I bought a PK3 some months ago & used it to programme a 16F1708 via MPLAB 8.92.
(I have MPLABX but have not worked out how the use it fully & did not want to waste time climbing the learning curve). 8.92 does all I want.
However, the programming software I have used for years (WINPIC) does not include the 16F1708. So I had to buy the PK3
Yesterday, I tried to use PK3 again to do another 16F1708 and received the "Target device ID (0x0) does not match ......0" message.
I connected my scope to the Vpp (without the PIC installed) and found it was only 4.4 Volt rather than the required 8 ~ 9 Volt. I checked the hardware and it was OK.
I also tried to programme a 12F675 but received the same message.
It would be excellent if someone knows how to enter the 16F1708 into WINPIC.
Any advice will be appreciated.
