Purchasing A Programmer<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Microchip ICD4 (and ICD3) is a low cost Microchip in circuit programmer.  You can purchase this programmer from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FarnellInOne<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

RS Components<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the Microchip part number “DV164045” you need.  As well as in circuit programming the ICD4 is also a debugger, hence being called that in some product descriptions)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MPLAB software to use with the programmers is downloaded for free. See here<\/a> for details on how to use the programmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standard IBEX Programmer To PCB Header Cable<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Microchip ICD3 may be used to program PIC microcontrollers in circuit.  We typically use a low cost SIL header on PCB’s to allow in circuit programming which differs from the RJ11 cable supplied with the Microchip ICD3.  This guide details our standard connecting cable:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can either use the RJ12 cable supplied with the programmer or buy a RJ12 cable from RS Components: 446-664<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut off one end, leaving the programming cable as short as possible (100mm total length is recommended to avoid programming issues).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fit a blue MTA5 socket (or an alternative SIL5 connector that will accept thin cable cores) to the cut end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RJ12 Connector<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the locking tab down and the connector contacts away from you, the left pin is 1, the right pin is 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep the overall cable length short (<=100mm).
Mark pin 1 on the MTA5 connector in some way to make it obvious which way the cable connects to the PCB.  Our PCB’s are marked with a pair of white triangles pointing to pin 1.  When connecting to PCB headers which have 7 pins the 5 pin MTA may still be used in the same way with pin 1 connecting to pin 1 of the 7 pin header (pins 6 & 7 are not connected).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
