EEVblog #39 – Microchip PICkit 3 Programmer/Debugger Review


Dave compares the new PICkit 3 to the old PICkit 2, and, well, he starts to rant uncontrollably about how Microchip may have screwed this up. . . And what do MBA managers and dickheads have in common? UPDATE: Be sure to watch Microchip’s hilarious video response! www. youtube. com Intro music by Kevin MacLeod

    I had heard about the led problem with it but thanks for pointing out the flaws. Your reasoning about why the changes is fair but lets not forget that not all engineers are perfect. Maybe creative engineer had something to do with it’s design hence the insults chucked at you.

    @creativeengineer dude he is just doing a product review. . i dont see the point why this video is about attracting chicks. . .

  4. raulzeva

    you are an idiot

  5. creativeengineer

    I bought a PicKit 3. It is very good. . . I agree with the annoyance on always setting to power source though. Oh, an regarding Atmel vs Microcip. . . pros and cons for both; I love Atmel, except they quote a ridiculous 20-24 week leadtime through its Aussie distributor!!!! I am now developing a commercial product using Microchip uC primarily because of availablity above all else. Off-the-shelf and cheap. The Pickit 3 does the job OK. Atmel has a lot to learn about supporting the smaller customers.

  6. Nanovirus5995

    @creativeengineer Nor do rude comments. And its not like (this is if he wasn’t married) he’s going to go up to an attractive women and go “Hey look at my PicKit 3. Its better than my PicKit 2. And its red!”

  7. DonLoco7

    really? like Kylie Minogue? will you barter her for some pickit 2?

  8. jie900

    exactly. and it’s only one example of companies “improving” their products, like some video website which “improves” their interface

  9. Madlion

    this is the best review ever LOL, i dunno anything about PIC, gonna start. but i do agree dickhead project managers always screw things up

  10. Gameboygenius

    7:05 What a good moment for those crickets to stop chirping. . .

  11. pedomohd

    the best product review I ever watched. Nicely done I love this review

  12. sergio1020881

    your a great critic, tell them dickheads the truth.

  13. portblock

    I have all my clients purchase the pickit2 so they can update via the stand alone programer when I email them an updated hex file. A client can call me, ask for a tweak, and I can email the hex file, the stand alone programmer is simple for them, and for the production line as well. why remove it?

  14. 4sineweaver2

    Dave, you’ve just described almost every product I’ve bought in the last 10 years. I’m so sick of having to “fix” everything I buy. And also, it just kills me how often I see products ruined by using substandard parts that saved pennies on the cost of the product.

    I’m to the point of thinking that suits need to be held accountable for ruining the reputation of the company and employees they embarrass.

  15. hugos31

    dave, also check the Fluke ScopeMeter 123 that has a defect in the LCD screen sooner or later always have horizontal lines, and the cost of repair is expensive and nobody says anything

  16. EEVblog

    LOL!
    My wife DOES look like Kylie Minogue!

  17. creativeengineer

    This nerd is a serial whinger. I wonder if this dag realises PicKits don’t attract chicks? PicKit 2 or PicKit3 – it doesn’t matter – he has no hope of being Kylie Minogue’s next beau.

  18. khalsouna

    thanks for the review, this guy is funny too

  19. PodeCoet

    How the hell have I not heard of you!? Subscribed!

  20. TelevisionMagazine

    Bunch of idiots! Must drive you guys nuts.
    How to balls up a design or what!

  21. tgmaxx56

    My PICkit3 is great — very easy to use, reliable and even fun. I am glad I got it.

  22. CoyoteLight

    Agree – wish I had not wasted my money on the junk.

  23. ve2zzz

    Yep !!!! Il will stick to my old PICkit 2 !!!!

  24. EEVblog

    No, the PICKIT3 can generate a supply voltage.

  25. psicodelio

    whit the pickit 3 you need an adittional power source in order to program the controllers?
