    BOARD USER’S GUIDE Chapter 2. Getting Started The Curiosity Low Pin Count (LPC) Development Board contains a PICkit On-Board (PKOB) which allows for both low-voltage programming and low-voltage in-circuit debugging for all supported devices. When used with the MPLAB IDE, in-circuit debugging allows the user to run, modify, and troubleshoot their custom software and hardware quickly, without the need for additional debugging tools.
