Hi
I have been interested in electronics for a while now and I have just gotten into microcontrollers. I have purchased a PICKit 1 a few months ago and I am having a lot of fun.
However there is a project in a magazine that I would like to build, and the microcontroller (PIC16F88) is not on the PIC Kit 1 compatible devices list.
Is it possible to make a small board with a IC socket on it that would plug into the evaluation socket then configure it so that all the programming pins (PGC, PGD, Vpp, Vss and Vdd) from the PIC Kit go into the respective pins on the PIC16F88. So basically a PCB thet would re-direct the programming pins from the PIC Kit into the correct pins on the new PIC.
Would this work? Or would the board just 'Release its Smoke'?
Also, there is another project utilizing a PIC18F2550, would this method work on it too?
Thanks,
Tom
