PICkit 5 in Circuit Debugger Programmer Kit 

The PICkit™ 5 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer Kit is a powerful development tool designed for programming and debugging a wide range of Microchip microcontrollers. It supports PIC®, dsPIC®, AVR®, and SAM (ARM Cortex-based) devices, making it suitable for both hobbyist and professional embedded development. The PICkit 5 connects to a computer via USB-C and works seamlessly with MPLAB® X IDE, allowing developers to program flash memory, debug firmware in real time, and test applications directly on target hardware. It also supports standalone (Programmer-to-Go) programming, enabling firmware updates without a PC.
