I cannot program the target with my PSoC 6 Pioneer board.

Often the target is not recognised by the programmer and when it does it starts programming and fails half way.

LEDs 2 & 4 very erratic.

The KitProg 3 is always shown in Windows Device Manager.

I followed a suggestion I saw online to uninstall the driver and then re-install but that did not help.

I opened up PSoC programmer and noticed that the Voltage reading on the programmer tab was visibly flatulating all over the place.

PSoC programmer once told me that I needed to upgrade which I did successfully, but the problem still existed.

Any ideas anybody please?

Hi StMa_3607891​,

A couple of debug steps -

  1. VDD Select Switch SW5 should be in the middle position (3.3V)
  2. Switch SW7 (back of the Kit) should be VDDD/KitProg2
  3. Power monitor jumper J8 needs to be connected.
  4. KitProg3 should be in BULK mode. You get find information regarding the KitProg3 LED status here - KitProg3 User Guide

If this does not help, please share the screenshot of PSoC Programmer when you try to program the device.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Rakshith,

Thanks man, it seems to work now. It must have been SW7 which all by itself decided to slide all the way to the other side!
