More details on the tool at http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1406&dDocName=en548414:

The Microstick for dsPIC33F and PIC24H devices is designed to provide designers with an easy to use, economical development environment for 16-bit Digital Signal Controllers and Microcontrollers.

Microstick provides all you need to get started at a very low cost. It has an integrated programmer / debugger. It can be used stand-alone or plugged into a prototyping board for extremely flexible development. The device under test is socketed for easy change-out, and Microchip’s MPLAB Integrated Development Environment supports Microstick. It has never been more affordable to get started with Microchip 16-bit devices!

If you haven’t been to MASTERs, it’s a 3-day conference that Microchip holds every year. They have a bunch of technical classes. I think last year, there was about 100 offered. I like it because you can spent time learning about new technology, but you can meet the designers in person and ask them questions, like “Why haven’tyou thought of this?”  Ha ha.

 Back to the discounts… MASTERs registration isn’t cheap, but the tools you can buy there are.  They usually offer tools up to 50% off. So if you need to stock your lab with new boards or software, it’s worth the trip to Phoenix. Even it’s 150 degrees in July.
