Astro: Oh those thin yellow lines are the helpful reminder by the program that I forgot to connect various points on the board that should be connected by copper. They are showing up because I had cleared the copper ground plane earlier before I took that screen shot, so all the points that were connected to ground were no longer connected to each other.
thingstodo: It looks like the 5 pins that are needed on the ISP connector are also on that programmer, I think. I'm a little confused by some of them though. I'm not sure if Vpp functions the same as the MCLR pin on the board. The pinout on the board ISP is:
PIN 1: MCLR
PIN 2: +5V
PIN 3: GROUND
PIN 4: PGD
PIN 5: PGC
PIN 6: UNUSED
So maybe if you just match all those, it should be fine? What I always do is, plug the USB end of the programmer into my computer, and then plug the other end into the board, and then turn on the +24v power to the board, which provides the +5v to the programmer. I'm sure that would be how your programmer would work too.
I'm not sure if mplab will recognize the programmer. You have to select it from a drop-down list. So you would have to probably program the hex file using a different program.
