Does anyone know if it is possible to modify the PICkit2 firmware so that it runs on GTP+ hardware? It's the same chip, just a different pinout so I guess it should be doable?
I think your programmer needs new firmware chip. That may solve the problem. The GTP usb Plus firware may not available as you need to pay for that. But long back i had seen a PicKit2 firmware which was supposed to work on GTP USB+ hardware. But sorry, I couldn't find it now in my database. I do agree with "Blueroom". Instead you can go for PiCKit2 (JunebuG) available on his website.
I found information about modification in this link Pic section: **broken link removed** but gtp usb plus hardware with this firmware don't work properly. Windows will detect it like unknown device. It seems that firmware is with bugs, but I don't know how to repair it. Can anyone help to solve this problem?
You may try Pickit2 clones which are widely accepted and gives satisfactory results with USB interface, and firmware available in Mplab, one can make his own Clone
with the schematics which can be downloaded from this location
There is a problem with gtp_usb #0, that I cannot solve it;
when I try to program a chip, the winpic800[all versions] shows this error massage! "failed to open ind.#0" .[even programmer not install on system]
