that 1K pull-up "soonday".

For now, I'm sticking with breadboards for USART testing.
