Hi all, I read some pages of the - part of the - book that can be found on the Elektor website.
For JAL it points to the JAL download site and the examples are based on Jallib version 1.5.0, that's what the book says. For the programmer it talks about the XWisp and the PicKit3. I would not have mentioned the XWisp since it supports only a limited number of PICs. The good thing is that he explains how to use the PicKit3 using the Pickit3 software or the IPE software from MPLABX and how you can 'revert' the Pickit3 to use either one of these packages. I will read the book and I will write down suggestions and comments for Peter (e.g about not mentioning the XWisp), maybe handy for a re-print. I expect - like software - that the book is not bug free 😊.

That is *very* good to know, thanks! Maybe I'll have to dump my ICD3, as it doesn't support Qx0/Qx1/Qx3/Qx4 :-( Greets, Kiste Am Dienstag, 22.

But, Microchip Open Sourced PK2 in 2009 and PK3 in 2012. Which means there are hardware developers selling PK2 and PK3. As of 2021 we were appointed as a Microchip Partner to provide PICKITPlus software for the PK2 and PK3. PK2 and PK3 are not dead. Far from it. We are adding the Q83 and Q84 this month. We have software for Windows, Linus, Pi. And, we have many software options across these operating systems. 😊 Evan Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: 'Oliver Seitz' via jallib Sent: 22 June 2021 07:31 To: '[email protected]' via jallib Subject: Re: [jallib] New - Dutch - book on programming PIC microcontrollers with JAL Hi Evan, "Status: No Longer Available" says Microchip website about PICKit2 *and* PICKit3. The book addresses people who never have used microcontrollers, they presumably don't have any equipment already. I think it's ok not to talk about the device peceeding the now-obsolete device.

What was said about PICKit3? and why is PICKit2 missing? With PICKitPlus supporting most operating systems and the Microchip PIC range I would like to see this in the book. Anyone got any insights?
