We also use the serial-> usb adapters in linux. On my amd64 box I don't have a serial or parallel connector > microchip shows a 5 pin ICSP adapter in there documentation > http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/30277d.pdf > > However there PICKIT 2 & PICKIT 3 programmers uses 6 pins! I have ICSP on all of my breadboards for programming with my PICkit2. You are correct the that the PICkit2 uses a 6 pin connector but, if you looked at the PICkit2 manual, you would see that pin 6 does not have a connection.
