Hello everyone.

I'm trying to follow a project ( https://www.rctech.net/forum/radio-...glass-diy-lap-timing-aka-cano-revised-58.html ) and I have already bought the components, but I'm missing the programmer for the PIC16F18313T-I/SN.

I tried for hours to find a programmer for this PIC, but I can't find one that refers to this particular chip ( PIC16F18313T-I/SN ).

Would I be able to program it with a PICKIT 3/2? I'm looking for the cheapest possible, since this is going to be a one-time thing.

Thanks in advance!

 

Leave off the ‘T’ and everything after when searching a list of supported chips. These are packaging and temperature range indicators and would not appear in a list of chips handled by a programmer. I am not familiar that specific chip, but, from the number, I assume it is fairly new. I doubt a pickit 2 or 3 will handle it.

 

Supported chips

It is supported by pickit 3,4, and 5.

 

Also depending on what code you are using, there is a version of MPLAB, e.g. MPLABX X IDE V5.35 if assembly.
I just finished a project this way, using Pickit -3 to program.
Any reason you are using this particular 8pin pic?

 

Thanks for your answers @BobTPH and @MaxHeadRoom!

@MaxHeadRoom,

I saw the last version of MPLAB compatible with the PicKit 3 is the v6.00 and that's what I downloaded. I'll order a Pickit 3 and try my luck.

I'll use the firmware from here: https://github.com/mv4wd/RCHourglass/tree/master/Firmware/Transponder . Is it compatible with the PIC I'm going to use? I don't really know.

I'm using this PIC because it's what is being used in the project: https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/xsPLwajU

Since I'm a total noob, I have to try and follow the steps.

Thanks again!

You can also use this to program it.

I know the published docs say no PicKit3 support for later versions of the IDE but support was re-added (due to user requests) in v6.05 and later.
