Thefickletinkerer ported the through hole design of MCU Hobby’s PICkit2 into a SMD venison. The PCB is just 5cmx5cm which means it comes within the $10/10pcs PCB service from Seeed Studio.
The heart of this programmer is no other than the PIC18F2550. I’ve kept the silkscreen to a minimum, only labelling the header pins and the indicator LEDs. The colors of the LEDs are green (POWER), yellow (TARGET), and red (BUSY). I really should have taken a photo with the LEDs on. The green isn’t true green, more of kelly-green, and the yellow seems to lean more towards orange.
Unfortunately the design files are currently on vacation, he has assured us he will look for them when he gets back
