While trying to flash pic using pickit 3, I received this message:
Protocl error: Unable to send DDS
Below are the steps I tried:
1. downloaded and installed MPLAB IDE v8.92 from this link: ( You are not allowed to view links.
Register or
Login )
2. downloaded and installed Pickit3 Stand Alone Programmer Appver 1.0
3. downloaded Express Latest Firmware
4. connect pickit 3 to my computer via USB port and to LE via ICSP port
5. plug LE to AC outlet
6. run Pickit3 Programmer
I also tried different usb ports and 3 computers. I tried installing just the Picket3 Stand alone Programmer Appver 1.0. I reinstalled Pickit3 Stand Alone Programmer Appver 1.0 and MPLAB IDE v8.92.
I purchased the Pickit3 from microchip website. could it be the pickit 3 is the problem?
