I thought I had posted this a while ago ... but I don't see my post or any responses .. my attention span is really suffering lately!

I have an old ME labs U2 USB programmer (circa 2004) that I'm told *SHOULD* work with ICSP. My stepson had used it for a university engineering project ... that somehow I don't remember. He put the PIC chips into the ZIF socket to program them, then inserted them into his board so he did not use ICSP.

Here is a link to the support page microEngineering Labs, Inc. | 1-719-520-5323 | In Circuit Serial Programming with EPIC

My question is:
- Can I use the DC/DC converter and it's 24V supply to the controller board to power up the dsPIC30F2010 but use the rest of the signals from the programmer on the ICSP header?

I don't want to blow up 1 of the 2 prototypes with a dumb mistake!

If I need to buy a PICkit 3, it's not a big deal. Just a bit of delay.
