What exactly is the problem? Is the on board PIC18LF4550 based
"PICKit 2 Lite" being recognized by the PC as a USB HID device?
If not, then you do not program the firmware correctly. What is the
programmer you use to program the PIC18LF4550 on board the
Explorer 16?

BTW, this may not be the correct place to ask this problem.
You should ask in the Microchip forum thread.

Thanks for your reply. i try to use the PICKit 2 to program the PIC18LF4550, but did not know the way to program it is correct or not.

How to determine?

If it is not recognized by the PC, most likely it is not programmed correctly.
Again, it is better that you read the Microchip thread carefully and try again.

do you think the dsPIC can be replacement for the PLC application?
