Little bit oldish video, but I want to say big thanks, this saved me from lots of frustration with programming 12f629. First, I needed to get one of these janky clones, because there is apparently a bug with T48 programmers/software and 12f629 and it isn't possible to program it currently on those. I also tried with one old RS232 JTAG programmer, but that also failed. So project was on hold when I waited one of these clones and adapters to arrive and today I got one. I got the same type of voltage errors, but thanks to you it was a breeze to solve!
I had ordered the same programming adapter with Textool socket in 2023. Today I conneted with my ORIGINAL PicKit3 (Microchip) and found same problems: It is neccessary to reduce voltage to 4.75 . Nobody knows why, but this helps. See video minute 9:00 ff By the way: My uC is type PIC16F1827 , I used MPLAB X IPE v5.30. Thank you!
Thank you! Was wracking my brains trying to figure out why my programmer wouldn't recognize my PIC12F1840. Didn't know I had to tick a box in the software to make the programmer provide power to the chip. Looks like the latest version of the Microchip IPE actually buries this setting under "Advanced Mode," as well.
Great video. Looking on the back of the ZIF board, my assumption was that the chip would go where it was shown, ie before the white line. Tried that and it got red hot. Now thanks to watching your video it works :)
thanks no one explains about the jumpers, just you, thank u very much, because some pics were impossible to program when I tried, because I didn't change the jumpers into the correct place. Now problem resolved.
Much appreciated !!! You saved me a lot of time. I was seeing 'Target not detected' and had not thought of the fact that 5v needs to be supplied from programmer.
Hello. I thank you so much for this video! It was so helpful for me! Otherwise I wouldn‘t have programmed my 12F629..! I am so happy now. Wish you all the best. Regards, Boris. 🇨🇭
you are the man! I stumbled with changing my program from internal 4MHz internal oscillator to external 16MHz crystal which resulted in Pickit3 (clone) malfunction, your advises helped me continue working without trying to harness my K150 programmer (which is not near my vicinity at the moment)
I'm building the icicle project too! I have the same crap Chinese programmer but following your excellent video, I have managed to program the chip. It still shows a verify error. I'm hoping that's just wrong too. Just to make matters worse, I have bought the 12F629 chips from China too. You have a new subscriber anyway. :-)
Hartstikke bedankt voor deze video. Ik had echt geen idee wat ik met deze foutmeldingen moest, en ik wist niet eens dat er een 'Power' tab was ('Advanced mode' stond uit, Linux versie). Nu werkt 'ie goed :)
Great video, thanks. I just ordered both a PICkit3 clone and the same adapter but after doing so I wondered how these things would all wire up. This video definitely helped with that. Just a thought: if your PIC needs 3.3V instead of 5V directly powering it from the USB cable wouldn't be a wonderful idea. Another thought: what if the PIC is powered separately from the PICkit by means of a separate power supply? That would leave 3 wires going from the PICkit to the microcontroller and the VCC/GND to the power supply.
Hello, how would you set the configuration bits for a pic16f87A microcontroller, - XT, WDT on?, if I have my own resonator at 20mhz. Not sure how to set the headers for my hardware, or if it's even necessary with standalone pic on a breadboard.
Hallo Bas Ich habe Mal eine Frage. Ich muss ein Pic 12f629 gebrannt haben. Die Hex Datei für den Pic habe ich. Würdest du das gegen Aufpreis machen. Vielen Dank
