Debugging made easier

PICkit 3 debug express kit debuts
Microchip announces higher performance for its most popular low-cost PICkit development platform. Connected to and powered by a PC USB port, the plug-and-play kit provides in-circuit debugging functions such as halt, single step, breakpoint on data or address, and a stopwatch for measuring target application performance. It can supply target power to the 44-pin demo board, so no external power is required.
The PICkit 3 Debug Express kit includes PICkit 3 debugger and programmer probe, 44-pin demo board populated with a PIC18F45K20 MCU, free MPLAB® IDE and a free version of the MPLAB C Compiler for PIC18 MCUs. The PICkit 3 debug express works with 8- and 16-bit PIC MCUs and dsPIC digital signal controllers (DSCs), and will support 32-bit PIC MCUs at a later date.
Additionally, with a 6-pin ICSP connector similar to that on the PICkit 2 debug express, the PICkit 3 probe is compatible with PICkit 2 demo kits and with Microchip’s MPLAB ICD 2- and 3-compatible demonstration/evaluation kits using an optional RJ-11 to ICSP adapter.
PICkit 3 Debug Express is available at distributor Rutronik.
