is it possible to program a pic using another pic? using ICSP?
thanks
 

Yes, For example pickit2 clone was built around PIC18f2550

can you please elaborate it? basically i want to send firmware using bluetooth to a nearby pic (some one else is handling the communication with bluetooth, i'll receive the firmware using serial communication from bluetooth module), so this receiver pic in turn will program another pic with the firmware.
thanks
 

Hi,

You might also want to look at Bootloader programs.

Thats a little bit of code programmed into the Pic chip that then loads the main program code from a serial link from a PC and then executes the main code .

It might be possible to do the same using your BT serial connection - you would only need the one Pic chip then.

Just google ' Pic bootloaders'
 

thanks a lot... i have totally forgotten about it...
