In this tutorial I am show you how to load a hex file in a pic microcontroller. In this project I am use PICKIT 2 Programmer loader. You can watch the video or read the written tutorial below.

 

PICKIT 2

The PICKIT 2 devlopment Programmer/Debugger is a devlopment tool with an easy to use interface for programming and debugging. Mircrochip's flash families of microcontrollers. The full featured Windows programming interface supports baseline (PIC10F, PIC12F5xx, PIC16F5xx), midrange( PIC16F6xx, PIC16F), PIC18F, PIC24, dsPIC30 and PIC32 families of 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit microcontrollers and many  Microchip Serial EEPROM products.
