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.

A. Hi Shez, thanks for your question. Unfortunately this will not program 18 pin PICs - only 8-14 and 20 pin chips.
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.
