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 about 2 years ago by Member #269621 verified purchaser 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. START SOMETHING.
