Fabriquez votre Programmateur PIC USB MAISON (PICkit 2 DIY) avec des Composants de Récupération !

📝 Detailed Description with Chapters 🛠️ Build a professional PIC microcontroller programmer without breaking the bank! In this tutorial, discover how to build a USB-compatible PIC programmer capable of flashing a wide range of microcontrollers (40, 28, and 18 pins, including the PIC 16F877 and PIC 18F2550). Everything is built using salvaged tools and components. The video covers board assembly, communication testing with different PIC types, installing the PICkit 2 software, and provides a scaled schematic and PCB layout for easy reproduction. Don't throw away your old components: recycle them to create your own electronics lab! ⏱️ Video Chapters [00:00] Introduction: Homemade PIC Programmer with Recycled Components Presentation of the DIY programmer based on a PIC 18F2550. [00:22] Compatibility and Supported PIC Types (40, 28, 18 Pins) Demonstration of the correct pin placement and alignment for different microcontrollers (e.g., PIC 16F877). [01:07] Connecting and Powering On the Programmer (Via USB) Connecting the programmer to the PC and confirming power via the LED. [01:59] Installing the Control Software: PICkit 2 Step-by-step guide for extracting and installing the programming software.
