Compare pickit3 with icd2. Waiting for pickit3 to arrive.

 

Main features of pickit3:

1. the USB connection is stable, and there is no issue of flushing the firmware of icd2/icd2.5.
2. fast download speed.
3. Supports offline burning and writing. It can be used for offline burning and writing of products in batches.
4. adjustable power supply output. The internal voltage can be directly controlled in mplab ide software.
5. Windows 7 is supported.

Reasons for selecting pickit3:

1. Why choose pickit3 instead of icd2/icd2.5?
A) stable use of pcikit3. Icd2/icd2.5 has a congenital technical defect: USB connection Error

, Punch the firmware. It must be improved by countless engineers,
The error probability is greatly reduced. However, this is an inherent defect that cannot be completely avoided.
