does Lothar's ICD2 clone work with MPLAB v7.61

[HATHA]

Hi
is any one build lothar's ICD2 clone?
is it work with MPLAB v 7.61?
does all serial port base programmer (including ICD2 ) have fixed Vdd problem(mean disability to controll Vdd)?
is their any parallel port base ICD/programmer?

If you want to own a ICD2 programmer, buy blueroomelectronics - Smart Kits Build Smart People inchworm+. It is great and I have never had a problem with it.

No ICD2 uses the parallel port, only RS232 or USB.

thank you for your reply
but guy like me it's(Inchrom) bit expensive
1$=Rs104
that is i try to make Lother's ICD2

 

[Krumlink]

You could always build it from the schematic too. It actually is not too difficult.

It's actually a modified version of Lothars design. Simpler VPP generation, I'm selling the bare Inchworm PCBs cheap too $9

I had Lothar's serial ICD2 working in MPLAB 7.x, but it didn't work in 8.x. I'm not sure if it was a software issue or something broke during storage.

I've had no problem with MPLAB 8.xx, works fine.

As earlier mentioned its working with MPLAB v 7.XX.

Not all serial programmers support VPP control option.There also a modified JDM version that control VPP.

Nothing to tell Blueroomelectronics debuggers they controls VPP nicely.I still use his INCHWORM + ICD.

Just a bit of trivia, I have an Inchworm+ that uses a reed relay instead of the BS250P. The relay version can VDD switch 500ma vs the 220ma of the P-channel FET.
