TK3Link  v1.04
=======

This application provides an interface between PDS and TK3 Toolkit PIC programmer.

TK3Link acts as the programmer by transfering the hex and asm files compiled by PDS along 
with the PIC type used in the code. Once this information has been transferred, TK3 Toolkit 
will be automatically launched.



Installation
------------

Put the tk3link.exe file into your TK3 toolkit folder and run PDS.

Create a new programmer in PDS and select the file tk3link.exe as your programmer file.

When it asks for parameters, enter the following..

$long-hex-filename$ $target-device$ $long-asm-filename$




Operation
---------
 
The areas that should be populated in Tk3 is the hex file within the "programming" area... 
which means you should be able to click on the send button and program the pic.
 
Other areas include the "assembly" section which should be populated with the ASM file and 
this can be confirmed by clicking on the "Edit asm" button.
 
Lastly the pic type within the "Select Pic" area should have the correct pic used in PDS 
along with the correct amount of command and bytes.
 
 
Please let me know how you get on... if you run into problems please email the 
tk3settings.txt file within the TK3 folder and let me know which OS and PIC types you are using.
