So i have my ICD2 debugger board (USB and it is connected to my breadboard/project w/ the ICSP header. its wired up to my MC and is programming/debugging/working fine.
My question is how can i run the MC w/o using the ICSP supplied MCLR pin (VPP). i assume i should be able to unplug the ICSP VPP pin from the MC and just tie the MC's MCCLR/VPP up to 5V+ to run the MC normally? i also assume that i should NOT have both the ICSP's VPP AND 5+ at the same time. thatd be no good when it tries to program at 12V+. so i just wanted to make sure i'm doing that right i guess.
i wonder because it sort of seems like my MC doesnt work w/o the ICD2 hooked up
