Hi Rob, There is a quite good software solution for Pickit3 and Pickit2 called pickitplus. I'm using this from a while and things looks quite good except maybe for some minor bugs...:) They also update the software quite frequently with newer PICs. https://sourceforge.net/projects/pickit3plus/
BTW, each time someone repairs a bug, at least three others enter inside...:) I'm happy I can't read Dutch. :) On Tue, Jun 22, 2021 at 5:16 PM Rob CJ <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I read some pages of the - part of the - book that can be found on the > Elektor website. > > For JAL it points to the JAL download site and the examples are based on > Jallib version 1.5.0, that's what the book says. > > For the programmer it talks about the XWisp and the PicKit3.
