Yes those cheap programmer units. Tend often to be quite expensiveWe should make your post a sticky as a warning to others.
The EEPROM is used for the programmer to go option. In PICKIT 2 and 3. You can download code. And then use the PICKIT as an off-line ICSP unit. Most often you will not need this. And the EEPROM is not usedThe yellow perils are PICKIT2 clones but with features removed, some have fixed 5V for the Vdd of the PIC (but can be switched to application powered). They don't have the EEPROM - I think Microchip put it there for some future upgrade that never happened.
They also don't have the AUX pin.
You say you can't do in circuit programming. Does the programmer work with PICs in the ZIF socket?shoulda bought that yellow one then lol
If it works in the ZIF socket, but not in the circuit, there's something wrong with your circuit or with the wiring from the programmer to your circuit. What PIC are you trying to program?Yes but the thing is, not the chip im using. And its the only one I have.
