The PICkitTM 2 Starter Kit is a lowcost development kit with an easy to
use interface for programming Microchip's 8/14/20pin Flash family of
microcontrollers. This starter kit is designed to help developers get up
to speed quickly using PIC microcontrollers.
The kit provides everything needed to program, evaluate and develop
applications using Microchip's powerful 8/14/20pin Flash family of
controllers. Instructions are provided in a series of twelve lessons that
cover I/O, Interrupts, A/D Converters, Data Tables and Timers. All
source code files for the lessons are furnished.
Code development and debugging is performed using Microchip's
powerful MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The
MPLAB IDE is a seamless, integrated software development
environment that includes a MPASMTM macro assembler, MPLAB SIM
software simulator with symbolic debugger, colorcoded source editor,
project manager with highlevel language debugging and concurrent
support for development tools, including lowcost incircuit debuggers,
fullfeatured realtime emulators and programmers. The consistent and
easytouse graphic user interface of the MPLAB desktop allows for
rapid switching between development, debugging and programming
modes within a project.
