Comidox 1PCS PICkit3 Electronic Chips Emulator Original MPLAB PICkit 3 PIC Microcontroller Chip in-Circuit Debugger Programmer

I've used Microchip PIC devices for many years. This programmer is a copy but programs PIC devices as well as the originals. I have not tried the in-circuit debugging / emulating functionality.

Bueno si funciona

I used it to program the pic's in my Losmandy telescope mount so I could update to Gemini 2 level 6. Worked fine with the Microchip software. No complaints. If you buy one to do what I did, order some 2.0 mm male header pins to make an adapter, this has the standard 2.5mm pitch.

Works OK. I would prefer to do everything at the command line. Have to use Microchip's IDE and IPE. Their software has more functions than I know what to do with. All I want to do is compile my source code and store the hex file in the Pic microcontroller. Preferably at the command line.

It works just fine, don’t mind the negative reviews. I’m using MPLAB X v6.0 and it’s programming my PIC12F as expected.However, the “Status” led indicator on the PicKit3 clone may sustain a green light then blink red every second. The documentation states that this is due to Vdd/Vss problems but this hasn’t effected programming the PIC.If you are new to PIC programming (like I am) be careful not to overwrite your preprogrammed calibration memory. If you accidentally write over it, your PIC will not function as expected until you restore your calibration memory from a working PIC.Keep coding. 👓
