Getting rid of wrong Windows10 drivers (Clonix/Nov)
Hi all,

Since Windows 8 showed up and currently under Win10, most (if not all) Clonix/NoV users with a K149/150 USB programmer have suffered the dreaded "driver auto upgrade". Rendering their programmers useless until they take corrective action: a not always easy workaround to get the previous Win7 driver re-installed.

Further more, in many cases this is just a "temporary fix" and Windows managed to "re-upgrade" the offending Prolific driver. Really frustrating as I know first hand. :-(

Since I've been having quite a lot of spare time lately, I decided to design a simplified version of the popular PicKit2 USB programmer.

(I've tried to insert a render image, without success. Here is the link)

Image.

Originally developed by Microchip it can handle the programming task in a far more efficient way:

- About 50% faster

- No USB cable required.

- No module adapter either (PCB has its own gold plated pads to plug the module)

- No drivers required. Runs on the HID native Windows controller. (Quite like a mouse.)

- Open to new µControllers to handle new applications.

A new version of the configuration utility including the required controls to use this new programmer is also available: ClonixConfig61.exe.

There is a short demo YouTube video: here.

Feel free to comment or share.

Best wishes from the Canary Islands and keep safe.

Diego.
