can anyone provide a schematic and a pcb diagram for pic 16f877a that has a lcd, serial port , pinouts for all ports, icsp of pickit2 and power supply?
 

Hi,

It should not be that hard to design your own board with those features - have you tried ?

The Pickit2 User Manual shows whats needed for ICSP.

If you post your circuit diagram and we can check it for you before you etch it.

You might find it might be simpler just to hand wire a board as dev boards by their nature tend to be modified as your experiences grow.
 
There are a number of Microchip development board schematics available:

Here's the PICDEM 2 Plus schematic and BOM, you'll have to use PCB design and routing software for you board:

The PICDEM 2 Plus board demonstrates the capabilities of Microchip’s 8-bit microcontrollers, specifically, 18-, 28- and 40-pin PIC16FXXX, PIC16F1XXX, and PIC18 devices.

PICDEM 2 Plus boards are well documented and supported, I have a couple myself.

thanx for your reply, i tried hand wiring the board but the thing grew conjusted, then tried making schematics but got errors, hence i was looking to find a development board just like that of easypic4 of mikroelectronika but a little less features.
i found a ready made schematic of this picdem-2 board in my proteus ARES ample schematic , but was looking for more accurate board,, here i have attached the schematics.i'll further try and make my own schematic then will upload it so that you can check it

once again thanx a tonne...

What do you mean by "accurate," a more detailed schematic?

While those feature packed boards of MikroE are nice for beginners, they can be frustrating when you are developing new designs and deal with conflicts created by all those features prewired to the MCU. If you do build a board like the EasyPIC or BigPIC, make sure you can decouple the features with jumpers.

accurate not feature wise , but the board should have the compatibility to mikroC programmes as well, so that you can use the inbuilt functions directly without much change, althogh picdem2 is a verynice board, it needs more user friendly design, as you can compare with easy pic.I do agree that it quite becomes frustrating when we try complex programmes with easy pic, but then i suppose there must an effective midway between the two...
 


The MikroE's schematics for their boards are available, although in "user friendly" form. You could start with an EasyPIC design and simplify it by migrating certain features from on board to modules, much like Microchip's PICtail or Digilent's PMODs. This would allow you design modules in the future that would fit you needs.

The module concept is one reason I prefer both Microchip and Digilent development boards.

MikroElektronika - EasyPIC6 Development System - PIC Development Board

just for example.

You can download the manual for the board and there is a complete circuit diagram.
