My programmer is on the mend and just like last time, it was giving inconsistent feedback. The programming steps would start with me erasing the data on the microcontroller, check to verify it is really blank before I can program it.

20230714 PICkit 5 is here!
Well, well. How time flies! More than two decades ago, I was using a PicStart Plus programmer for the PIC microcontrollers. Very quickly, the model was considered as a matured product a decade later.

At first, I thought it was the plug-in programming cable but after using my DIY Programmer adaptor, it was […]
