The PICkit 3 Debug Express includes

* PICkit 3 Debugger/Programmer
* 44-pin demo board with a PIC18F45k20 microcontroller
* All hookup cables
* and a CDROM that includes the following:

▪ PICkit 3 User’s Guide
▪ A series of 12 Lessons on assembly programming that cover I/O, A/D converters, timers, interrupts, and data tables (All source code files are provided)
▪ A Debugging Tutorial on using the PICkit 3 as a debugger with the MPLAB IDE
▪ A FREE CCS compiler for the PIC18F45k20. (2kWord Program Limit).
▪ HI-TECH PICC™ LITE C Compiler.
▪ Microchip’s MPLAB IDE software for a complete code development environment

The MPLAB PICkit 3 allows debugging and programming of PIC® and dsPIC® Flash microcontrollers at a most affordable price point using the powerful graphical user interface of the MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The MPLAB PICkit 3 is connected to the design engineer's PC using a full speed USB interface and can be connected to the target via an Microchip debug (RJ-11) connector (compatible with MPLAB ICD 2, MPLAB ICD 3 and MPLAB REAL ICE). The connector uses two device I/O pins and the reset line to implement in-circuit debugging and In-Circuit Serial Programming™.
