VDD power delivering Pickit2

This is a variation of Pickit2 clone that I have made earlier

Update 15 aug: PCB layout files for eagle. Thanks to Toobert for sharing it. Download it from here

I recommend going through the readme and problem reported by toobert in the comment section

Updated( 4 may 2011) as the last schematic is reported as bit complicated and many find it difficult to understand and difficult to make. So I simplified it with a small idea of two different jumpers and an LM317; which is readily available....So now you may use with 3.3 or 5/ i heard that microchip have 2V devices also, so if you want with some jumper configuration or use and extra lm317 and one more jumper to derive one more voltage.

In this I have enabled the VDD power delivering capacity of the pickit2 with normal components.
Here use the jumper to switch Pickit2 VDD or External.
If u want to give VDD from PICKIT2 then use j3 and j4 according to the vdd of target PIC.

else leave the jumpers open.
If your circuit draws more than 150mA; I recommend using the external VDD supply (2-3 jumper position).
And be very cautious to use the jumpers also else u will get your pic burned with a wrong VDD.

Change From the original Schematics

Sarin sukumar A:- Full featured Pickit2 Clone.

Sarin sukumar A:-
Pickit 2 Clone Revised Pickit2 circuit. Work for both 5V and 3.3 devices. Only 18F2550 , 4 transistors (2N3906(3) and 2N3904(1)), one Diode and a capacitor of 25V are are needed!!!!!!!!!!!. Your expense will be below 5$.....

Hi guys i am gonna explain a little features....The SPECS..

1. This device will work like the normal pickit2 with out some ridiculous features

2. This wll work for any pic (5 and 3.3V devices)

3. This U can make to even smaller (1/4 th of the original) with smd components

4. No mosfets no complex, only one voltage boost circuit.

5. Difference is that U should give an external supply for the PIC (in ICSP every time u wll be having the supply with u right ??)(If u r going to do one project, definitelyyou will be having the supply with U.....)NTHING else to take care go and build it and enjoy... (dont forget to download the firmware from microchip)

6. When ever you connect the target device, you should enable the communication by manually doing "Check Communication" from the menu of Pickit2 GUI.

7. VPP first mode will not be available

Recently (8-12-09) i have made some changes to the schematic so please check it (BAT54 is replaced with transistor 2n3904 & protection circuitry).

Today (9/12/09) I have made a variation of this pickit2 clone, Which can deliver VDD power supply for 3.3V and 5V Devices.

Hellooo,,Visitor…!
This is a blog which works for you. I created this blog with the idea that, any one with any doubts in electronics, physics and other newer technologies can post their doubts in this blog. Also they can post their queries related to electronics (must be meaning full)!!!. Let me say that, the internet is a big ocean of knowledge; you can get any information from internet. But.. There is a problem.. How can you access this information???; Through GOOGLE? Wikipedia? Yahoo? Huh?. Yes you can do that; if u possesses good searching skills and enough patience. Otherwise your time might be wasted. GOOGLE and other search engines are providing a highly sorted search, but you have to give the correct keywords and search words in suitable formats to access the exact information. Instead of wasting your time you can post your doubts in this blog or mail me to sarinsukumar@gmail.com . I have enough searching skills to access the precise information I wanted in minimum amount of time. So I can do the Internet search for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Don’t think that I am doing a service for you....No, Never; I have a lot of work with me already. But I can spend a little bit of time with your doubt; so that I and you will be getting knowledge. So without wasting your time, leave a query in the blog, the answer will come to you (include your E-mail ID with the query).
