Hello PICLIST=20

I have several ICD3 debuggers. I have a products that use the PIC18F4580 an=
d products that use PIC16F57. I have been programming these using the MPLAB=
X IDE. I use the same ICD3 for the PIC16F57 and go back and forth between t=
he two controllers. Now I am having USB issues that I usually have no probl=
em with.=20

I use the MPLABX IDP for the PIC16F57.=20

Here is the output window:=20

Transmission on endpoint 2 failed=20

I use the IDE for the PIC 18F4580. For years I could program with no issues=
.. Recently this problem has appeared before I realized. I lost my baseline =
of know good boards. So I am suspicious of the hardware, the AP that is loa=
ded into the ICD3 for the PIC18F4580, and my own code.=20

I checked the MCLR/Vpp pin. It has a 2K pull up with no cap or diode. It ha=
s worked well in the past.=20

>From the output window for MPLABX IDE:=20

Transmission on endpoint 2 failed=20
Connection Failed.=20
If the problem persists, please disconnect and reconnect the ICD 3 to the U=
SB cable. If this does not fix the problem verify that the proper MPLAB X U=
SB drivers have been installed.=20

So, then I run (as administrator) the MPLAB Driver switcher=20

MPDDSwitch64, v1.04.03=20

Plug in ONLY the tools you want switched. All other tools should be unplugg=
ed.=20

Real ICE driver not changed.=20

utes)...=20
No error=20
PM3 driver not changed.=20
PIC32 SK driver not changed.=20
Apply Changes done=20

Then, I try the IDE with the PIC18F4580 again.=20

ICD3 was unloaded while still busy. Please unplug and reconnect the USB cab=
le before using ICD 3 again.=20

Earlier, I was able to program 10 units out of the 68 that I needed. So it =
has been very frustrating.=20

Has there been similar experiences with MPLABX IDE or the PIC18F4580?=20

Best regards to the PICLIST=20
