PixIt Plus有三个变体:一个用于PigIT2程序员的Windows GUI应用程序,另一个用于PICTIT3程序员的Windows GUI应用程序,以及一个用于PICTIT2和PICTIT3程序员的命令行实用程序。我们已经更新、修改和添加了新的协议来支持。微芯片8位部件自微芯片丢弃支持,2009和2012用于PK2和PK3 GUI应用,并且非常重要的是支持较新范围的微芯片部件(因此新协议)。更新了零件库,帮助等,所以我们测试并得到了更多的人测试-结果非常好。我们没有分享申请太远,因为我们有一个“去市场”计划。看下一段。然后,我们开始了“去市场”的计划。这个计划相对简单。选择之一是要求微芯片在微芯片的旗帜下进行开发。这对每个人来说都是比较容易的选择。Microchip将获得工作的信任,商业安排将覆盖支持成本,Microchip将“证书签署”PickPlus应用程序(因为这不便宜),然后软件将释放给大家作为免费软件。就像过去一样。在与微芯片8位副总裁合作之后,他得到的回应是微芯片程序员的一个惊喜。他们(Microchip程序员师)似乎不太兴奋……(不认为他们愿意延长旧的选择。所有的产品都是……是的,一个支架在反应中丢失了。-那么,我们必须进入“去市场”计划的下一步。寻找应用程序包装的资金,整理许可,并在一个更复杂的模式中发布一个新的包。总结。我们有一个非常好的编程套件,为PACKIT2和PICTIT3程序员,这将延长你的程序员/投资的生命。不需要购买一个新程序员只是为了编程一部分,并且所有的旧部件都使用PkIdPlus。但是,我们需要捐款。我们不是一个慈善机构,需要付出真正的代价来发布一个签名和维护一个像PikPlus这样的应用程序。希望这有帮助。埃文。

The whole story.
PICKit Plus comes in three variants - a Windows GUI application for the PICKIT2 programmer, another Windows GUI application for the PICKIT3 programmer and a command line utility for both the PICKIT2 and PICKIT3 programmers.
We have updated, revised and added new protocols to support the Microchip 8 bit parts released since Microchip dropped support, in 2009 and 2012 for PK2 and PK3 GUI applications, and, very importantly support for the newer range of Microchip parts (hence the new protocols). Updated the parts database, help etc. So, we tested and got folks to test even more - results were very good. We did not not share the application too far as we had a 'Go To Market' plan.... see next paragraph.
Then, we started the 'Go To Market' plan. The plan was relatively simple. Option One was to ask Microchip to take the development back under the banner of Microchip. This is the easier option for everyone. Microchip would get the credit for work, a commercial arrangement would cover the support costs, Microchip would 'certificate sign' the PICKit Plus applications (as this is not cheap) and then the software would be released to you all as freeware. As it was in the past.
Well after working with the Microchip 8-Bit Division Vice President...the response he got was a bit of a surprise from the Microchip Programmer Division.
Quote
They (Microchip Programmer Division) did not seem very excited… (do not think they would like to prolong the old PICKiT products at all…..
Yes, a brace was missing in the response. :-)
So, we have to go to the next step in the 'Go To Market' plan. Find the funding for the application packaging, sort out licensing, and release a new package in a more complex manner.
Summary.
We have a very good programming suite for the PICKIT2 and PICKIT3 programmers that will extend the life of your programmer/investment. No need to buy a new programmer just to program a part, and, all you old parts work with PICKIT Plus. But, we need donations. We are not a charity and there are real costs that have to borne to release a signed and maintain an application like PICKit Plus.
Hope this helps.
