I have only been using it for about 5 minutes. Programmed three devices and then it bricked itself. Google searching shows this to be a problem, some think it is OS / chipset related. Well.. Microchip, this PICkit 3 I have is a steaming piece of dog turd. Genius. My new PICkit 3 just bricked.. I have only been using it for about 5 minutes.

If only I can get a refund on the PICkit 2 that I bought last month to program PIC32's-- Didn't know it was a no-go until I tried in MPLAB. THAT hasn't changed, has it?

Maybe I can just modify it myself. 3) How about the serial analyzer and debugger function? I need to wait? So what happen to the older unit I bought early of this year.
