I expect to restart my work with PICs 18F, now using a Pickit 4. My last programmer was a Picstartplus.
a) I've been reading about ICSP. Since some of the circuits I have in mind could require using pins RB6 and RB7 I would appreciate concrete suggestions on what to implement to segregate the Pickit4 from the circuit, thinking that I will be using it for debugging as well. Regarding this last, segregation seems not to be the most appropriate, isn't it?
Please add also the /MCLR pin where I always apply a Reset button in parallel with the circuit suggested by Microchip in the datasheets.
I am looking for a non precarious solution so I can focus my attention in the programming/debugging.
Have to admit that for the moment I am at lost on what could I implement other than a string of jumpers.
b) Could anyone sumarize what should I do to simplify matters about powering the circuit with an independent PSU or via the Pickit? I feel inclined to use always an adhoc PSU.
c) What settings / connections should I change for programming / debugging?
Gracias for any help!
