I had copied over a TO-263 footprint from the public library in Kicad, then checked up in the datasheet from JLCPCB cause I thought the IC was unusually large.

Since this question has come up again, I thought I'd throw this module out to the masses. It is something I worked on a while back, with DT's help. Amid life's other priorities, it got put on the shelf to collect dust.
The basic idea is that by adding the module as an INCLUDE and inserting a couple of commands inside your code, you can have the PIC send timing data to your PC via the hardware serial port. It's made for 18F PICs (although some 16Fs may work too). You also need a timer that is not being used for anything else.
1) Instructions are included, as well as a small example.
2) It worked well for me, and as I recall, DT in testing.
3) Use it however you want.
4) I won't be able to offer much support, but figure there are enough knowledgeable folks around here that can help those who need it.
Re: JLCPCB ordering tip
Well, you got a giant TO-263 at 15 inches! :)
