How do I copy a microcontroller program?

The chip cloning process is not too difficult. The idea of cloning or copying a microcontroller chip is to extract out the machine code from the original microcontroller and write the same codes to a new microcontroller chip. The machine code is also sometimes known as the hex code.

What is a PICkit3?

How do I burn MikroC code with PICkit3?

First of all, create your program in MikroC which you want to burn via PICkit3. Now when you are done, go to Project > Build and build your program. When you click on Build, the MikroC will create a hex file of your program which will be in the same folder in which you have saved your program.

Can I program a chip?

Most microcontrollers require a programmer. This is a little thing you plug into the USB port that makes it possible to program the chip. What programmer you need depends on what chip you have. Some chips can be programmed directly through the USB port without any programmer.

How to install a programmer in PICkit 2?

Follow the directions on the screen for installing the PICkit 2 Programmer application. If the introductory screen does not appear, browse to the CD-ROM directory and open the PICkit_Starter_Kit_Welcome.htm file. Once installed, start the PICkit 2 Programmer application by selecting. Start>Programs>Microchip>PICkit 2.

Why does the PICkit2 programmer target LED Glow?

When we select the option PICkit 2 from Programmer, in PICKIT2 Programmer target LED will glow. If the PICKIT2 Programmer didn’t connect automatically when it was selected as a Programmer tool, select Programmer > Connect to connect now. The connection status will be visible in the output window.

How does PICkit 2 work with microchip IDE?

With Microchip’s powerful MPLAB IDE (Integrated Development Environment), the PICkit 2 enables in-circuit debugging on most PIC microcontrollers. In-Circuit-Debugging runs and halts the program on break points while the PIC microcontroller is embedded in the application.

How much memory can I use with PICkit2?

Using pickit2, we can use about 95% of the controller memory. If we use boot-loader to program, then we will have to reserve separate memory just to fuse boot-loader. Both RJ11 connector and ICSP 6PIN Connector for programming.
