Well I got a pickit 3 and been playing a bit with it. I didn't have any luck with Mplab IPE it keeps failing to program a chip using the pickit to power it.
So I made a hex and then tried the pickit 3 app it wouldn't open after using IPE so i got the idea to start it without hooking up the programmer
witch let me reload the the app bootloader and firmware.
I then programed the pic with that but the power on button dosen't power the chip till I do a read then the pic blink the led.
So I'm guessing pickit 3 doesn't like powering targets.
It works but power not really good using the pickit3 I'm thinking.
