LCD and ICSP Cable

[Gilles]

Hello,

Can anabody tell me how I must connect the LCD. On mine PCB I have 16 inputs and at the LCD 14 inputs how do I connect this?

I want to program mine PIC18F2550 do I need the ICSP cable or can I do this with the isp cable also. If I need the ICSP cable does Anyone have a schematic or something so I can make this?

connect pins 1-14, as 15-16 are backlight which I think your LCD doesn't have

Look at your LCD datasheet and compare with the LCD connector pinouts.

I want to program mine PIC18F2550 do I need the ICSP cable or can I do this with the isp cable also.

You need an ISCP cable for the PIC18F2550. This is not the same as the Atmega.

Oke thank you for the information so far. I have one more question about the ICSP cable. Is the DB socket a female or a mail connector?

For DB9 socket, you need a female connector.
For DB25 socket, you need a male connector.
