#How to use pickit 3 how to#
Programming isn't a complicated business so why is the interface so? It also doesn't seem to autodetect the device connected, there is no indication as to whether the device is powered or how to enable or disable internal power, and no obvious way to auto-import. The interface is so much more complicated to use - unnecessarily so. I downloaded and installed it and instantly disliked it. I went back and looked again today and found there is something called the MPLab IPE which seems to be intended to be an alternative. The supported device list hasn't changes for ages, indeed there have been no updates for a while. What is confusing me is that Microchip no longer seem to be updating this app with newer PIC devices. Has useful features such as automatic device identification, it can check if the device is powered or not and you can set it to monitor the selected hex file and automatically re-flash the PIC if you recompile.

I tend to generate code outside of MPLab - I use Swordfish which works better using the provided IDE rather than integrating it with MPLab. I'm wondering, is there something I've missed, or have Microchip totally dropped the ball with something simple and basic - the ability to use the PICKit 3 to actually program hardware? I use the PICKit 3 stand-alone programming app. Programming using a PICKit 3 - new device support
