FEATURES:
This
board is everything you need for getting started with the PIC microcontrollers
programming. It has on board power supply voltage regulator circuit, microcontroller's
reset circuit, crystal oscilator circuit, LED, EEPROM memory, RS232 serial
port interface, second RS232 port with build in programmer, so you can
programm your microcontroller without take off the board. additional
ICSP port which you can use to program PICs on other boards.

NOTE:
The programmer may not work with low power serial interfaces - i.e. laptop
or notebook serial ports. USB to serial cables have also not been proven
to work.

PIC-PG1,
PIC-PG2, PIC-PG4 use one and same principle of serial RS232 interface PIC
programming, so the tutorials for PIC-PG1, PIC-PG2 may be used. The software
setttings are explained at
http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/tutorial_info.php?tutorials_id=73
What
is important to know is that PIC-PG4 should not be powered by external
power supply when programming. There is slide switch PGM-RUN on the board.
To program the PIC move this switch to PGM powsition and disconnect power
supply, after the programming move switch to RUN position and apply power
supply.
