can't even flash an LED

Yeah, I just figured out the LED wiring of the Pickit a few minutes ago before I read your post. Very strange way to do things? I've used several development boards, and usually LED's are wired individually to the separate pins so you can quickly (and simply) check program operation. Why on earth did they do it this way? The LED's are wired with several forward and other's reverse polarity. Sure I guess you might want to experiment with Hi and low outputs... but geeze what a mess.

Besides that, it's a nice programmer. No wall-wart, and 36 bucks.

hehe that's what i often call an engineer trip. Bah that's doing food for your brain cells.

I think the idea was to show creative appplication of limited resource devices like the 8 & 14-pin targets. It is a nifty board considering the investment.
