Pickit 2 C# sources

[Vasi]

Anyone having Pickit2 PC software sources (the version 2 was written in C#) and willing to share them? You can't find them anymore on Microchip's site.
Thank you very much!

You can try this unless they've crypto obfuscated the code:

Anyone having Pickit2...

You mean Pickit3 right? You find the sources for that here:
http://www.microchip.com/pagehandler/en-us/devtools/dev-tools-parts.html

look for the "PICkit 3 Programmer App and Scripting Tool", sources are in an zip inside that file.

No, I mean exactly Pickit2 version 2.x, written in C#...
I have version 1.x sources written in Borland C++ 6 (compilable with the personal edition).

Never knew they were up for download.

The binaries are not obfuscated, so you can easily "pull it apart" with a program like ILSpy or something similar.
You get reasonable code. Comments are lost, as well as variable names of local stuff. Most other things is in there and up for grabs.

You could quite easily figure out how their USB thing works and write command-line USB scripts for/with the PICKIT 2/3 this way.

I have sources for version 2.40 in C#.
I will attempt to post it here; it is almost 4 MB compressed.
THis is a multi-part 7zip archive, and each part is individually compressed into a zip file for posting (7z is not allowed). Decompress the 4 parts, then open the .001 part with 7zip.

Parts 3 and 4 of the archive.
