INTRODUCTION
CONNECTING THE PICkit 2 UART TOOL
The PICkit 2 Programmer application versions 2.40 and later include the UART Tool
feature. This feature allows PICkit 2 to be used as a serial UART terminal interface for
communicating with a PIC microcontroller. Potential uses include:
• Displaying debug text output from the microcontroller
• Logging microcontroller data to a text file
• Developing and debugging a microcontroller UART interface
• Interfacing with and sending commands to the microcontroller during
The tool supports full duplex asynchronous serial communications from 150 to 38400
baud, including custom non-standard baud rates. The PICkit 2 connects via the ICSP
connector directly to microcontroller TX and RX pins at logic levels. No transceiver is
needed.
The PICkit 2 connects to the target serial port target as shown in Figure 7-1. The
PICkit 2 TX signal (out) should connect to the target RX signal (in), and the PICkit 2 RX
signal (in) should connect to the target TX signal (out).
When being used with the UART Tool, the PICkit 2 may not be able to supply V
age to the target depending on the application version. See the version Release Notes
in the PICkit 2 Readme file. However, even when PICkit 2 is not supplying the target
V
able to communicate.
The PICkit 2 UART Tool will work with target V
