Hello,
I have one PICKit3, which worked well on my PC using MPLAB 8.92 successively with Win7 and with Win10.
Recently I used my PICKit3 with a PC under Windows VISTA and MPLAB 8.92.
After that, I wanted to connect again the PICKit3 on my PC with Win 10.
When I connected PICKit3 on USB port I saw a quick popup window relative to PICKit3, as when I connect a new USB device, but I had not enough time to read it.
Now it doesn't work as well as before.
I looked for the bootloader which is the same " PK3FW_012890.jam
" on both the PC.
Now, when I connect PICKit3 with MPLAB, see below the messages I can see on the screen depending on the PC I use:
With PC under VISTA:
PICkit 3 detected
Connecting to PICkit 3...
Running self test...
Self test completed
Firmware Suite Version...... 01.28.90
Firmware type......................PIC18F
PICkit 3 Connected.
With PC under Win 10:
1 - When I plug in PICKit3 after the PC has started:
No PICkit 3 Connected
After a try to reconnect:
PICkit 3 detected
Connecting to PICkit 3...
PK3Err0038: Failed to
initialize PICkit 3.
Failed to properly connect to PICkit 3
2 - The only way I’ve found to active PICKit3 is to plug in it before starting the PC:
PICkit 3 detected
Connecting to PICkit 3...
Firmware Suite Version...... 01.28.90
Firmware type......................Enhanced Midrange
PICkit 3 Connected.
If I plug-out and then plug in again PICKit3
it does'nt work.
It’s like when I plug in PICKit3 after the
PC has started and I have to reboot the PC with PICKit3 plugged.
I don’t understand what the trouble is and why PICKit3 works well with Win10 only if the PC boots with the PICKit3 connected.
It seems like if windows 10 recognizes this device only if it’s connected when starting.
I tried to desinstall / reinstall (automatically) the USB driver but there is no change.
I need some help to make PICKit3 working normally with my PC under Win10.
Best regards
