Although here in good old europe the PicKit2 is delivered without the ICSP/RJ11 cable provided, I'll try the hack using the J14 jack. By the way: During this procedure, is the Ex16=board to be powered up someways externally ? Unfortunately MPlab IDE 7.50 shipped with european delivery of the Ex16 doesn't provide support for PicKit2. I'll try the more recent 8.xx version. Can't back up hardware, but the Zdiode extension is a real good idea (no RISC, no fun :-)) Finally I've to say that me too like Cy is wonderin' why microchip .... and so on. Best regards Reinhard PS: Please apologize if there's something misspelled, my knowledge of the english language isn't as half as big I want it to be. Hello,

Finally I’ve to say that me too like Cy is wonderin’ why microchip …. and so on.

Thank you for the clean and clear overview of the available options. This is, by far, the best article I've found on the topic. Thanks! Awesome article!

I wonder why Microchip abandoned it? I love you for this.

Well... I am from a PCB Design background. I am trying to get into embedded designs. Could you please guide me which microcotroller I should choose for learning and also applying that learning to further designing embedded solutions. OR should I choose FPGA sounds funny at this stage - but then someone has directed me to a ALTIUM SITE - http://nb3000.altium.com/intro.html - [NANO BOARD] Please try to find out some of your valuable time to suggest me.
