I do have the Explorer 16 and the ICD2. Yes you need
the ICD2 to program the PIC24 and dsPic. The doc.
states that you can use the bootloader to program the
MCU..... Unfortunately THAT part is not
working*Argh..*. You can use an ICD2 to program the
PIC18 for USB functionality.... But still NO clear
sight in getting it to work.... Last time I checked
the boot loader does not program the PIC24 and dsPic.
