SKILLS NEEDED
Core Skill: Programming
If a board needs code or communicates somehow, you're going to need to know how to program or interface with it. The programming skill is all about
communication and code.
Skill Level: Competent - The toolchain for programming is a bit more complex and will examples may not be explicitly provided for
you. You will be required to have a fundamental knowledge of programming and be required to provide your own code. You may need
to modify existing libraries or code to work with your specific hardware. Sensor and hardware interfaces will be SPI or I2C.

Works A-OK With My Mac
about 3 years ago by KJ6MSG verified purchaser
No issues using this with my 2012 MacBook Pro Retina and MPLAB X.
great for startup.
about 2 years ago by Member #715348 verified purchaser
used this for academia (PIC development). Installs easily and lots of documentation that you really only need to
reference as you employ it under more complex situations (so for startup – plug ‘n play). Haven’t used it as a
debugger yet. Only annoying thing is that I can’t put it in some sort of high-z/passive mode after programming,
so lots of times I have to remove it after burning application. Ie. program ICSP lines are mux’d with IO. I also like
the programmer tool and easy recognition/integration with Microchips IDE environment. I’m looking forward to
also using it as a debugger in the future.
Works Well

I have been programing PIC’s before install. I have been modifying my circuits with the PICkit so I can make
changes latter. Quite affordable for what it does.
