#PICKIT 3 DEVICE SUPPORT SOFTWARE#

I'm using a PICkit 3 clone randomly chosen from the dozens on the Bay.Р”Вownloaded the 3.01 programming software from the Microchip archive. 20, 8 and 14 pin PICs: The connections on the 20 pin socket physically align with those required on both 8 and 14 pin PICs, so use that socket, aligning pin 1 of the 8 and 14 pin devices with the sockets pin 1. I have never used anything PIC before but I'm a 40 year plus software guy

#PICKIT 3 DEVICE SUPPORT UPDATE#

I just completed my tuner build and wanted to update to the 3.2 firmware. The WF121.hex in the fw directory has the second UART enabled and operating at a 115200. hex file either from the fw/ directory or one of the examples from the examples/ directory.

I'm probably going to lead a Maker's group build of this tuner so I'd need to be able to reliably work on it. That said, after multiple attempts at writes I popped the display back on and the doggone thing booted up in the 3.2 firmware and as far as I can tell it works flawlessly. Every attempt at a write fails on verify and similar to the OP - a read appears to have only written the first byte or perhaps some random bytes. Downloaded the 3.01 programming software from the Microchip archive. I'm using a PICkit 3 clone randomly chosen from the dozens on the Bay. If you encounter this error: 'Pickit3 is in mplab mode', disconnect the usb and keep the button pressed down while reconnecting the usb. I, myself, am using a clone PICkit3 and never had a problem with it. I have never used anything PIC before but I'm a 40 year plus software guy so 'How hard can it be?' :) If properly connected via usb to the PC/laptop, youll be prompted a 'Device found' message. I know this is an older thread but I experienced a similar problem.
