I originally posted about a memory config error when trying to read a chip I had just programmed. I reset the Pickit3 and that problem seems to be gone. However, I have an SSC that will not take a program with the SS Utilty. Pickit3 programming goes smooth but when I go to set the start channel, only the first light is a dim blue.
What I've done:
Tried a different string
Swapped big chip and small chip
Retouched all solder joints
Compared layout to known working SSC
tested for power in and out 12v
Tested for data <5 volts
I'm assuming based on my troubleshooting the problem is on the board and not a wiring or programming issue. Is the more testing I can do to figure this out? Also have programmed other SSC's without issue. It's just this one.
