General Description

PICKIT3 Programmer starter kit is a low-cost development programmer which allows debugging and programming of PIC and dsPIC Flash micro-controllers. 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.

The PICkit3 allows debugging and programming of PIC and dsPIC Flash microcontrollers using the powerful graphical user interface of the MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
