Simple Two IC ICD2 Emulator

[William at MyBlueRoom]

I've put up a schematic Inchworm; on my site of my take on the many
fine designs of Microchip ICD2 emulators on the web. It's based mostly
on the excellent version by Lothar Stolz.

I've used the MAX232 as a voltage tripler to get the ~12.5v needed for
VPP and added handy busy & power LEDs.

You will need to program the bootloader "bl010101.hex" file located in
the ICD2
directory onto a 16F876 (or 877)
C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE\ICD2\BL010101.HEX

A simple programmer like the one with PonyProg
http://www.lancos.com/prog.html should do the job nicely.

enjoy

If you would put the names of ALL of the groups
in which you would like this to appear on the Groups line (the To:
line)
the 1st time you post it ("cross-post" it), it would be easier on you.
(e.g., You wouldn't have to go back to each group
to add the URL when you leave it out.) http://www.myblueroom.com

It would also link together the comments others make on the topic
so that everyone who reads your post
can easily see ALL the comments made about it.

Note to all: The direct link for this project would be to a PDF.
