pic16f84 with pickit2

[Acetronics2]

The Pickit2 do need ICSP capability of the Pic ...

That's all !!!

BUT ...

Just browse the web for simple 16F84 programmers ( see "ICPROG" web page i.e.
http://www.ic-prog.com/index1.htm or "JDM Programmer" ... ) when you'll see how simple they are ... you won't hesitate !!!

Read this page; http://www.microchip.com/stellent/id...cName=en027813

You will see a list of all devices supported by the PicKit2 programmer, and a list of headers & adapters required to program/debug some device types (look down the right side).

is there any way to use this ic for the pickit 2 programmer.

Yes. Either build or purchase the required device header & adapter required for the device you have on-hand.

Zk_bamx2,
you need winXP, .net &MPLAB8 and its associated package pblished on MIcrochip.com
You have to install the pickit2 2.4 driver .
After plugging in the PICKIT2, run the pickit2 software-- select midrange devices, select 16f84A and then load the HEX file.
make a small cable to plug into the ICSP socket - pins are described by them
connect the other end to the relevant pins of the f84A..
It should be possible to program Sir.
