Re: Micro Code Studio and Studio Plus
1) What are the differences between both products ?
$50 us, ic debugging for more chips ,mspx bundles easy hid and mcloader
2) I think I have read somewhere that MCSPlus was coming with PBP3.x Gold. Did I dream ? Do I have to purchase it separatly ?
dream ,but check web site for offers
3) More technical. I understand that MCSPlus supports PICKIT 2 and PICKIT 3, but only for programming ? Correct ?
either version can work with most programmers that have command line interfaces that includes pk2/pk3 but only for programming
4) Does It mean that I need to have a USB cable coming from my PC to the PICKIT for programming and a RS line (may be thru a USB to RS bridge) for debugging, coming from my PC to a reserved RS port on the PIC to debug ?
yes mcspx needs a rs232 port for debugging , I find most usb serial adapters are totally unreliable for debugging with mcspx and have given up
even trying , it was ok with an old pc that had a real serial port but ! . the code overheads made debugging impossible/impractical anyway
