Hi Vasile, I know software is not bug free. I had no other connections to the programmer pins. It could be a bad connection (although IPE from MPLABX had no problem.
I will try again later to see if the problem persists. Sometimes it helps to just restart the programmer software.

No issues. However, until I get the hex I cannot assure you. There may be issues in the format of the hex thru to physical issues. We have very robust test beds that rule out physical issues, so, can focus on the software. Your call to send to me for assurance.

I have never heard about such a thing... :) Assuming your pickit3 software and companion definition file is compatible with PIC16F8857, your problem might be from an incorrect connection to ICSP or heavily loaded iclk and dat lines. One option is to "filter" those lines with 200ohm-680ohm resistors in series between the pic and your load, while your programmer stays connected directly to the PIC ICSP lines using as short as possible cable ( aka 20-30cm). The other issue I saw is the USB cable length and quality.

I am looking at a problem I have with my PIC16F18857. It goes haywire when the code size becomes large (> 16 Kbyte). I did not yet find the root cause but I ran into another issue with the PicKit minus software. Although I am normally able to program the PIC16F18857 with this software it gives the following error when programming this large program (see attachment). It seems that the program is programmed correctly but still you do not want this type of error. The problem does not occur when using MPLABX IPE. So maybe better go for Evans PICKit Plus Software, not free but I assume bug free ... Kind regards, Rob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jallib" group.
