Just use the parametric search on Microchips chip selector or if you are not sure come back and say what key features your chip must have. There is not two versions of the same chip ie one with debugger and one without, so rather than mess around with debugger header adapters and all the extra plugs and wires etc simply select a similar chip that does have debugger built in. Pk3 is a lot more expensive and still being developed and dos not offer the hobby user much advantage.Īs you have seen, the debug function is inbuilt to some chips but not all. You raise a lot of poins that could take pages to explain fully / are detailed in other previous posts.Īssuming you are a normal hobby user then a genuine Microchip PK2 is still the best one to get. Is this usable for any digital logic projet, even those who don't have pics? This is a nice bonus feature if it's possible. In which case would MPLAB ICD 3 be better than one of the PicKits?ģ) I've read that picKit 2, but not PicKit 3, has a logic analyzer (4 or 5 lines i believe). Mouser doesn't have the -ICD equivalent, a bummer since i was going to buy everything there.Ģ) What are the major differences between MPLAB 3 and PicKit 2 or 3? There is a big price difference and i fail to see the differences, especially debug wise. These devices are required for debug tool operation.Ĭurrently available headers and their associated ICE/ICD devices are shown below by Some devices have no built-in debug circuitry. The section has the following notice which seems to say i need to find the -ICD version: The PIC16F688 is classified under the 'required header' section in the header spec document. I am new to the PICs and somewhat confused about a few things i've read:ġ) Do i really need to use a PIC16F688-ICD version pic in order to be able to do in-circuit-debugging, or is there a way i can use the production version pic? I am also looking into getting a programmer + debugger for it. Hi, i am planning to use a PIC16F688 for a project.
