Thanks lets see if we can get it into the wiki where it belongs. Right now the wiki is locked from edits since Rick is gone and we do not have our watch dog keeping the spammers at bay. But he will be back in a few days.

Yes I got the kit from J1sys, I have set it up according to this info:
* Programming Lynx DMX Dongle v2.0.pdf in first post in this thread.
I plugged it in & have a red led lighting. How do I test ?
Keep having error messages in Vixen. Do I need a controller hooked up ? Or can I test somehow without the controller ? In device manager I have USB serial port (com4) & verified driver is FTDI version 2.8.12.0
Following the instruction. Seemed simple enough except I keep getting this message after importing the hex.
New firmware must be downloaded for PICkit3 to work with the part selected.
When I click ok i get unhandled exception occured with these details:

Were you able to finish programming the PIC and verify a Checksum of 0A6F?
An illuminated red LED indicates that power is applied to the dongle.
You don't need a controller to do a preliminary operational test, Bill's instruction video shows how to do this using Vixen and verifying the comport. When testing the green LED should illuminate and change intensity when testing.

Thanks NavyGator for posting the very easy to follow How-To. <res.
I received my PICKIT 3 today and programed my PIC with no problems. ;D
