ICD2 sorted (& plan B?)

Got it working last night by uninstalling MPLAB 8.6 and MPLAB X, then deleting the microchip folder. Installed 8.63 and X again, went through the driver installation and it connected!

So now I can mod my bit banging servo code for controlling an EDF.

But wait... thinking about it last night, there's no point doing all the low level stuff in the uC, that's just going to delay things even further. I need to use an external servo controller that I just talk to over serial comms. It takes a lot of overhead away from the main processor and makes servicing each task a lot simpler. Sound like a plan?
