The MPLAB PICkit 3 is connected to the design engineer\\\'s 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, MPLAB ICD 3 and MPLAB REAL ICE). The MPLAB PICkit 3 allows debugging and programming of PIC® and dsPIC® Flash microcontrollers at a most affordable price point using the powerful graphical user interface of the MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Program up to 512K byte flash with the Programmer-to-Go Read/write program and data memory of microcontrollerĮrase of program memory space with verification

Well after working with the Microchip 8-Bit Division Vice President.the response he got was a bit of a surprise from the Microchip Programmer Division.PICKIT3.5 Programmer + ICD2 Adapter Universal Login to Download: * Software Download Microchip would get the credit for work, a commercial arrangement would cover the support costs, Microchip would 'certificate sign' the PICKit Plus applications (as this is not cheap) and then the software would be released to you all as freeware.

Option One was to ask Microchip to take the development under the banner of Microchip. Then, we started the 'Go To Market' plan. We did not share too far as we had a 'Go To Market' plan. So, we tested and got folks to test even more - results were very good. We have updated, revised and added new protocols to support the Microchip 8 bit parts released since Microchip dropped support, and, very importantly support for the newer range of Microchip parts (hence the new protocols). PICKit Plus comes in three variants - a Windows GUI application for the PICKIT2 programmer, another Windows GUI application for the PICKIT3 programmer and a command line utility for both the PICKIT2 and PICKIT3 programmers. I recently posted about of a new version of the software for the PICKIT2 and PICKIT3 programmers - we call it PICKit Plus.
