More head scratching...  I was about to set the "Device" in the PICkit3 programmer software, and looked at the picture of the PCB in front of me...  it says PIC24F04KA201.  But from memory it didn't seem right.
The page referring to the user guide reports the part as PIC24F04KA200.  The manual also says PIC24F04KA200.
I pulled out my magnifying glasses and found the correct answer is...   PIC24F04KA200.
So wiki and manual are right --  the picture and PCB are wrong.
Maybe the first few pictures in the manual can be doctored to overwrite the 201 with 200 -- making it clear that the PCB was wrong.

Yup there is a typo on the silk screen for the PIC part number. The pictures in the wiki are from the beta board. Does the coop boards also have the same typo?

I didn't discover the problem until I had built all of my SSCv4s -- so I've covered that part of the board and can no longer tell.

No Problem, I made a small update to the pictures in the wiki. Hopefully that helps and we will have to have RJ update the silk screen if needed on the next run of the pcbs.

Thanks for letting us know

The coop boards also have the same typo.  I pulled the PIC to look under the socket.
