Sorry. Change 'boot' to 'start the application with the programmer attached to the chip/circuit'.

Yes. You cam, easily, end up with corrupted firmware as the PK2 or pk3 searches through the chip families. I can tell you the exact circumstances – it essentially changing from the chip families with MSB to non MSB chip family and you use Automatic Search OR Tools/Communication AND NOT manual chip selection This rule is ONLY applicable to the released versions of the PK+ database. PK- changed the database and made the situation a lot worse where you can whack a chip with ease.
Old programmer and old firmware does not resolve.
PK+CommandLine and PK4 resolve this. It makes you select the chip. You take the responsibility for chip selection and PK4 even warns you of the danger.
Pk2 is better that PK3. PK4 is different from PK2 and PK3 and the PK4 is not the best. We are working to gain access to the PK4 protocols to write our software for the PK4.

Hope this helps.

Evan, I would say: do not boot your PC with Pickit2 connected to the USB. Why? because there are chances to end with corrupted firmware. It happened once. Fortunately having an old programmer and the firmware may solve this possible issue.

Pickit2 seems better than pickit3. Pickit4 is better than any previous ( maybe because it's Atmel based ? :P ) but its software stinks^3.

I know how the software works.

The formal position is. Do not connect a pk3 or pk2 to the circuit and then star the Windows application with AutoDectect checked.

Why? The software will control the PK3 or Pk2 with respect to 3v3 for a specific chip. But, if AutoDectect is checked and the previous chip is use is a non 3v3 chip then the Pk3 ot Pk2 will apply 5v0 during the detection process.

So, best practice. Use manual selection of the chip and do not use Auto Detect when using a 3v3 circuit.

It should be noted that the PICKits also program "LF" devices. So, programming at 3.3V should not be a problem. Do brownout settings have to be changed?

Hello all,

Thanks for your answers so it is save to run the PIC (and the rest) on 3.3 Volt and program the PIC in-circuit with my PICkit3.

I will give it a try since it saves me a lot of level shift connections and wires on the breadboard.

Thanks again.

Kind regards,

Rob

Pickit2/Pickit2+ (Evan's firmware/software) works ok as you described. I guess will be no issue on Pickit3 either.
best wishes,

I use PICKit3 ICSP with a 3.3v circuit. I haven't had any problems.

Hi all,

I have a question about a PICKit3 programmer. Instead of trying it out and blowing up my programmer I thought I ask you.

I often have a device that operates at 3.3. Volt and the PIC running at 5 Volt. I use level shifters to get then connected. I program my PIC in-circuit so I do not remove it from the breadboard.

I can run the PIC at 3.3. Volt so that I do no longer need any level shifters.

My question is the following. Can I reprogram my PIC in-circuit when it is running at 3.3 Volt or will I kill the PIC?

Are there any issues I should take into account, e.g. only use Low Voltage Programming or 'do not try this at all!'?

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Rob
