Hi!
After some successful programmings of PICs for Tom's TapLFO, TAPLFO3 and some midi stuff (all from readymade HEX files) I fail to program a dsPIC for the 4seconds Tap Delay.
My setup consists of MPLAB X IPE 5.25 and an OLIMEX Pic-KIT 3 clone.
The chip is recognized by the software but the final programming fails.
Here's the message MPLAB gives out:
"Connecting to MPLAB PICkit 3...

Hi Austin,
Did you ever get this sorted out?
MPLAB is able to read the chip version correctly, so it can't be all bad. Is there anything else connected to the ICSP pins? (CLK/DAT) A pot or other load on those pins will mess up the programming. You don't say whether this is being programmed in a ZIF socket or in a circuit or where.
Yes, the other power pins also need to be connected, and the Vcap pin needs a 10uF cap from it to ground too. It stabilises the processor core voltage. Finally, watch out on the power. Are you supplying power to the chip from the PICKit3, or to the PICKit3 from the circuit?
Austin,
Best bet would be go to the Microchip forums there are a lot of smart people up there.
Thanks,
Gordon

AustinGreyson got a reply from MichaelJones. maybe if we gave them their own board, they'd talk to each other and stop bothering the rest of us.
that ElectricDruid looks suss, to.

Lol! You have no idea...;)
