Hi all,
thanks again for your input on this noobie topic
I have updated my setup to include:
- the 100nf as close to the chip as possible
- a tantalium 10uf VCAP to ground
- applied 3.3v and GND to all Vdd and Vss and AVdd and AVss pins
however still no response, just the ID = 0x0 error again.
Can anyone confirm that the readings from the two osc screenshots are correct?
Yellow = MCLR
BLUE = PGC
Yellow = MCLR
BLUE = PGD
These screenshots were taken WITHOUT the PIC24F connected, I am surprised that there are no signals coming from the pickit 3 after the MCLR drop??
Can someone confirm that this is what the Pickit 3 should be doing?
Also, this specific device
PIC24FJ128GC010 doesnt have a PIM dev board mount (which is why i decided to make my own) and the only dev board is £150+, how is one supposed to develop for this chip without shelling out for the
chip specific dev board?? this device isnt new its a fair few years old, i find it surprising how little support there is for it...
