What is PIC-MCP?
PIC-MCP is MPLAB® compatible programmer for
PICmicro
development programmer that enables you to program
user software into PICmicro microcontroller devices
(DIP
replacement for Microchip PicStart+® programmer, it
programs faster than PicStart+® and have ICSP
connector for in-circuit programming of PICmicro
microcontrollers.
Note: PIC-MCP Programmer is designed for use in
firmware development and is not intended for
production use.
What PIC-MCP package contains?
The PIC-MCP package contain completely assembled
and tested board with RS232 port, ZIF socket and
ICSP connector + ICSP cable which is compatible
with all Olimex’s PIC-Pxx prototype boards.
The package doesn’t include RS232 cable and power
supply adapter 18VDC.
The latest MPLAB software can be free download
from Microchip’s web site http://www.microchip.com.
What PIC-MCP does?
The PIC-MCP development programmer has the
following features: blank check, read, program, verify
PICmicro microcontrollers.
How to install PIC-MCP?
To work with PIC-MCP you have to attach the RS232
cable and to apply power supply.

cost
The RS232 cable should be with 9-pin D type
connector. The cable should have all necessary signals
as GND, Rx, Tx, CTS, RTS. This cable is NOT a null
modem cable.
The power supply adapter should be 18VDC
>=100mA on the center positive 2.5 mm terminal.
When the power supply is applied the Green LED
PWR will switch ON.
WARNING: DO NOT connect power with a device
in the socket. Damage to the device may result.
How to use PIC-MCP ICSP programming?
The in-circuit programming connector is very useful
when you have to program PICmicro installed on
circuit boards or PICmicro in SMD packages, which
can’t be programmed with ZIF socket.
To enable ICSP programming the JP jumper should be
shorted with the cap. Please note that when JP is
shorted the PICmicro in ZIF socket is not programmed
and only the ICSP connector is enabled!
ICD/ICSP connector layout:
The ICD/ICSP connector is 6 pin with 0,1" step. The
PIN.1 is marked with square pad on bottom and arrow
on top. ICSP signals are: 1- MCLR, 2- VDD, 3-
VSS/GND, 4- PGD/RB7, 5- PGC/RB6, 6- PGM/RB3.
How to use PIC-MCP with MPLAB?
Please read the detailed instructions in MPLAB
help file
What devices PIC-MCP programs?
PIC-MCP
microcontrollers except PIC17XXX series.
PIC-MCP will program all devices which are
supported by the latest release of MPLAB.
Olimex will publish firmware upgrade after each
new MPLAB release.
