PICKIT2

OVERVIEW
PICKIT2

The PICkit 2 Development Programmer/Debugger is a low-cost development programmer.
It is capable of programming most of Microchip.s Flash microcontrollers and serial
EEPROM devices.

The PICkit 2 Development Programmer/Debugger kit contains the following items:

1. The PICkit 2 Development Programmer/Debugger
2. USB cable
3. PICkit Starter Kit and MPLAB IDE 

PICKIT2 USER’S GUIDE

USB Port Connection

The USB port connection is a USB mini-B connector. Connect the PICkit 2 to the PC using

the supplied USB cable.

Status LEDs

The Status LEDs indicate the status of the PICkit 2.

1. Power (green) . Power is applied to the PICkit 2 via the USB port.
2. Target (yellow) . The PICkit 2 is powering the target device.
3. Busy (red) . The PICkit 2 is busy with a function in progress, such asprogramming

INSTALLATION OF PICKIT2

1. Download the pickkit2 software.
2. Run the setup.exe file 

• Click on next

• Click on next ->Exit

Check communication 

Check Communication . Verifies USB communication with the PICkit 2 and ICSP

communication with a target device by attempting to identify the connected device

by its device ID.

Setting the VDD

• This will automatically set VDD when external supply is given .
• If there is no external supply

Calibrate VDD & Set Unit ID . Opens a wizard that steps the user through calibrating

the PICkit 2 VDD supplied voltage so it is more accurate, and optionally

assigning a Unit ID to identify between multiple PICkit 2 devices

After setting the VDD

Load the hex file

• Click on open

• Click on Write

To erase the memory

Click on erase

The Blank Check function will read the entire device to determine if Program Memory,

EEPROM Data memory, User IDs and Configuration bits are erased.

ICSP(In Circuit Serial Programming)

Pin 1: Ground

Pin 2: VCC

Pin  3: MCLR

Pin 4:PGC

Pin 5:PGD

NOTE:Connect Red strip  to PGD

ICSP is a technique where programmable device is programmed after device is placed in the circuit board

PCF8591 A/D D/A CONVERTER MODULE

OVERVIEW

PCF8591 A/D D/A CONVERTER MODULE

The PCF8591 is a monolithically integrated, and a separate power supply, low-power, 8-bit CMOS data acquisition devices. The PCF8591 has the four analog inputs, one analog output and a serial I2C bus interface. PCF8591 three address pins A0, A1 and A2 can be used in hardware address programmed 8 PCF8591 device allows access to the same I2C bus, without the need for additional hardware. On the PCF8591 device input and output of the address, control and data signals are transmitted in serial fashion via the two-wire bidirectional I2C bus.

FEATURES

• A module chip using PCF8951
• Single-Supply Operation
• PCF8591 operating voltage range of 2.5V to 6V
• Low standby current through the I2C bus serial input / output
• PCF8591 by 3 hardware address pins addressing
• Sampling rate PCF8591 I2C bus rate decided
• 4 analog inputs programmable as single-ended or differential inputs
• Automatic incremental channel selection
• PCF8591 analog voltage range from VSS to VDD
• PCF8591 built-in track and hold circuit
• 8-bit successive approximation A / D converter through an analog output DAC gain.
• module supports external voltage input capture (input voltage range 0-5v)
• The five-module integrated 1 channel 0-5V voltage input acquisition (blue potentiometer to adjust the input voltage).
• High quality PCB FR4 Grade with FPT Certified.
