Update for any pickit3 clone Sure Electronic users. The Microchip pickit 2 arrived,detected the chip immediately and was able to program it. While it was a frustrating experience I learned a lot in the troubleshooting and gained confidence in the process. While the pickit 3 failed me on this chip (a...

The Pickit 3 uses a 3.3v pic 24F, and the programmer board was supplying 3.02v from an adjustable AMS1117. I tweaked the voltage divider resistors and got the supply up to 3.23v but still no luck recognizing the PIC18. I'll know if the PIC is bad I guess when the pickit 2 arrives.

known_good_programmable_pic.jpg I have a 18F4431 board I have made and am trying to connect the PICKIT 3 (sure electronics clone) to it to program the hex file. I am getting a Target Device ID (00000000) does not match expected Device error. I have the same board working with a 16F so the programme...

Much thanks to both Ben and Martin for getting this noob back up and running. It was the parameters for me on the programmer (-cs 2 -chip PIC%p -nogui "%f.hex") which somehow I lost the "-nogui" parameter, which I think occurred when I played with a picKit 3. In any case, I am ba...

Well I may have solved part of my problem. First off, thank you very much. I opened the attached and ran it, with the same results however. In poking around today I saw I could open PPPv3 directly and see what was actually on the chip. I could erase it, verify it was erased by looking at what was on...

OK, still trying. Just to rule out your astute 20 pin issues, I switched to the PIC18f1220 (just to be sure it wasn't that or a bad PIC). I have verified I am on XTAL and the jumpers are as noted. I know you said that the return code 0 after launching the programmer means it is getting to the chip b...

I have reviewed the common config issues (Thanks Martin!). I have verified Vdd and Vss at the chip, have chosen 20mhz and HS selected on the oscillator, MCLR is internal, and the rest of the configurable options disabled. I don't have LVP on the 16f677 so I don't believe that is an issue (although t...

OK, I am very new so I appologize for my lack of knowledge. I am programming a simple LED blinker, and it simulates just fine in flowcode. I have a 16f677 in the EB006 (8) but when I compile it seems to compile OK to C and ASM then when launching the programmer it pops up the chip config page, I hit...
