There should be posts as I did the board (garage version with laser printer to copper board layout) as Bill posted the PCB (Bill is the Blueroom fellow that designed it). Mike K8LH helped me out on it as well.

Search the forums here (not google). Search for ICD2 and inchworm.

i download the file

Inchworm%20Assembly%20Instructions

from here **broken link removed**
But there is no PCB in this file.
I want to use Toner transfer method for making PCB.
I need Single Side PCB if some one already made it then help me plzz if he don't mind.

Second!
Is there any mistake in the circuit which is in the above file...

I'd rather hand wire a small project like the inchworm (that's how I built the prototype) than etch & drill a PCB.

I've been debating selling the blank PCBs, $14 + S&H

You'd still need a way to program the initial 16F877A though.

If you're selling the PCB's (which are really nice quality!) why not sell a pre-programmed 16F877A with it? - that overcomes all the problems really?.

I've never been requested. The 16F877A is the single most expensive part in the kit.

The whole thing sells with all the parts sans case for only $39 US, PCB + 16F877A approx $25. Guess I could, thanks for the suggestion Nigel.

How's your Inchworm working?

If you give the option it's always there for people who don't have access to a programmer, such as a friend with one.

How's your Inchworm working?

I've not had occasion to use it yet, I've been pretty busy with other things lately!.

Black & White

I need Black a white version,
Black traces and white background

 

[mramos1]

Nigel is right on the chip. That is a good idea.

Mike K8LH sent me one programmed.

Ayne, load it in a graphic program and flip it to black and white, or select the dark green and hit delete. That is what I did.

But for $14 maybe just order one. They are BLUE and professionally done.

it did not work..
the picture is not in only two colors

I live in Pakistan here 1$ = 60 rupees approx, it is not easy for paying for a student.
And the second is shiping problem therefore i can't buy.

 

[mramos1]

Ayne, you should fill in your location in the profile.

I Bill does not have one, I will find the one I converted post it.

Here's a .PDF 1:1 not mirrored, I've never tested this version. Check the transistor orientation.

Thank u "William At MyBlueRoom" ..

Dear Ayne,
Did u test the ICD2 PCB is it working fine ant lesson ;learnet etc ?
Please share.

I'm clearing out the orginal Inchworm PCBs for cheap, check my homepage.

Dear Ayne,

Why not thousands of people working with that ICD2 including me.

Its Working superbly.No need to check it again it has been checked by many engineers around the world.

Just get a PCB or the whole kit from blueroomelectronics.

 

[RAJ.MIRK]

I am interested in knowing that ,is it working with latest version of MPLab IDE?
secondly the software that is hex dump for it can be used from latest MPLAB IDE .Well any one having all the Gerber files for the PCB, all layers. Lastly if I have to refer it to all the electronic enthu in my country can i tell them about it by writing an article. Any legal issues .I will request blueroomelectronics to give me permission to use their PCB in my article.
regards,
