PicKit 3 Price in Pakistan | Dspic30f2010 Programmer with Base

The Pickit 3 is a debugger and programmer from Microchip (now Microchip Technology Inc.) used for flashing and debugging PIC® and dsPIC® microcontrollers. It connects to a PC via USB and interfaces with the target microcontroller using ICSP (In-Circuit Serial Programming).Chip.pk give Best Pickit 3 Price in Pakistan.

Programming the DsPIC30F2010 using Pickit 3

To program the dsPIC30F2010 with the PICkit 3, follow these steps:

1. Hardware Connections

The PICkit 3 connects to the dsPIC30F2010 via the 5-pin ICSP header:

⚠ Note:

• Ensure the target board is powered (either from PICkit 3 or an external supply).
• If using external power, disable the PICkit 3 power option in the software.

2. Software Setup

You need MPLAB X IDE (or MPLAB IPE) installed:

1. Download MPLAB X IDE from Microchip’s website.
2. Install the device support pack for dsPIC30F2010.

3. Programming Steps

Using MPLAB X IDE:

1. Open MPLAB X IDE.
2. Create a new project (File > New Project).
3. Select Standalone Project, then choose dsPIC30F2010 as the device.
4. Select PICkit 3 as the programmer.
5. Write your code (or import an existing .hex file).
6. Click Make and Program Device (or use the Program button in MPLAB IPE).

Using MPLAB IPE (Independent Programming Environment):

1. Open MPLAB IPE.
2. Select PICkit 3 as the tool and dsPIC30F2010 as the device.
3. Load your .hex file.
4. Click Program.

4. Troubleshooting

• “No device detected”: Check ICSP connections (MCLR, PGD, PGC).
• Power issues: Ensure the target board has stable power (3.3V/5V).
• Driver problems: Reinstall PICkit 3 drivers if needed.

Conclusion

The PICkit 3 is a reliable tool for programming dsPIC30F2010. Ensure correct ICSP connections, proper power supply, and the right software setup for successful programming.

Complete Guide to Programming dsPIC30F2010 with PICkit 3

This guide covers hardware setup, software configuration, programming steps, debugging, and troubleshooting for the dsPIC30F2010 using PICkit 3.

1. Required Components

• PICkit 3 Dspic30f2010 Programmer
• dsPIC30F2010 Microcontroller
• Breadboard / Custom PCB (with proper power supply)
• USB Cable (for PICkit 3)
• 10μF Capacitor (optional, for stability on MCLR)

2. Hardware Connections (ICSP Pinout)

The PICkit 3 connects to the dsPIC30F2010 via the 5-pin ICSP interface:

🔹 Additional Notes:

• If using external power, disable “Power target from PICkit 3” in MPLAB.
• A 0.1μF decoupling capacitor between VDD & GND improves stability.
• A 10μF capacitor on MCLR helps prevent reset issues.

4. Writing & Compiling Code

A. Sample Blink LED Code (dsPIC30F2010)

#include <xc.h>

// Configuration Bits (Set in MPLAB X Configurations)  
#pragma config FOSC = FRC      // Internal Fast RC Oscillator  
#pragma config WDT = OFF       // Watchdog Timer OFF  

#define LED LATBbits.LATB0     // LED on RB0  

void delay_ms(unsigned int ms) {  
    while (ms--) {  
        __delay32(16000);      // Approx 1ms @ FRC (7.37MHz)  
    }  
}  

int main() {  
    TRISB = 0x0000;           // Set PORTB as output  
    LATB = 0x0000;            // Clear PORTB  

    while (1) {  
        LED = 1;              // Turn ON LED  
        delay_ms(500);  
        LED = 0;              // Turn OFF LED  
        delay_ms(500);  
    }  
    return 0;  
}

B. Compile the Code

• Click Clean and Build (Shift+F11) to compile.
