ICD4 is my ICE, it does any voltage I need and any external voltage if it is set.
I use MPLABX and MPLAB since V1 so I know it pretty well.
I have also seen that netbeans has a gluon package, but I did not get it to work, I want to use the netbeans IDE for cross platform, but I am not very knowledgeable in all the dependencies and many tools needed to get a xojo like experience in java.
obviously by experience I mean something that looks pretty but works, not looks pretty and is a whole heap of shit
