The PICkit 3 allows debugging and programming of PIC, PIC16, PIC32 and dsPIC microcontrollers using the powerful MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE). We only sell and recommend offical programmers from Microchip. Full documentation and setup Wizard included in the PICkit 2 Programmer application. Description The PICKit 3 is Microchips latest programmer / debugger for their range of Microchip microcontrollers. With a portable USB power source, PICkit 2 will program the downloaded code into a PIC Microcontroller, without using a PC.
The connector uses two device I/O pins and the reset line to implement in-circuit debugging and In-Circuit Serial Programming. Expensive sockets or adapters are also not. In-circuit debugging offers benefits including low cost and a minimum of additional hardware needed for debug. The MPLAB PICkit 3 is connected to a PC using a full speed USB interface and can be connected to the target via an Microchip debug (RJ-11) connector (compatible with MPLAB ICD 2/ 3 and MPLAB REAL ICE). Microchip’s PICkit 3 in-circuit debugger/programmer uses in-circuit debugging logic incorporated into each chip with Flash memory to provide a low-cost hardware debugger and programmer.
