Got the my Pickit 3 to wired up and talking to my chips today. Wiring was really simple but had a bit of trouble initially getting it to recognize my PIC16F887. Took me awhile to figure out why I was ID errors trying to connect, but apparently I accidently specified in MPLAB that I was using a 16F877 and not the 16F887. Also set up using the 16F887 internal oscillator for the first time.
