Hi be80be,
I have a question about the programmer. I would think that all I would need is the USB connections and the crystal and caps for PICkit 2 to detect the programmer. Is this a valid assumption? I want to try to re-use a breadboard that was used for a different USB project, and I have the 4 USB connections and the crystal and caps correct. I can see oscillations on one pin of the cap, and I see a short burst of USN activity when I connect the USB connector to the board. However Windows device manager says that there is an unknown device connected, and PICkit 2 does not detect the programmer. What would be the bare minimum circuitry needed for PICkit 2 to detect the programmer, not necessarily to actually program?
Regards,
mike
