communicating with board

[vinay shabad]

hii i am very new to microcontroller programming i am presently working on PIC24F16KA102 with MPlab and C30 compiler.I wrote this code but this code is building successfully but when i connect to hardware its not communicating with board

#include "p24F16KA102.h"

int main(void)
{
TRISBbits.TRISB3 = 0;
LATBbits.LATB3 = 1;

while(1) {}

}


its showing error as


The target device is not ready for debugging.
Please check your configuration bit settings and program
the device before proceeding.



please can someone help me to get rid of this problem thankyou in advance.

if you are trying to communicate through UART, what is the baud rate you set.Have you changed and tried.

i am using PICKIT 3

 

[horace1]

using MPLAB if you click on Programmer then Select Programmer the PicKit 3 what does it say?
e.g. don't have a PicKit 3 here but my ICD3 talking to a PIC24FJ64GB002 says

MPLAB ICD 3 detected
Connecting to MPLAB ICD 3...
Firmware Suite Version...... 01.26.33
Firmware type......................dsPIC33F/24F/24H
MPLAB ICD 3 Connected.
Target Detected
Device ID Revision = 00000002

can you do blank check, erase, program, etc.

Under the top menu:

Project -> Build Configuration -> Debug

Make sure the Build configuration is set to Debug not Release.

Also make sure the PICkit 3 is selected as the Debugger Tool:

Top Menu: Debugger -> Select Tool -> PICkit 3

You can program the device for debugging, but you can't debug with the programmer!

Hope this helps.

Also, make sure you have the PIC24F16KA102 selected under:

Configure -> Select Device..-> PIC24F16KA102

And your Configuration Bits are set properly for the device and debugging, under Configure Menu.
