Using PICKit 3 with Flowcode v5


NOTE: When using PICKIT3 with Flowcode, please name your fcf files without spaces, underscores are allowed.

To allow PICkit 3 to work with Flowcode 5 you must first copy the contents of the archive below into your "Flowcode\v5\Tools" folder which is normally located at "C:\Program Files\".

Then in Flowcode click on Build >> Compiler options and navigate to the Programmer tab.

Set the Programmer location to:
C:\Program Files\Flowcode\V5\Tools\PICkit3\pk3cmd.exe

Or on a 64-bit machine
C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode\V5\Tools\PICkit3\pk3cmd.exe

Set the Programmer parameters to:
-P%p -F%f.hex -E -M

or for 16-bit PICs
-P%p -F%f.hex -E -M -L

This configures the PICkit 3 to program the target devices using the project hex file. The PICkit will erase the device, fully program the device and then verify the data has been programmed correctly onto the device.

To allow PPP to provide configuration settings simply leave the Use external program to set config options setting ticked and leave the details as.

Location
C:\Program Files\Flowcode\V5\Tools\PPP\PPPv3.exe

Parameters
-cs 2 -chip PIC%p -config

Some users have reported problems when using the settings listed above. They get the error "hex file not found".
Changing the programmer parameters to this seems to fix this problem.
-P%p -F"%f.hex" -E -M -L
