Really simple question for you experts :)

[lew247]

Hmm so it's back to the manual again! (all 112 pages)
The reason I asked what to everyone here was a really simple question is it's easier to digest something from being told it than reading hundreds of pages of info and trying to pick out the couple of words you actually want, and then when you found what you want you get way too much info you dont actually need so you lose it or forget or misunderstand the meanings
All I wanted to know was what pins to connect the ICD2 to and do I connect them directly to the pins or through pullup/down resistors etc

Never mind, i worked it out
I THINK... tough if I got it wrong I'll just give up and bin the whole pic chip thing.
although if someone had actually answered instead of suggesting things I've already tried it would have been nice. I dont post questions unless I've already looked for the answer!

I know that, I've been following along with the posts...
But...by digesting those 100's of pages, you'll end up ingesting 100 answers that you don't know that you need, but will eventually.
I never said you were lazy ('cause there are certainly those types around here, gimme this gimme that).
I'll help you out a bit more...

Hi Lew,

Do a search for "In Circuit Serial Programming". The pinouts you have listed are what are connected to the pic to program it using the ICSP programming method. In Circuit Debuggers also uses these pins. Microchip also has a appnote on how to use ICSP. There's no need to have the full scope of this method repeated as it has been covered many times here.

HTH,
