USB PIC Programmer PICkit 2 + USB Cable – MPLAB Compatible 

The PICkit 2 programmer is a development tool with a easy to use interface for programming and debugging Microchip’s flash families of micro-controllers. The windows programming interface supports all commonly available PIC microcontrollers.

With Microchip’s powerful MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE) the PICkit 2 enables in circuit debugging on most PIC microcontrollers. In-Circuit-Debugging runs, halts and single steps the program while the PIC micro-controller is embedded in the application. When halted at a break-point, the file registers can be examined and modified.

The PICkit 2 clone doesn’t require external power supply

It is an ICSP (In Circuit Serial Programming) Programmer with on-board ICSP to ZIF converter. In Circuit Serial Programming enables the microcontroller to be programmed without removing it from the circuit. This makes debugging of the circuit more convenient and efficient.
