Device programming

I am now using a PICKIT 2 purchased directly from Microchip, it is a great deal. For $50 you get a development board, the programmer, and the software.

I am using MPLABX on Linux Mint (desktop) and Debian (lab).

MPLAB XC: mostly free C compilers http://www.microchip.com/pagehandler/en_us/devtools/mplabxc/ Non-free options offer better optimizations. You get a 60 day eval on PRO level with the free version.
