Microchip do not recommend any particular circuit for ICSP programming. There are diagrams for different tools, such as Pro Mate and PICKit2 with similar circuitry but slight variations. In some schematics, their suggested resistor values are too small, in our opinion, and can cause problems with programmers, even Microchip ones. Kanda have developed a recommended In System

Programming circuit that will work effectively with our PIC programmer range, and other PIC programmers. This circuit is shown in the diagram below. Please read the notes that describe the circuit and explain the effect of extra components such as capacitors. Kanda programmers are designed to provide 3. 3V or 5V to the target circuit, but some other ICSP programmers always supply 5V. If your circuit operates at a lower voltage than the programmer, then the diode shown on VDD should be fitted to protect the rest of the circuit. A series resistor may be acceptable instead of the diode in some cases. MCLR/VPP pin needs a resistor to VDD. A minimum of 1K should work but 10K is better. PIC16F devices with only VDD first ICSP entry (PIC16F8x/87x/7x/7x7) should be fitted with a 4K7 resistor as a minimum to reduce the possibility of code running before VPP rises. Supervisory circuits or push buttons on MCLR should be isolated from the VPP voltage, by placing them on the VDD side of the resistor or by fitting a Schottky diode on this line as per note 1. The 100nF capacitor shown on MCLR/VPP pin is optional for HVP but we do recommend that a capacitor is fitted to avoid glitches on MCLR. 100nF is the maximum value, and we recommend something smaller. Larger capacitors may prevent the PIC from entering HVP mode. Do not fit for LVP mode. If possible, Clock and Data lines should be dedicated to ICSP but where this is not possible, the...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
