Review on 🔧 Optimized Functionality Interfaces for Debugging Computer Components by Programmers by Robert Xayamonty

Excellent, very easy to set up and run. There is a quick start guide on their website as well as a 3-4 minute video tutorial. In a few minutes I programmed my PIC18 and MPLAB also recognized the programmer immediately after plugging it into the USB port without any further steps or drivers. I'm using it with the latest MPLAB software on a Mac (Macbook Pro 13, Intel processor). There are no issues communicating with the USB port (I used a Thunderbolt to USB adapter), nor was there any need to install additional drivers for the port. 1. Install the latest plab software from their website (free version)2. Unpack MPLAB Pickit-4, connect to USB.3 port. Set it up following the Pickit-4 quick start guide or watch the 3 minute video.4. Connect the pins of your PIC device to the Pick 4 leads (I used a solderless breadboard for the connections)5. Compile your project (maybe in C or ASM, I used ASM)6. Your PIC is programmed and working, in the tutorial they use a blinking LED. The programmer is full of features like software and compilers, but it is also very easy to start programming and help you get started. In the past, all of these complex tools required a much steeper and more difficult learning curve, not anymore in my experience with this tool. And for people with broader experience, I think the capabilities of this tool are great.
