But, from my own experience(in my own developement board), it can't power the PiC in running mode. Wonder if it *IS* capable of doing that, or it's just for supplying power when programming.

I think that is enough. I just programmed a 18f4550 and used only the pickit, without external power source, from an usb port of my laptop… I think that is enough.

All four must be made." in "Tutorial Goal: Introduce and describe development setup" : I found that it also works only wired a Vdd(5V) and a Vss(GND),i use my multimeter to test the two Vdd and Vss pin,they are connected in chip, so i think that we can wired just one Vdd and one Vss.

I already have a PicKit and a looming 4550 project - *surely* just the PicKit is enough?

Do you know if this same setup works with the pic16f877a? i was looking at the datasheets and they are quiet similar. It seems like it could work.. but im a beginner with this stuff and maybe there's something i dont know. I have one question… Do you know if this same setup works with the pic16f877a?

When I started out, with stranded, it got to be rather cumbersome twisting the stranded ends all the time and then dealing with wires that wouldn't go into the breadboard hole. But then, I came across a spool of solid, multi-conductor telephone wire! Great for breadboarding! Plus there are many different colors. Are you using stranded or solid wire for your breadboarding?
