It seems this works fine with two genuine Pickit3s but not with clones as these all have the same serial number. I have a genuine Pickit3 but a misconnect blew something. So I now have two clones. Does anyone know how to change the serial on these clones? Is it part of the firmware that can be reloaded? I notice on the genuine board a 6 pin connector for programming, also a 5 pin on the clones.
If anyone is interested, as a work around, I have done the following.
I run two different versions of MPLAB.X - 3.55 & 3.65.
I have the two Pickit3 connected to a hub with switches.
I can now quickly switch between the two projects by pushing two buttons and switching windows.
When I get time I will see if I can get the source code for the PK3 and see if it contains a serial number and try reprogramming one of my clones.
