PICkit™ 2 Microcontroller Programmer
(See below table for part numbers and descriptions)

PICKit™ 2 Debug Express allows in-circuit debugging on selected PIC® microcontrollers. In-circuit debugging allows the designer to run, halt and single step the program while the PIC microcontroller is embedded in the hardware. Once halted, the file registers may be examined and modified. This greatly assists the designer in debugging the firmware and hardware together.

The PICkit 2 Debug Express is a low-cost development kit with an easy to use interface for debug as well as programming. It comes complete with a development board that contains Microchip's 44-pin PIC16F887 Flash microcontroller. This starter kit is designed to help developers get up to speed quickly using PIC® microcontrollers and provides everything needed to program, evaluate and develop applications. Instructions are provided in a series of twelve lessons that cover I/O, Interrupts, A/D Converters, Data Tables and Timers with an additional lesson covering debugging features. All source code files for the lessons are furnished.

Microchip's powerful MPLAB® Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a seamless, integrated software development environment that includes a MPASM™ macro assembler, MPLAB SIM software simulator with symbolic debugger, colour-coded source editor, project manager with high-level language debugging and concurrent support for development tools, including low-cost in-circuit debuggers, full-featured real-time emulators and programmers. The consistent and easy-to-use graphic user interface of the MPLAB desktop allows for rapid switching between development, debugging and programming modes within a project.

PICkit 2 Debug Express offers basic MPLAB ICD 2 style debugging integrated with MPLAB ICD 2 style debugging integrated with MPLAB IDE and offers the following functions:

• Programming
  
• Reset
  
• Run
  
• Halt
  
• Single Step
  
• Animate
  
• Single breakpoint
  
• Examine/Change File Registers

FEATURES:

PICkit 2 Debugger Express (DV164121) bundles the PIC 2 Device Programmer with a 44-pin demo board. The board includes a PIC16F887 TQFP pre-soldered device and a generous surface mount prototyping area. Tutorial s in the User's Guide demonstrate the debugging features implemented.

PICkit™ 2 Microcontroller Programmer
	DV164121	PICkit 2 Debug Express PICkit 2 Debug Express allows in-circuit debugging on selected PICmicro microcontroller units (MCUs). In-circuit debugging allows the designer to run, examine, and modify the program while the PICmicro MCU is embedded in the hardware, thereby assisting the designer in debugging the firmware and hardware together. Debug Express interacts with MPLAB IDE software. Programs can be run, stopped, and single-stepped. One breakpoint can be set and the processor can be reset. Register contents can be examined and modified when the processor is stopped. Debug Express requires MPLAB IDE version 7.40 or later.
	DM164120-2	PICkit 2 44-Pin Demo Board The DM164120-2 is a small demo board with a PIC16F device on board and a small surface mount prototype area. Use it with a PICkit 2 to program your code via a 6-pin ICSP header on the board. This kit also includes two bare PCB boards for those interested in customizing their development. This 44-Pin Demo Board also comes bundled with the PICkit 2 if you order the DV164121, the PICkit 2 Debug Express.
	PG164120	PICkit 2 Microcontroller Programmer Only The PICkit 2 Microcontroller Programmer takes advantage of Microchips Full-Speed USB device, significantly speeding up development programming. Included in this package are the PICkit 2 Programming Software, the MPLAB IDE Software, an A to mini-B USB cable, lessons for programming PICmicro MCUs, and more.
