Adding picKIT to MICROCODE STUDIO

[mister_e]

Yikes, sorry i don't know for PICKIT1.. but PICKIT2 have command line and it's pretty easy to add it to MCS.

Maybe you could try with Piklab?

I just got my PicKit2 and it is the best $40 I have spend for quite some time.

You will need to download the command line tool from the Microchip site - do a search for PKCMD2.exe. You can then call it from MCS using the following command line:
/PPIC$target-device$ /F$hex-filename$ /M -h3

I currently use my other USB programmer in ICSP mode (DIY Kiys K150) to program and use the PicKit 2 as a logic analyser. Its fantastic !

Oops, just noticed you have the PicKit 1 - sorry not sure....

Thanks I tried the PK2CMD and the command line paramters you posted, but it didn't work for me.

I searched the MICROCHIP website and there was nothing else for PicKit1, It is not too
big of a deal, it is just a couple of extra steps to use the CLASSIC

I did not have much luck.

No problem having MCS start PICKIT Classic.
The first entry in the setup at Program Filename = PICKit1 Classic.exe
next the program path = c:\program files\microchip\pickit 1 v2
next is the parameters. That is the problem

The classic program will default to the last directory that a hex was loaded from.

will open the file load dialog, but I can not remember how to have it select the file.

Sorry I was not any help.
