Hi All,

I saw this on an Ad on The Back Shed (see Glenn some people read those ads)

PicKit 3

$23.79Aud posted for a PK3.. I reckon that is the cheapest available at the moment. For those that want to get into programming their own Pics.

The description states ORIGINAL but I don't believe this is the genuine PK3 but one of the many clones, mind you I have a clone and it works fine.

They also have PicKit 2 at $17.xx (just search for pickit)

Pretty decent prices.

Mick

I have one of the Banggood PIckit3 clones. It has done everything I've asked it to.

Mick, at least they haven't used the microchip logo on the top of the unit. Probably firmly suggests that it is a clone.

All the best

I ordered one of these, not sure how they did it but I ordered on 27/12 and it was here 31/12. I got mine for $23.73 delivered. Just updated to MMBasic 4.6 with it.

I guess that the description states that it uses the ORIGINAL PC software?

Hi Mick

My BangGood PK3 arrived yesterday, and it looks just exactly like a real Microchip PK3, eg carries the Microchip Logo complete with the (R) symbol !

Seems to be a real high quality product.

Once again, thanks for the tip.
