ePIC-KIT 2

Hardware Manual Rev 1r0

A clone of the immensely popular Microchip PicKit2 hardware development kit. It is programmer and debugger rolled into one. Supports incircuit programming and debugging of almost any PIC16F and PIC18F
microcontroller variants. Connects to a PC via USB a port where power
to the circuits is also drawn from, eliminating the need for an external
power source.

FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS

Powered by PIC16F2550 Flash USB Micro controllers with nano wa! technology.
51W x 66.8H mm Dimension
6 pin SIP Female Header Programming/Debuging
port.
5.0V Power Input

MAJOR COMPONENTS PRESENTATION

Figure 1. ePIC-KIT2 Major Components Illustra!on.

Programming Connector (Users Device)
- Port where you can connect the device that you want to program or debug.
Programming Connector (On-Board PIC16F2550)
- Port where you can Program/debug the onboard PIC16F2550.
USB Connector
- The USB Port Connec"on is a USB type-B connector. Connect the ePIC-KIT2 Microcontroller Programmer to the PC using the supplied USB cable.
Busy
- Indicates that the programmer is busy with its func"on like programming and erasing programs.
Target
- Indicate that the ePIC-KIT2 Microcontroller Programmer is powering the target
device.
Power Indicator
- Indicate that the power is applied via USB port(5V).
On-the-go Bu!on (Currently Disabled)
- It may be used to ini"ate the Write Device programming func"on when
Programmer>Write on PICkit Bu!on is checked on the PICkit 2 Programmer applica"on menu, It may also be used to put the PICkit 2 unit opera"ng system firmware
into Bootloader mode.
On-the-go func"on parts slot
- Here where you can put the required parts to enable the on-the-go bu!on func"on.
