Hello, folks, are you all ok?
I'm facing a problem with my DIY Pickit 2 clone made by me. I've followed the steps from these references:
Website
Reference 2
...and I've made some changes in layout (I put the most part of resistor in vertical position and added an external power supply for debugging).
After solving some problems with the bootloader, now the problem is about VDD voltage level. When I connect the USB cable on the board, the Pickit2 is recognized by PC but the Pickit2 Software 2.61v always shows me this message: Pickit2 VDD voltage level error. Check target and retry operation.
If I plug the external power supply on, the VDD voltage level error stops and the Pickit2 works perfectly.
Well, I wouldn't like to use the external power supply all the time.
Could anybody help me?
