Why would the ICSP need a reset switch? The one in the Tutorial does
not have a connection on pin2 while the Microchip schematic I attached
does. It seemed to me that a missing Vdd connection might interest you.
Your right, ICSP does not need a reset switch, but it is nice to have
a push button to reset your PIC.
I think the VDD connection is needed only if you are not supplying
power to your PIC via another source. This ICSP VDD supply's power to
the PIC during programming. In my tutorial, I tell the user to keep
there own 5v power supply on while programming via ICSP.
I don't think it is a good idea to connect ICSP VDD to the 5V power
supply, unless you always switch off your power supply before
programming. Am I correct?
Well I do it both ways and have not had a problem. ie with and without
my breadboard power on. I do not recall reading anything in the PicKit2
manual about it. I will check and get back to you though.
I can update my tutorial to reflect the same connector as PIC KIT 2
