Steve,

I am planning to prototype with the PICkit 2 Debug Express. It has a 44 pin surface mounted PIC. I will use hookup wire to jump from the PICkit board to my perfboard. If I blow the PIC a new board costs less than $25.

I am having trouble getting my new PICBASIC PRO software to work. It can compile, but not program. It can not find a programmer application. Maybe I should uninstall the software that came with my PICkit 2 Debugger Express. What do you think?

I am not sure how to proceed. The manual does not give any help.
