Hello,
I'm interested in buying a PicKit 3 programmer, like the one located here:
http://www.microchip.com/Development...paign=PICkit+3
I've modified a circuit that has a pre-progammed PIC (16F628A) and added an ICSP 6-pin header. I noticed though, that the kit only comes with the PicKit 3 and a USB cable. Does anyone know where I can get the 6-pin cable at? Also, I've seen talk about an RJ-11 connector. Is that just for debugging in-circuit or am I supposed to be using RJ-11 connectors instead of ICSP 6-pin male headers? If so, that'd really suck.
Finally, I see talk of some special header for in-circuit debugging. It appears to be a circuit board. But there's a few different "header" packages. How useful is in-circuit debugging and do I really need to purchase one of these special "headers"?
Here's a link to a PDF that talks about the various headers. https://cdn.badcaps-static.com/pdfs/...9062dabff9.pdf
This is all new to me so I apologize if some of my questions sound a bit naive. Thank you.
