ME labs programmer won't identify the chip. Doc states that it will program a dsPIC30F4011, but when I run 'identify target' I get an error message that it cannot read the chip ID. Help files and troubleshooting have no suggestions. Anyone have experience?

I tried to program anyway, but it won't program a chip it cannot identify.

Reading the program from the dsPIC gives me all 0's, so maybe it's a good thing that it won't try to program the chip?

I built 2 different ICSP cables - no change.

Working on the encoder voltage reduction today. When I get that done I will look for the 'through hole' encoder and get it mounted on the motor shaft.

Email from Canada Post gives delivery date for PICkit 3 as Feb 27 - Mar 10 (!!) It started out inside Canada ...
