ELECTROSTATIC WARNING:
The PIC-MT-USB board is shipped in protective anti-static packaging. The board
must not be subject to high electrostatic potentials. General practice for working
with static sensitive devices should be applied when working with this board.

BOARD USE REQUIREMENTS:

Cables:
Depends on the used programming/debugging tool. It could be 1.8
meter USB A-B cable to connect PIC-ICD2-POCKET, PIC-ICD2, PIC-MCP-USB to
USB host on PC or RS232 cable in case of PIC-ICD2-TINY, PIC-MCP or other
programming/debugging tools.
Hardware:
Programmer/Debugger some of Olimex programmers are
applicable, for example PIC-ICD2, PIC-ICD2-POCKET, PIC-ICD2-TINY, PICMCP, PIC-MCP-USB or other compatible programming/debugging tool.
