What is wrong?

You will need the PICKIT3 also (~$40), but the setup is nice and very easy to use. I'm not sure about the USB bootloader, I haven't used that on this device.</p>

Look in google for pinguino proyect. It is an Arduino enviroment for these kind of pics. You can program the PIC via USB and use the same languague Arduino has.</p>

1. Switch the PWR jumper pins to USB
2. Connect a USB cable to the board and PC ( I see a blinking LED)
3. Download the C source of the USB bootloader (AN1310)
4. Run the Bootloader.<p>Problems I'm facing:
1. With the board connected, AN1310 shows that it cannot connect to COM1. I don't know how to go about changing the port.
2. I don't know how exactly to flash a program onto the board.
3. How do I go about programming? I want the development board to function as a Mass Storage Device</p><p>Any help is greatly appreciated</p></p>

However, we do have another 40pin PIC development board that comes without a MCU included, found <a href="https://www.sparkfun.com/products/21" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p>

For the Host PC app, here is the URL <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/AppNotes/Serial%20Bootloader%20AN1310%20v1.03.exe" rel="nofollow">http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/AppNotes/Serial%20Bootloader%20AN1310%20v1.03.exe</a><br>
I hope this helps</p>
