How about Programmer to go.

go to workshop or where the microcontroler needs programing.
power the pickit2 via a usb port or battery pack with a usb connector.
press the button and your done.

plus use your pickit2 as a logic tool.
3 i/o plus 1 output Logic i/o or 3 chan Logic Analyzer
plus other things you can do with a pickit2.

Nice Pickit2 news from Pickit2, it was long time that i asked Microchip for the functionality of the two 24C512 eeprom in the schematic, and they said that they are for future developement. now it is the time to use them

Hi PicKit2

I'm looking for a stand alone programmer (for production line programming, without a PC)

Now I'm planning to buy the Pickit2 from Microchip, this feature is an original Microchip feature ? what I need to do to get this feature ? update the firmware ?

Sorry if my questions seems a fool questions... but I'm a newbee here and still now I can't see any link.

Thank you.

Use MPLAB PM3 programmer. This one can program device from SD card without PC. But price is high.
