Tumbleweed, with PK2 or PK3 you can't programm 18FxxK40. ( read here :https://www.microchip.com/forums/m1011325.aspx ) . A simple way for standalone programmer is upgrade to PicKitPlus ( http://gcbasic.sourceforge.net/Types...php/pickitPlus ) or choice another programmer ( like NSDSP )

[tumbleweed]

The PK3 will program the K40 and K42 just fine... it's just that the standalone app doesn't support them and you have to use MPLABX or the X IPE/command-line tools to do it.

I applaud the guy for doing the PicKitPlus but I'm not going to pay $ for what I can already do for free, especially when he's charging almost half of what the tool cost originally.

I'm not sure what he was thinking.

I purchased the PicKitPlus as a last resort to program some 16F1788s for a project. Stuffed around with MPLABX and X IPE for a week trying to make that solution work - gave up and purchased the tool. Ever since I use nothing but PicKitPlus now. Haven't touched my PicKit3 since... haven't needed to. I highly recommend it as I know anything PBP supports, it will too.
