BASIC Stamp 2 Programmer

[Solderbox]

Hello all,

I have been having a lot of fun with the BASIC Stamp 2 I bought. I would like to know if any one could shed some light on how I could make this development board become a programmer for my other PIC micro controllers. To be clear I will re-phrase. I want to program my other PIC micro controllers using the BASIC Stamp 2 development board. Can anyone help?

Hi

Since parallax customized the PIC MCU's. so you can't use it as a programmer. However lucking at the schematic of BS2, you can see that internal connecting method

However you can use this link to prepare your own serial programmer

I appreciate your response. Could you please elaborate on how Parallax customized the board's micro controller to not function as a programmer? Ideally I would like to program my PIC 16F886 to serve as a universal programmer of for my other various PIC micro controllers with USB instead of the serial connection. Any help is much appreciated.
