This video demonstrates how to program the pic micro-controller. The PicKit II programmer is used in the video, and can be found by just doing a "google" search. Some people are selling these things with an in circuit programming board, but in the video, I show how easily this can be built. I am using mikro C for the programming:

  • can i program a picaxe 20x2

  • @TheGodOfCodll not with this setup, picaxe requires inverted ttl serial comm, and a bootloader. Check out my videos on getting started with microcontrollers

  • Hey so I just set up my PIC18F26K20 following the steps in your video. Ive double checked the connections and i was able to create a hex file and load it into the PIC, except the LED still wont blink. I even took out the delay and the "turn-off LED" part so that the code would simply keep the LED on constantly, but it does not (no voltage being output at PORTA etc). Any suggestions as to what could be the problem?

  • @miblis make sure you have the right oscillator in, and its configured properly in the program, not sure what eles I can help with, also make sure you are holding the reset pin high and you have voltage on the right pins

  • Im trying to interface PIC16F877 with 16x2 LCD,using MikroC

    but i keep getting VDD error in PICkit 2 software saying "PICkit 2 VDD voltage error.check target and retry operation"

    i reconnected the circuit,changed the breadboard,got a new battery!new microcontroller,changed everythingggggg and still same error :(

    HELP!

  • @Silav89 thats kinda weird, check for shorts, and rewire the circuit, check with a meter how much voltage the picKit2 is putting out... sorry

see all

  • @hempu96 no. Although most microcontrollers including the PIC16F877A run on a C based language very easy to pick up on. :)

  • can anyone pls let me know wats the price of the pickit2??
