I have had a look at the excellent wiki
(and trawled the Forum, so sorry if it already there).
http://www.matrixtsl.com/wiki/index.php ... ming_Tools
and at the microchip datasheet (attached).
From this I expected changing, the FC 6 Programmer Parameters to:
-P$(chip) -F$(target).hex -E -M -V5.000
would give 5v power, no luck FC gives error 5 (vs error 2 for unpowered).
How can I power the PicKit3 when using FC6?
Thanks.
ps I'm using windows 7, 64 bit

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the detailed post Makes my job much easier.
You could try these to see if they make any difference.
-P$(chip) -F$(target).hex -E -M -V5
-P$(chip) -F$(target).hex -E -M -V5.0
-P$(chip) -F$(target).hex -E -M -V5.0 -I
Let me know how you get on.
I seem to remember a niggle with the powering of the PICkit 3 but not sure if it ever got solved. From memory Microchip said they had intentionally added it because the PICkit 2 had damaged some hardware but I never had any problems with it.

Hi Ben,
Thanks for the fast response; adding
-V5.0 works.
For reference, at the Build - Compiler Options - Programmer entry we need:
Location
...D:\Flowcodev6\tools\PICkit3\PK3CMD.exe (or whatever the system needs)
Parameters
-P$(chip) -F$(target).hex -E -M -V5.0
To cut a long story short I also tried several chips and the 'proof' came from a known good circuit with a known good program. Some other combinations gave other errors.
A list of what the error codes for FCv6 mean may be useful for future reference.
Thanks
Mark
