The PICkit 2 is an older version of the PICkit™ 3 and does not support newer devices. For new device support and additional features, please see the PICkit 3.
This item is not available for the academic discount.
The PICkit 2 and PICkit 3 are not production programmers.
PICkit 2 Debug Express allows in-circuit debugging on selected PICmicro microcontroller units (MCUs). In-circuit debugging allows the designer to run, examine, and modify the program while the PICmicro MCU is embedded in the hardware, thereby assisting the designer in debugging the firmware and hardware together. Debug Express interacts with MPLAB IDE software. Programs can be run, stopped, and single-stepped. One breakpoint can be set and the processor can be reset. Register contents can be examined and modified when the processor is stopped. Debug Express requires MPLAB IDE version 7.40 or later.
