I just updated from FC5 to version 6.

I cant get it to work with my Pickit3. The Pickit worked fine in FC5. I've set up the compiler options based on the Wiki settings for Pickit3 and dsPIC.

I can't set "Enable writing of configuration to chip" for the programer. If I enter information there it isn't saved.

The program compiles to hex fine when compiling to chip I get this error:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HEX file creation successful!

Launching the programmer...
C:\Program Files\Flowcode 6\tools\PICkit3\PK3CMD.exe "C:\Program Files\Flowcode 6\Tools\Pickit3\ -P33FJ128GP802 -FFGS_Proto_RUN_v6.hex -E -M -L -V3.3


No Part Selected, use /P<part> or -P<part>
C:\Program Files\Flowcode 6\tools\PICkit3\PK3CMD.exe reported error code 1

There is an opening double quote just before C: in the arguments, however there is no closing one. Could you check your programmer settings?

Thanks for seeing that. I added the close quote, but unfortunately I still get the same message.

I think you need to remove both quotes.

Hi clee,

I use Flowcode6 and Pickit3 here is my FCS file , you can import the file in compiler options under the build menu and see if it helps, be aware though that the -v5.0 or -v3.3 at the end is the voltage applied.

Thanks for the config file. I still have a bit of funkiness (I need to reset the Pickit every time I want to upload) but I didn't have any time to mess with it today.

Hi clee,

check this link out, your pickit might be in the wrong mode....

acestu,

Your config file worked, I successfully programed the dsPIC. When I try a second time it says something like "can't set voltage" (I'm not in front of the device ATM). Disconnecting the USB and plugging back in makes it work. I'm doing in-circuit programing so I don't need to power the chip from the PicKit.

I got my pic programed and played around with V6 a little and haven't investigated the error at all yet. Thanks for getting me up and running, I'm sure it's just a setting I need to change.

Hi clee,

Glad your up and running....

cheers

Just to follow up in case someone else lands at this tread, this is working now.

Because I'm doing in-circuit programming and don't need to power the device I deleted -V3.3 from the setup and everything works great.
