Tom's suggestion here (which seems sensible) is to use the older PICKIT2 rather than newer PICKIT3. The official PICKIT2 costs about US$35, and there are ebay clones available for US$25 upwards. The reason to use PICKIT2 (rather than PICKIT3) is that there is a free utility that allows you to take a .hex file of firmware and in-circuit-program it very simply. Tom has offered to look into this in more detail, to see if some simple instructions can be prepared.</li></ol></div><div><br></div><div>Regards, Mark.</div><div><br><div><div>On 22 Apr, 2012, at 1:37 PM, felix bonnier wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>how do I get this version into my unit?
