Troubleshooting section of the PICkit™ 1 FLASH Starter Kit User’s Guide, (DS40051).
5.2.1
Question:
I see the green POWER LED lit and the yellow BUSY LED extinguished, but there’s no
power to the rfPIC receiver or transmitter module. What is wrong?
Answer:
The green POWER LED tells you that there is power supplied to the PICkit Starter Kit
from the USB cable and that the programming side of the PICkit Starter Kit is powered
(the PIC16C745). The yellow BUSY LED tells you if power is being supplied to the
device under test. Since you mentioned that the yellow BUSY LED is extinguished, this
says that there is no power to the device under test.
Make sure that the DEVICE POWER checkbox (Figure 5-1) on the PICkit GUI is
checked. This feature allows you to control the device under test power from the PICkit
GUI.
