Thanks for your reply
I thought that PICkit3 works as=20
a debugger and a programmer

So, when I compile a sample program
I must upload to ( program) a microchip, in my case to PIC16F628A.
Only after that I can debug it.
Is it so? Or working with PICkit3 is different?

Do you mean only + and - and that is ALL?

But do you think that internal oscilator is important for PICkit3 to recogn=
ise PIC16F628A?
I thought that  MCLR is set up in config and has not any influence on PICki=
t3 in finding the=20
PIC16F628A.


PICkit3 requires only these signals
Vpp
VDD Target
Vss
PGD
PGC
PGM

Does it mean that if I connect these 6 signals to PICkit3 and power to PIC1=
6F628A ,=20
PIC16F628A must work?

Thanks
