I have a test board with two PIC12F1840 and very little else. Trying to program this with a PICKIT3, it syas that the board is drawing too much current, sometimes.
I tried a different PICKIT3 with similar results.
Then I tried a PICKIT4 which works reliably, programs and debugs, with no error messages.
I changed back to one of PICKIT3's and the problem returned.
The board should only be drawing the PIC supply current (32MHz internal oscillator).
Can the PICKIT4 supply more current than the PICKIT3?
Are both 3's broken?
