The PICkit 3 Programmer-To-Go functionality allows a PIC MCU memory image to be downloaded into the PICkit 3 for programming later into a specific PIC MCU. No software or PC is required to program devices once the PICkit 3 programmer is set up for Programming-To-Go. A USB power source for the PICkit 3 is all that is needed.
When using the Programming-To-Go feature, you can only program. No debugging capabilities are available with Programming-To-Go.

The PICkit 3 is NOT a production programmer. It should be used for development purposes only. The programmer-To-Go operation offers programming portability for field environments, not for production purposes.

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
