Can we use a PICkit 5 to program a PIC18F4550 for dual purposes: to provide input and display the actual output of a PID circuit on an LCD?

 

PicKit is programmer / debugger.

Check the list of micros that can be programmed, in their site.

 

It works with the 18F4550

 

It works with the 18F4550

Which LCD will be perfect ? single pic18F4550 enough for both giving input and display the output?

 

It’s shouldn’t have a problem you have lots of i/o pins
