04 Mar 2009 10:43 which is better, pickit2 or pickit2clone

with the pickit2 you can program AND debug (trace) your programs. the gtp is only for programming.

also the gtp usb lite works only with winpic v3.55 - so there are quite no updates for new pics since a long time.

so for me pickit2 wins.

You can also have a look at Junebug from Blueroom Electronics is quite good and equivalent to Pickit2 which is a programmer cum debugger which also includes a tutor. You can download all the assembly instructions from thier site www.blueroomelectronics.com. Goodluck

The PICkit 2 may support more device and get more support from other users,
Here is a step by step tutorial on how to build one:

Of Course Pickit2, cause the support from Microchip, and aditional tools, and work with almost all operating system, and so many clones in the web..

Do you have components on the bottom side?
It seems not much components on your board.

Hai Funny..Yes ...it has 11 SMD resistors and One SMD Capacitors on the bottom side. It is the same schematic of the Junebug programmer side. I have not used the Tutor. Instead of mosfets i have used the transsitorised verision whose schematic is posted in this post of mine. "http://www.edaboard.com/viewtopic.php?t=339518&highlight="
