Is this normal? (ICD2 Clone)

[zanor]

Just finished making a ICD2 Clone (PiCs version). Got it connected and mplab has dowloaded the operating system.

On connect I get this message:

Connecting to MPLAB ICD 2
...Connected
Setting Vdd source to target
ICDWarn0020: Invalid target device id (expected=0x21, read=0x0)
...Reading ICD Product ID
Running ICD Self Test
... Failed Self Test.  See ICD2 Settings (status tab) for details.
MPLAB ICD 2 Ready

Is this because it is not connected to anything? or is something wrong?

And could anyone point me to any documentation on how to use ICD2 to debug and program

This is a problem with Vpp(MCLR) from ICD2. Check it.

Hi zanor. Yes you have to connect target device to yours clone but that isn't only problem that you have. When icd2 connects with pc you should go to programmer/settings/status tab to see which voltage is wrong. Than you will know where is the problem with your hardware. All necessary information about using of icd2 you will find on microchips site under development tools/icd2 section. There is several pdf-s about that.
