PIC kit 3

The PICkit 3 is a powerful programmer and debugger for Microchip’s PIC and dsPIC microcontrollers, utilizing the MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE). It connects to a PC via a full-speed USB interface and interfaces with the target microcontroller through a Microchip debug (RJ-11) connector. This connector supports in-circuit debugging and In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP), providing comprehensive development and debugging capabilities. The device includes a miniUSB cable for easy connection.
