The only different things are a status LED, two mounting holes and strain relief hole for the input cable.
The ICD header is directly compatible with the PICKit3.
Thanks again to Howard for all his work on this, I'm looking forward to building some boards.
That's very nice work!
I'm concerned that your inductor has very few turns compared to the original design. That will give a much lower output unless you have increased the drive current to compensate for it.
