* The 6-pin header (0.100" spacing) accepts 0.025" square pins.
Note: The programming connector pin functions are different for programming
Serial EEPROMS and HCS devices. See the ReadMe file for the PICkit 3
(Help>Readme) included with the MPLAB IDE software for these pinouts.
1.2.5 Status LEDs
The Status LEDs indicate the status of the PICkit 3.
1. Power (green) – Power is supplied to the PICkit 3 via the USB port.
2. Active (blue) – The PICkit 3 has connection to the PC USB port and the
communication link is active.
3. Status:
Busy (yellow) – The PICkit 3 is busy with a function in progress, such as
programming.
Error (red) – The PICkit 3 has encountered an error.
1.3 HOW THE PICKIT 3 PROGRAMMER/DEBUGGER HELPS YOU
The PICkit 3 programmer/debugger allows you to:
• Debug your application on your own hardware in real time
• Debug with hardware breakpoints
• Set breakpoints based on internal events
• Monitor internal file registers
• Emulate at full speed
• Program your device
