Works like my original PICkit3

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2019

Verified Purchase

I bought this because I fried my original (Microchip) brand unit. (Or so I thought, but I guess I just plugged in back into the wrong USB port, because it still works after all.) Anyway, I received this one, so I wanted to try it anyhow. From MPLAB IDE it loaded the firmware automatically after I pressed "Connect". After that, the programmer powered and verified a program I had previously programmed into the PIC. I then reprogrammed the PIC and it works perfectly. It powers the PIC target and the circuit I have it in, which is more than the original PICkit can do. What else can I say other than it does what one would expect it to do.

Not genuine Microchip, but great for the price.

This is a clone, and not an official Microchip product. I knew that on purchasing. I used it to complete a project on an Older PIC MCU, using mplab X 1.4 , after my old ICD 2 failed. Worked great for the price.

Haven't tried with newer MCUs, or or the latest version of mplab X

Easy to use and reliable pic programmer

Works great and it was easy to set up. You'll need to install the microchip MPLABX software to get it work but once I installed that, the software detected it no problem and updated the firmware on board the unit. I've successfully read and flashed several different pic microcontrollers, such as pic16f684, pic16f628a and pic12f683. After having a terrible experience with an older k150 unit, this was a breeze and a pleasure to work with.

As good as the original but that isn't saying much.

They seem to have a latch up problem; including the original make.

I keep a few of these onhand and swap them out when one stops working.

Then it starts working fine again after a while.

The one button installer and the boot loader reset both work fine.

Works but not original

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

So far have used on pic32MXx70 and pic16f1455 and it programs them fine.

Note microchip themselves do not have a pickit3.5 so although it seems compatible with the microchip IPE for programming, it may be different. I haven’t tried programmer to go yet.

One annoying feature is it doesn’t seem to be able to power the target. A real pickit is supposed to be able to supply 30ma, but it errors out on both chip families I’ve tried. Don’t know if that’s by design or just an incompatibility with the original.

Cheap USB cable faulty out of the package.

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2018

Verified Purchase

I initially thought it just took some time to load the driver for the USB device but found that it was actually a cable issue. The device powered on and loaded firmware fine after sitting for a bit (actually, based on what is following, it was probably not connecting until I set it on my workbench). I moved it a little to plug in the header, the device lost power. Set it back on the bench, power returned. Found that the provided USB cable was bad and unless held at a very specific angle, it would lose connection. Used another cable and the device appears to be fine so it does indicate that it is just a bad cable. Will keep the device and not return it but not happy that it came with a bad cable.

Mplab sees it as as pickit 3: ) works ...

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2018

Mplab sees it as as pickit 3 :) works so well. Beware the vdd target issues can be due to the usb cable length. If you experience this problem then use the shortest possible usb cable, enable the programmer voltage and (POWER the dev board from a battery phone recharge pack and not a wall wart.) the issue is because of the small V lost going back to PC and so the target and reference fail to match. Even my clean regulated psu caused errors. I assume the battery pack just has far less noise. Lm317 regulators are noisy anyway.

When the Kit3 arrived I did the recommended firmware update and so far it has run on MPLabs flawlessly.

Superb bit of kit. MPLABX recognises it as a PICkit3. No problems experienced with it. For the money, this is a bargain !!!

Programmatore conforme allo schema originale Microchip

Reviewed in Italy on August 9, 2017

Ho acquistato il programmatore ICSP della XCSOURCE PICKit 3.5 dopo aver comperato quello della Wingoneer PICKit 3.0.
Molti sono i punti a vantaggio:
1) presenza dei PTC sulle linee di uscita come protezione non presenti in quello della wingoneer
2) Led multicolore come nel modello originale che invece sono solo rossi in quello della wingoneer
3) Alimenta il PIC con una tensione di 5.12V al contrario di quello della wingoneer che ne fornisce solo 4.85V
4) Arrivato in tempi brevissimi (10gg) durante il mese di Agosto
Comunque entrambi funzionano egregiamente, provati con PIC18F4480 alimentato da PIKKit a 5V con MPLAB 8.92 su sistema operativo XP.
Ho provato anche la funzione Programmer-To-Go che è funzionante con entrambi i modelli anche se con quello della XCSOURCE le indicazioni dei led (multicolor) sono conformi alle specifiche dell'User's Guide Microchip.
