How to use PICKit+ with MPLAB-X IDE
https://www.electronics-lab.com/use-pickit-mplab-x-ide/
PICKit+ recently announced that it is now possible to Program Microchip PICs from MPLAB-X using PICkit2 programmer and it’s even possible for those PICs that MPLAB-X programmer operations do not support. The challenge There are many PIC microcontrollers that currently not supported by MPLAB-X or MPLAB-IPE. This typically includes: 16(L)F15xxx 16(L)F18xxx 16(L)F19xxx 18(L)FxxK40 18(L)FxxK42 18(L)FxxK83 […]
