sorry sir skimask, but it doesn't indicate the version anywhere in the programmer or in the packaging.based on the computer program, pickit 2 v2.11. don't know it that is the version.

is there a particular way to find it

thanks so much

hi

Maybe its worth posting your query to microchip on their forum

http://forum.microchip.com/tt.aspx?forumid=15

They also have loads and loads of support for the hardware they manufacture, bit difficult to find at first, but once your onto it, your up up and away

Ok, how many pins are on the PIC and/or PIC socket on the board you got?

[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.
