Pickit 2 clone The Universal Microchip PIC Programmer /Debugger

The PICkit™ 2  Programmer/Debugger is a low-cost development tool with an easy to use interface for programming and debugging Microchip’s Flash families of microcontrollers. The full featured Windows programming interface supports baseline, mid-range, PIC18,8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit microcontrollers, and many Microchip Serial EEPROM products. With Microchip’s powerful MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE) the PICkit 2 enables in circuit debugging on most PIC microcontrollers. In-Circuit-Debugging runs, halts and single steps the program while the PIC microcontroller is embedded in the application. When halted at a breakpoint, the file registers can be examined and modified.

Features
1. This device will work like the normal pickit2.
2. This wll work for any pic (5 and 3.3V devices)
3. No mosfets no complex, only one voltage boost circuit.
4. you can program the target without PC.

you can also download the firmware form the microchip web site.
For Supported device list Please refer to Readme.txt and pickit 2 user manual for details on building, installing and using Pickit 2.

you can skip  IC3 and IC4 if you do not want  the feature of programming without PC.
these two eeprom chip are to store the code to be written on the target mcu without pc.
