K150 programmer software3/10/2024 The K150 was designed as a DIY project stand-alone burner incorporating a 40way ZIF socket and in-circuit burn (ICSP) capability using the included cable. The disadvantage is that the ZIP socket has to be manually set for different PIC types (using DIL pin header links) as it's just a mechanical socket that connects to the ICSP cable (i.e has no 'on board' circuits to select the correct programming pins) The advantage of the PICkit3 is that it incorporates an 'in-circuit debugger' function and can be driven direct from Microchips software Clones of the PICkit3 plus the ZIP plug-in option can be found on eBay for a total of about £11 (China). For 'stand-alone' burning you had to pay extra for the add-on ZIF socket. Both are designed for 'in circuit' (ICSP) programming. ![]() The original Microchip 'burner' was the PICkit-2, the current version is the PICkit-3. ![]() However PC drivers 'emulate' a serial connection via USB, which can lead to some terminology confusion Using the PICkit ![]() PIC burning There was a time when PIC's were programmed via the PC's serial port, however these days all 'burners' connect using a USB link.
