Post by thread:[PIC] PICKIT2 for field programming

At one point there was some discussion about the PICKIT2 and the 'red' button. My unit has a black button, so does that mean its an old or new unit? What I am trying to determine is can this be used to do field updates. Target is a 16F887 processor, with the programming pins accessible in the product. I think, from what I can tell from the manual and scoping around the net is you can download the hex file to the PICKIT2, and then dump the contents to the target b pressing the button. Is this the case, as I can't find anything that spells it out as such.

AFAIR the difference between the older and the newer pickit2 revision is not relevant here. -- Wouter van Ooijen -- ------------------------------------------- Van Ooijen Technische Informatica: http://www.voti.nl consultancy, development, PICmicro products docent Hogeschool van Utrecht: http://www.voti.nl/hvu

Take a look at http://www.microchip.com/pickit2 there's a link for Programmer-To-Go User Guide. I think that's what you're looking for.