This is great, but in the case of a DIP 20 chip, how do you put it in the Adapter? It's says DIP 18 and 20 go in the same place, but there are only 9 rows of pins where it says it wants me to put a 10 row device. Are you supposed to fit the 1st and 20th pin on the white line with pin 30 and 11 then? (I've tried that and MPLAB doesn't like it, and the device gets really hot). Let me know what you think.
how would i program a PIC18F2450 with a ebay/amazon (SCM / 24/93 Series EEPROM Memory Chips USB PIC Programmer SP200SE/SP200S Enhanced Version) which software do you suggest?
Having issues getting a pic16f628a to be recognized, even after applying voltage. Have 2 blank chips, both dont show. Have it on in the dip18 slot . No go :(
I have a question, i have a 8-pin DIP microcontroller but i don't know the number because it was scratched off. I need to identify the number so i can Buy some and copy the program it has into the new ones. How can Ai do that?
Easy to arrange? It has 16 running light programs & a push button for switching programs but I only need 1 program & when holding down the button, all 3 lights will light suddenly when you release the button it will return to running light again. Can you delete the unnecessary programs?
I tried wiring straight from the USB cable to the adapter board as you recommended (red wire to VCC, black wire to GND) but the pic just overheats. MPLAB is sending the correct voltage for the chip. Bit confused.
Mplab ipe software how download? Sir, I download but not show this type power selection in? Advance mode setting open , give powered, now which powered use in? Please sir same guide me
disculpa, como se realiza la conexión con el pic 18f4550 con el adaptador universal? no puedo que el pic kit 3 lo reconosca, necesito por favor tu ayuda. sorry, how is the connection with the pic 18f4550 with the universal adapter? I can not that the pic kit 3 recognizes it, I need your help please.
I'm trying to connect it to Mac using a Windows emulator, but it says pickit 3 not found, instead I downloaded a program operation on pickit using this program
Great video, thanks! Will order PIckit3 clone very soon... I wonder if a seller can know "is his item possible to provide all volts from USB or not"? :) Is it fine to power a PIC from a breadboard with L7805 and a 9v battery? I have two of them (rechargable).
Dear sir, i have to copy a PIC12F615s using a DIL8 to DIP8 adapter as i don't want to mess anything with the soldering iron ... do you think that adapter would do the job ? can you tell me where on ebay (or amazon) can i buy it? i just found models compatibile only for PIC16
These things are hard to find on eBay or Amazon. Maybe you can just buy a normal 8-pin DIP IC-socket and use some wires and header pins to create the adapter yourself?
i found the DIL to DIP adapter look at this beauty www.ebay.it/itm/261935248244?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT the question is will it work with the chinese ICSP adapter you are using with the pickit3?
Hi Sir, I bought a Universal Adapter but I'm having some issues with it. I'm using a PIC18F4550, I followed all steps here but still it is a mess. By the way I used IPE with Pickit 3 original. Can you make a video for other PIC devices please? Thanks for this video! :D
sorry sir, can you give your email? i have many question about how to program PIC 12F629, i follow your step but in my MPLeb IPE always say my connection is problome!
I just plugged the adapter straight into the Pickit3 and it worked a treat. . programming an dsPIC33fj128gp802. Thanks for the video.

