    All you need is this http://www.microchipdirect.com/Produ...mid=1&treeid=6
    the basic PICKIT2. And a 6 pin header to connect the PICKIT2 to a bread board.

    I purchased the DebugExpress and have never used the demo board.

    Default PICkit 2 Offer £9.99 all in.

    Hi,
    If anyone is interested, there is an exclusive offer in Everyday Practical Electronics to buy a PICKIT 2 for £9.99 including postage and VAT, with a coupon from the magazine. I think this is only open to uk people, but others might be lucky.

    Kind regards Nick

    I have the PicKit2. Works great, but another hidden benefit is that the purchase gives you access to Microchip's Technical Support. Any questions or problems are quickly resolved.

    +1 for PicKit 2

    It also has a built in UART tool and Logic Analyser that has saved my bacon on a few occasions !

    Also support for future devices is going to be a lot better than any of the 3rd party programmers.
