https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/24f96aa7-264f-4595-b03b-a61c04a42603 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.
