29 July 2014 Question by: Rapid Customer | Product code: 97-0101
Q. Will Pickit 2 run under Windows 8.1, please?
A. Hi Jim. Thank you for your question. According to Microchip it ‘should’ work. You will need to be prepared to do a bit of ‘googling’ if it doesn’t work right out of the box. In fact Microchip have a very handy tool that you should try if it doesn’t work right away.

Q. hi would this program the PIC16F688 thank you for your help
A. Hi Ian. Thank you for your question. P139 of the data sheet for 73-3700 suggests that the pickit 2 is suitable for this product.

Q. hi i wanted to know if i bought this, would i be able to use this programmer with another compatible board with a pic 18f4540 chip on it. thanks
A. Hi Shez, thanks for your question. Unfortunately this will not program 18 pin PICs - only 8-14 and 20 pin chips.


20 March 2012 Question by: Rapid Customer | Product code: 97-0101
Q. I have a programmer, and currently it is unable to program this chip; Pic24fj64ga006-i/pt 16 Bit Microcontroller.. WILL this Pic Kit 2, have the ability to program this? i currently use the CCS C to produce the HEX to upload... i currently use the software to upload annd i think its Pic Kit 2 compatible, question is though, WILL this Bit of KIT upload HEX to this chip (Pic24fj64ga006-i/pt 16 Bit Microcontroller) thank you kindly
A. Hi Wayne, thanks for your question. The Pickit2 Starter Kit will not be compatible with the requested Pic 24fj64ga006-ipt, so unfortunately will not upload the files you mention.

I love this! It will program just about any PIC out there, plus a whole range of other devices like serial EEPROMs, and dsPICs. Also, it has a Programmer-to-go feature, where you load the program into the EEPROM inside the PICkit 2, and then push the button to program the intended device from away from the computer. The software also has some cool features, like a logic-analyser function, where the PICkit 2 acts like a 3 channel logic analyser, perfect for checking servo signals or USART timing; and a USART function, for sending and recieving serial data to/from the PIC. Plus the price tag: £40. A bargain for what it is. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone. 10/10