Thanks you for this video. I'm new to programming pics and following this video has allowed me to program my first 10 PICs
fantastic video, you saved me lots of headaches in trying to use cheapo Pickit3. Thanks
you are the man! I stumbled with changing my program from internal 4MHz internal oscillator to external 16MHz crystal which resulted in Pickit3 (clone) malfunction, your advises helped me continue working without trying to harness my K150 programmer (which is not near my vicinity at the moment)
Thanks for the video my friend, you saved me the hassle of trying to figure this device out.
Filled in many questions I had.. thanks 😃👍

finally got it to work! thanks for the tutorial.
Hartstikke bedankt voor deze video. Ik had echt geen idee wat ik met deze foutmeldingen moest, en ik wist niet eens dat er een 'Power' tab was ('Advanced mode' stond uit, Linux versie).
Nu werkt 'ie goed :)
Thank you so much! Had no idea about the power setting
You just made my day! Excellend video.
Thank you for this video. You saved me a lot of problems and troubleshootings. :)
Thank you so much for sharing this information!
я наконец понял что делать с этими J1 J2 J3 - спасибо тебе добрый человек!!!
i ordered both adapters looking forward to test them ☺ i'll let you know
Thanks!

How to verify clone vs auth PICKIT 3 ? Bought a 2nd one.
Although the Socket wasn't necessary if anyone got breadboard, but seem like it's more convenient when programming PICs in mass...
This was helpful, thank you.
Hello, how would you set the configuration bits for a pic16f87A microcontroller, - XT, WDT on?, if I have my own resonator at 20mhz. Not sure how to set the headers for my hardware, or if it's even necessary with standalone pic on a breadboard.
A grey background would make it easier to see. the reflection is making it hard to see against the dark background
Thank you, it helped me a lot!
Great video! I believe the English word you're trying to use is acetone. Acetone is used to chemically "weld" abs plastic together.
Yes, but I used Butanone (Methyl Ethyl Ketone), which also does the job fine. :)
Acetone is the common name for propanone (dimethyl ketone). Butanone (methyl ethyl ketone) is usually sold as MEK. You can use either.
Hallo Bas
Ich habe Mal eine Frage.

thank you ive been pulling my hair out.. i never had power from tool selected
Having issues getting a pic16f628a to be recognized, even after applying voltage. Have 2 blank chips, both dont show. Have it on in the dip18 slot . No go :(
That was really helpful! Thanks a lot!
well explained ... just in case 5v not working
thanks
Thanks a lot for this nice video, BTW is there any link to find a schematic of the adapter with jumpers settings ?
Good job, many thanks.
It helped me a lot thanks man :)
I have a question, i have a 8-pin DIP microcontroller but i don't know the number because it was scratched off. I need to identify the number so i can Buy some and copy the program it has into the new ones. How can Ai do that?
I am not sure if that is possible. Check this: www.microchip.com/forums/m837452.aspx
THANK YOU! Very helpful!
which programming language you prefer for PIC microcontrollers ??
thank you so much sir your N° 1
Easy to arrange? It has 16 running light programs & a push button for switching programs but I only need 1 program & when holding down the button, all 3 lights will light suddenly when you release the button it will return to running light again. Can you delete the unnecessary programs?
Is it not OK to plug in the universal adapter directly to the pickit 3?
does it support sop 8 pin chip... mxic MX25L6406E??
I tried wiring straight from the USB cable to the adapter board as you recommended (red wire to VCC, black wire to GND) but the pic just overheats. MPLAB is sending the correct voltage for the chip. Bit confused.
Hi, I could not understand the position of the jumpers, could you help me with this? Thank you
Thank you my friend.. good info
Mplab ipe software how download?
Sir, I download but not show this type power selection in?
Advance mode setting open , give powered, now which powered use in?
Please sir same guide me
thanks man it was very usefull
It worked thanks!
disculpa, como se realiza la conexión con el pic 18f4550 con el adaptador universal? no puedo que el pic kit 3 lo reconosca, necesito por favor tu ayuda.
sorry, how is the connection with the pic 18f4550 with the universal adapter? I can not that the pic kit 3 recognizes it, I need your help please.
I don't need green PIC adapter? Cables directly to red box from 8 pin chip holder?
I'm trying to connect it to Mac using a Windows emulator, but it says pickit 3 not found, instead I downloaded a program operation on pickit using this program
Great video, thanks! Will order PIckit3 clone very soon... I wonder if a seller can know "is his item possible to provide all volts from USB or not"? :) Is it fine to power a PIC from a breadboard with L7805 and a 9v battery? I have two of them (rechargable).
Can you give us the exact names of the parts you used?

the question is will it work with the chinese ICSP adapter you are using with the pickit3?
Why would you want to do that? You can just fit the IC in the adapter I use.
Bas van der Sluis because my ic is a smd i believe your adapter only works with dip ic
Ah so. I'm very curious about your way of programming the SMD IC. Please let me know if you succeed. Good luck!
Thank,
very useful and helpful, i use PICKIT3 chines too,
work 4.8V and "Power Target Circuit from Tool" ceklist

i think what you where talking about is called acetone
с PIC kit 3.5 какая программа корректно работает ? . . .
THANKYOU
😄 helpful
How led running programming
My MPLAB software says no DFP and needs “packs” pack manager .. the clues are clueless..
Sir what is different between ipe and mplab x ide?
I had to look it up myself, but the IPE seems to be the tool flashing software onto the IC's and the X IDE is for coding software for the IC's.
Can i program Atmel 24C64AN with pickit3?
This guy did it with a pickit2: hackaday.io/project/7061-microchips-pickit-2-as-an-atmel-stk500-programmer
Thanks a lot.
dankje wel jongu
Thanks for sharing this info. You saved me a lot of time waste and hunger.
Very very useful. I just wish that your English is a bit better no offense .. (Position vs. Location ... etc)
sorry sir, can you give your email? i have many question about how to program PIC 12F629, i follow your step but in my MPLeb IPE always say my connection is problome!
Can you post the exact error message the program is giving you?
