End users and third parties can easily modify both the hardware and software for enhanced features. The PICkit 2 is open to the public, including its hardware schematic, firmware source code (in C language) and application programs (in C# language). The latest PICkit 2 firmware allows the user to program and debug most of the 8 and 16 bit PICmicro and dsPIC members of the Microchip product line. The PICkit 2 uses an internal PIC18F2550 with FullSpeed USB. This feature is not intended for so-called "production" programming, however. This makes it possible to use the programmer with a custom circuit board via an in-circuit serial programming (ICSP) header. The most notable difference between the two is that the PICkit 2 has a separate programmer/debugger unit which plugs into the board carrying the chip to be programmed, whereas the PICkit 1 was a single unit. The PICkit 2 - introduced in May 2005 - replaced the PICkit 1. The light display's direction and speed of rotation can be changed with the button and potentiometer on the PICkit board. Its default program, explained in the documentation, rotates the LEDs in series. It was integrated into a demonstrator board, featuring eight LEDs, a switch, and a potentiometer. The PICkit 1 - introduced on Mafor US$36 - was a rudimentary USB programmer for PIC microcontrollers, produced by Microchip Technology, the manufacturer of the PIC series of microcontrollers. Some models also feature logic analyzer and serial communications ( UART) tool.
They are used to program and debug microcontrollers, as well as program EEPROM. PICkit is a family of programmers for PIC microcontrollers made by Microchip Technology.
