Step 3: Ready for programming!
Now that you have soldered in the microcontroller you are ready to program it with the hex file.
(You can download this file from this page)
The PCB has 5 pads where you can connect your pickit programmer to. To do this you will need a five pin header. Plug this into the programmer and then you just need to 'touch' these pins to the pads on the circuit board.
(please note, I have the programmer around the wrong way in this photo! you need to flip the programmer around the other way!)
I am guessing that If you have your own programmer, that you have the pickit software installed on your computer.
So open up the pickit program and load the Merry_Christmas.HEX file. program it to the board and you're done! You now don't need to connect your programmer again, unless you want to reprogram it with your own code.
