Overcome the cost and complexity barriers to entering the world of code development and embedded programming with the new PICkit 3 Debug Express Kit (Part # DV164131), priced at just $69.99 and includes:

• PICkit 3 debugger and programmer probe
• 44-pin demo board populated with a PIC18F45K20 MCU
• Free MPLAB® Integrated Development Environment
• Free version of the MPLAB C Compiler for PIC18 MCUs
• Easy-to-understand lessons and tutorials
• A host of other software utilities, examples with source code and
user’s guides

The PICkit 3 debug express works with 8- and 16-bit PIC Microcontrollers (MCUs) and 16-bit dsPIC Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs), and is expected to work with 32-bit PIC MCUs at a later date. Support for new devices is expected to be available via free firmware upgrades in future releases of the MPLAB IDE.

The PICkit 3 Debug Express Kit makes it easy to explore the world of embedded control and to learn code development quickly, using the free MPLAB Integrated Development Environment. Connected to and powered by any personal computer via USB, the plug-and-play kit provides in-circuit debugging functions such as halt, single step, breakpoint on data or address, clock switch on halt, and stopwatch.
