    So,

    ICD2 from Microchip
    PicFlash2 from Mikroelektronika ...

    are the ones I would recommend.

    Thank you very much!!

    Do I need any modifications on my circuit if I move over to in-circuit programming?

    The ICSP used pins must be disabled from your circuitry just for programming ... you re-enable those PCB tracks after programming by using jumpers or, simpler by tin drops on the PCB side.

    see here :

    http://www.mikroe.com/pdf/picflash_manual_v5.pdf

    It's the clearest document I know ...

    By the way ...

    Think ICD2 is the most powerful and will allow 16 and 32 Bits ICSP Pics programming AND Debugging with MPLAB ...

    Only 8 bits with The PicFlash ... and no PbP debugging.

    But cost is also different !!!

    Will I be able to do PbP debugging with the ICD2?

    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

    Thank you Dave.

    Do I need the PICKIT2 to adapt the PICSTART into an ICSP?
