USING PICkit 3 PROGRAMMER-TO-GO

To use PICkit 3 Programmer-To-Go to program a target device once it has been set up,

follow the steps below.

1. Connect a USB power source as discussed in Section 6.2 “USB Power for

PICkit 3 Programmer-To-Go” to the PICkit 3 unit.

2. Ensure the PICkit 3 “Power” LED is lit. The “Active” LED blinks once to indicate

the unit is in Programmer-To-Go mode and ready to program.

3. Connect the PICkit 3 unit ICSP connector to the target. Ensure the target is

powered properly if not powering from PICkit 3.

4. Press the PICkit 3 push button to begin programming.

During the programming operation the PICkit 3 “Status” LED will turn orange and

remain lit continuously while the operation takes place.

When the programming operation is complete, the PICkit 3 unit will provide feedback

on the operation via the unit LEDs. A green “Status” LED indicates a successful

operation. Red indicates a programming failure. See Table 6-2 for the feedback codes.
