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
