How To Program Pic16f628a Using Pickit2
PICkit 2 and PIC16F628A chip Hi there. I should begin by saying that I really am a complete novice at this—I only barely have an idea as to how all this works, so please bear with me! I recently purchased a PICkit 2 programmer in the hopes of programming a 16F628A chip out of the box, as Microchip's website says that this programmer is compatible with said chip. Unfortunately, I now realise that the Low Pin Count Demo board supplied with the PICkit 2 doesn't work with 18-pin PICs, as Microchip support tell me. Onto my question: what do I need to do to my PICkit 2 to get it to program a PIC16F628A chip? Can I just put something together on a breadboard and attach it, or perhaps I can alter the Low Pin Count Demo board to make that work.? I've really no idea—please help!
Thanks from a newbie in need. Also, would the following device work?
I would probably have to strip the plastic connector from the supplied cable to get it to fit in the PICkit's socket, but it looks compatible otherwise—would it work?

As a suggestion if you decide to try it: The supplied cable looks female on both ends. Rather than stripping one off I'd suggest just getting a 6-pin single row.1' spaced header with long tails to use as a double-male header to connect the female cable to the female PICkit 2 ICSP.

ORIGINAL: henryaj Just to elaborate: I already have a compiled.hex file to program onto the appropriate chip, so I only need to use the PICkit Programmer software (rather than the IDE at this stage). When I connect my PIC16F628A chip, the programmer software doesn't detect that there's a chip present, because the Low Pin Count Demo board doesn't support 18-pin PICs as I understand.
PICkit 2 and PIC16F628A chip. Can you please re-post the file/link for how to use the PICkit2 to program the 16F628A? I can't find a local copy of that jpg either. Hi there, This is the right solution for a closed thread named 'Can't Reprogram PIC16F628A with Pickit2'. The PICKIT2 (or PICKIT3) is reading the ID of the.
Thanks again, Henry I have found the rules for using the PICkit2 for In-Circuit-Serial-Programming rather confusing. So, I bought a Radio Shack $3,00 prototyping board and constructed a dedicated PICkit2 programming jig. I installed a 40-pin zero insertion socket and three 6-pin headers. Wires connect each header with the correct 40-pin zif socket pins to do the following: The PICkit2 plugs into header A to program 14, 16, and 20 pin PICs.
The PICkit2 plugs into header B to program 18 pin PICs And, the PICkit2 plugs into header C to program 28 and 40 pin PICs. I installed a second zif socket into an IC socket on the target board.

Per the documentation (Low Pin Count Demo Board User's Guide) the LPC Demo Board only supports 8, 14, & 20 - pin devices. The PIC16F628A is an 18-pin device, and cannot be used with the LPC Demo Board. You can use a 'breadboard' which has connective strips that allow the device and wires to just be 'plugged in' without soldering: solid-core wire should be used with it (not stranded) - this might be worthwhile to get too: Finally, a 0.1' header would be easiest to use to plug the PICkit 2 into the breadboard (then wire the header to the PIC pins). (Sorry, can't find any at Radio Shack) You will need to connect the following signals from the first 5 pins of the PICkit 2 output connector to the PIC16F628A. The '1' pin has the white triangle on the PICkit 2 case pointing to it: (See section 1.5.4 FIGURE 1-2 of the PICkit 2 User Guide for a graphic) PICkit 2 pin PIC16F628A pin 1- Vpp/MCLR MCLR (4) 2- VDD VDD (14) 3- VSS VSS (5) 4- PGD PGD (13) 5- PGC PGC (12) Pin 6 of the PICkit 2 connector is not used. You can find pinout information (what pin number are what) from the datasheet, which can be found on the Microchip website.
