Hi Ben

I like what I have noticed so far. FC8 is faster and has better update features. Also, I can easily compile a few FC7 programs.
But I have a problem with the PICkit3
I tried to config similar to the FC7. Unfortunately, neither 7 nor 8 ... goes to the compile to chip

Hello,

PK3CMD is now very old and out of support, also I don't think it works with PIC32 devices.

The good news is that the IPE tool from Microchip which is part of MPLABX does a similar job and is under support.

We have details on how to set this up and use it here.

Let us know if you have any problems.

Hi Ben

Thank you for the help.
PICkit3 using MPLABX IPE (NEW) is working fine with Flowcode 8, PICkit3 and PIC32
Would it be possible to post the info for PICkit4 and ICD4 too?

regards

Stefan

Hi Stefan,
Looking at this post,
We need to wait for a MPLAB x update from Microchip.
