Title: PIC Kit 4 cable for S17 Pro
Post by: NoKeyboard-BTW on July 31, 2021, 04:35:48 PM
Hi guys, I am circling back on fixing a board with a bad PIC chip. I will be replacing the chip but have no idea what cable will hook into the PIC kit module and the hash boards to be able to extract from one of my good boards then copy that onto this new chip I'll be putting on. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thank You!

Thanks thierry, Your post was actually the first post I looked at before posting my question here. There looks to be a six PIN cable that plugs into the bottom of the PIC KIT module - then into the board. I couldn't find a mention of it in your thread. Maybe I am overlooking how to connect the PIC Kit to the S17?

The Picture one is pretty clear of that.
Those where the standard cables used for example on arduino boards.

I see where to plug the male pins into the board. There are 5 circular holes and 1 square hole near the circular capacitors on the S17. The link to the cables is super helpful. Thank you.
