PICKIT™ 2 Command-Line Option
I have good news for all the users of Microchip Technology’s PICkit 2 programmer who want to use it with an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) other than Microchip’s MPLAB® IDE. Microchip has released a DOS command-line option for the PICkit 2, and I’ve successfully used it with the MicroCode Studio IDE from Mecanique (http://www.mecanique.co.uk) and microEngineering Labs’ PICBASIC PRO™ sample version (http://www.microengineeringlabs.com)...

Umm. I hate to admit this, but my problem was that I did not have the USB cable fully inserted into the PICKIT2. I guess nothing is idiot proof. Works fine now.

Hi. I am trying to set up the MC studio / pickit2 integration described in this article, but something is wrong. Some DOS windows flash up and then go away. The article says that this is probably an error and that you have to run the command line manually to see the error. The there’s this parenthetical “(if you know how to do this"). Well, OK, what if you don’t. How do I view the error. Thanks for the article. I’m so close it hurts. I hope I can get an answer.
