PIC-KIT3 IN CIRCUIT DEBUGGER

PIC-KIT3 LOW COST PROGRAMMER / DEBUGGER

INFO:

PIC-KIT3 is low cost programmer / debugger, with only 55 x 55 mm (2.16 x 2.16") dimensions and only 30gr weight (without ICSP cable and packing) this little device fits in your pocket and is very convenient to carry with you when you work in field. PIC-KIT3 is completely replacement of Microchip's original MPLAB-PICKIT3 and with it you can do everything you can do with the original MPLAB-PICKIT3.

SOFTWARE:

MPLAB-IDE - you can download the latest version from Microchip's web site.

Q: What USB cable I need?
A: You must have USB type A-B cable to connect to PC, all PC USB hosts have USB-A connector while PIC-KIT3 have USB-B connector so the cable should be USB A-to-B type.

Q: What should I know when connect PIC-KIT3 to target board.
A: It's very important your target PIC MCLR to not be connected directly to VCC! During the programming/debugging MCLR goes as high as 13VDC and if your target MCLR is connected directly to target VCC you will blow either PIC-KIT3 either your target board. Use always 10K pullup resistor from MCLR to VCC.
