CHAPTER 3: SETTING UP PIC-KIT3
3. Introduction to the chapter
More details about the standard connection routine of Olimex PIC-KIT3 and your target via
MPLAB 8 and MPLAB X.

3.1 Hardware setup
The required hardware for successful connection might vary depending on the target board and
chip.
chip.
PIC-KIT3 has a 6-pin male DIP header with 2.54mm (0.01'') pitch.
1) The first thing to consider is the target's connector's type. Some of the older boards have RJ11
connector. Some boards have connectors with smaller step (0.05'' distance between pins). For cases
like that an adapter might be created following the pinout. Alternatively, we sell adapter for cases

2) After the connection between the OLIMEX PIC-KIT3 and your target board is established you
need to connect the debugger to the computer. Note that this requires a USB standard-B to USB
standard-A cable which is not included in the package but might be purchased separately either
from your favorite electronics store or from our web site.

3) The final hardware note is to power the target chip/board. The PIC-KIT3 allows target powering
in the (3.0-3.5)VDC range with the standard amperage for USB 2.0 – 100mA maximum. If you
board exceeds these power requirements make sure it is sufficiently powered.

3.2 MPLAB 8
Connecting the programmer/debugger in
MPLAB 8.xx is fairly straightforward but it is
recommended to be done in the following order:
1. Start MPLAB 8.xx
2. Select target chip from “Configure” →
“Select Device”. Ensure the device selected is
supported by PIC-KIT3. If there is a green dot at the left side of PIC-KIT3 it is supported.
3. Select PIC-KIT3 either as a programmer (or a debugger) from “Programmer” → “Select
programmer” (or “Debugger” → “Select tool”)
