EEVblog #841 – Microchip MPLAB X PICkit 3 Woes

Dave and David2 battle to get an old Microchip PICkit 3 working with MPLAB X talking to Dave’s new product.
A tale of misery, rabbit holes, Murphy, facepalms, and ultimately success. You get a warts and all journey.
A good example of how a tool that should have just worked, turned into a nightmare due to some bad luck and poor tool protocol and mode compatibility.
