Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

a quick question for anyone who is using mplab X. if a pickit3 has been downgraded with scripting firmware (effectively turning it into a pickit2), is mplab X able to restore the pickit3 firmware without need for any additional software?
the reason i ask: i am musing over the idea of adding support to pic32prog to allow it to load the scripting firmware onto an attached pickit3. however, this would be an issue if mplab X was not able restore the pickit3 to original functionality.
yes, i do realize that microchip provides a standalone utility (dating back to 2012) to do this.
