This also explains ICSP. http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/e...Doc/51553E.pdf

You can also adapt you PICSTART into a ICSP. I use 6x1 headers that match the PICKIT2 on the PCB. Make the adapter DIP to cable for the PICSTART , use MCLR, ICSPDAT, ICSPCLK, and VSS from the PICKSTART. Power is provided at the PCB.

FOLLOW ALL OF THE ISOLATION GUIDELINES

Now you can use a PICKIT2 or the PICSTART.

My PICKSTART stays on the bench and my PICKIT goes on the road.

Thats my two cents
