I receivemy Pickit 3 evaluation kit some days ago.
After open the UPS box, can I also inspect this kit.
It is composed by one Microchip Pickit3 programmer/Debugger, some PICs MCUs, one PIC18F46J50 USB Demo Board
and one supplementary 18F48K20 nanoWatt XLP Demo board.
3 CDs comes also with all software and documentation need to start "playing" with this kit.
First test, Open my allready installed MPLAB, open the Generic HID custom demo, compile an connect the Pickit3 to the PIC18F46J50 USB Demo Board.
Programming is very fast and I can test this board in less than 3 minutes.
Second test, trying to programm 18F48K20 nanoWatt XLP Demo board. Looking in CD for samples programms, (also found in a zip file),
I also found one tutorial for programming this board with Pickit3.
Reading, erasing and checking this board is Ok, but programming seems to be impossible. One question on the Microchip forum
and I got the solution : MPLAB v8.43 (the version I have allready installed isn't compatible with this board).
Download and install the last version. All running fine.
Actually, I read the "PICkit_3_lessons_UG41370c.pdf" and learn using the MCUs and PICKit3.
Lessons are very clear and progressive, programming and debugging are well explain.
I'm currently testing interrupt, so I'll have to update this review next time I progress.
