Supporting Q series PIC

[MikeBZH]

I think we reach about the same conclusion.
May be will I stay will my current 26K22 for now.

But for the future I feel quite difficult to find a solution as convenient as the one we had ...

To work with the newer Qxx PICs, all parts must be capable; MPLABX must be new enough to be able to work with it, PBP of course must have the files for it, but also the programmer must be compatible. The older PICkit2 programmers quit working on the latest PICs years ago. More recently, support for the PICkit3 has been dropped. Everything is available to work with most of the newer Qxx PICs. I never played with the Q10 but have done quite a bit with the Q43's.

MPLABX v5.35 is the newest version that still works with PBP. The current version is 6.00 and has been out since January (and there were a couple versions in between). In a conversation with Charles, he said the Q83/4 was released post Xv5.35 and therefore are not PBP compatible, because MPLABX v5.35 doesn't have the files to work with them.
