Hi guys i am gonna explain a little features....The SPECS..

1. This device will work like the normal pickit2 with out some extra
features

2. This wll work for any pic (5 and 3.3V devices)

3. This U can make to even smaller (1/4 th of the original) with smd
components

4. No mosfets no complex, only one voltage boost circuit.

5. defects are that you should give an external supply for the PIC (in
ICSP every time u wll be having the supply with u right ??)(If u r
going to do one project, definitelyyou will be having the supply with
U.....)NTHING else to take care go and build it and enjoy... (dont
forget to download the firmware from microchip)
