There is no definitive list for the PICKIT 3 for some reason.
shumifan50 said that the PICKIT 3 sports all PICs.
Thanks for the PICKIT 2 sported devices list!

There is no definitive list for the PICKIT 3 for some reason.
I wish they would include the core type on the selection guide. Baseline, mid-range, enhanced mid-range, high end. Or just the instruction word size.It's a shame thy don't list PICkit 2 & 3 compatibility on the selector
That's a bit different from the simple methods I suggested - it accepts an analogue signal, which may contain many frequencies, and performs simple digital signal processing on it to determine whether the detection frequency is present in the input signal or not.Depending on what you want to use it for, you might want to take a look at this:

Part number? Link to data sheet?Well which ever way I do it it sounds complex. Maybe you can tell me what would be the best way to do this: I found these really neat color sensors that covert color to frequency.

I program my PIC16F627a's with nothing but a PICKIT2 and a breadboard. I mean you will need some hookup wire and a resistor or 2 but it's not that difficultI have been looking at the PICkit 2 and it looks like I need another board to program the PICs. Do I? Or can I just hook it up to the PIC? If so then how? Will C work with all PICs? It looks like what I'm going to do is get C for dummies and get to know C. Then I will get the PICkit 2 and MPLAB IDE. And start out programing 8-bit PICs. What would be the best 8-bit PIC series to start out with?
Thanks Guys

I second this, I'm currently writing code for a PIC16F627a to communicate via SPI with 2 wireless transceivers. The PIC16F627a doesn't have build in SPI hardware so I am coding all of the protocols myself (with help from KrisB of course). In addition to the SPI communication I will also be using the ADC's, creating lookup tables, and writing to displays. I would say this is a little more involved than blinking an LEDThat is nonsense. Various projects have various requirements for RAM, program ROM and CPU speed. If you are making a commercial product and plan to buy many thousands of PICs, it is useful to make it run on the smallest, cheapest PIC that meets the needs. But for one-off projects, you can almost always just use a bigger / better PIC for $1-2 more and get away with unoptimized C code. Also, if you know the code patterns that are generated, you can do almost any optimization that the compiler is going to do by hand.
I have done several projects using 8-bit PICs with the free C compiler.

(sorry I can't give you a link, I once told Steve that I would not post any)

This was a perfect opportunity to post a link. You're talking about a specific part that appears on a commercial web site and it's clearly not spam. This is a case when it is appropriate to post a link.
I think I vaguely remember the reasons I asked you not to post links. It is so vague now that I will not remember unless you start posting links out of the blue that look like spam.
