Hello and thanks for all the help. I have to report that I have programmed one board with the Pickit as you taught me, using MPLABX no problem. I still have lots of questions but ok first.
please pardon my ignorance for the following question.
So far I have been using a board that has a PIC18F2553. You can see the schematics here
Some years ago I used a similar one with 18F2550 and I have bought one too with 18F4553 with a PICKIT3 connection (what for I dont know since now I know how to connect anything shhhh) I have programmed it with a simple LED blink program, power it through the USB and now it blinks no problem
Anyway, here is my super beginner questions:
I have a couple of PICs here too in my desk .
1) Can I program them in a similar way? (I guess I can)
2) Can I run my program after that with them??
I ask this because different than the board I use, this is only the chip. In the board there is an oscillator connected to 8 and 9 and some resistors and capacitors and plus well the USB connection, but the thing that worries me is :
ICs, by themselves can not work, can they? I am guessing they need an oscillator to work. Or do they have an "internal oscillator"?
Thank you for your help and knowledge
