Add Programmer Pickit 4

[GauchoMatrero]

Actually this is not a bug, but a wish.

I'm using Sloeber 4.4.1 and works fine for me, but I would like to use my Pickit4 programmer with Sloeber.

Unlike AVR Dragon that has an uncompatible USB driver, Pickit 4 works fine not only with Atmel Studio, now Microchip Studio, where it can be used for debugging.

Avrdude supports it, also Averdudess, so I think it can be added in new Sloeber revisions.

It's a nice feature for me using a number of attinys, and atmegas, not in the standard Arduino board.

Carlos

Thanks. I've already modified my system, but it's not standard. I copied the last avrdude executable file and configuration to the corresponding packages/avrdude. and added the following lines: pickit4_isp.name=Pickit 4 ISP (AVR) pickit4_isp.communication=usb pickit4_isp.protocol=pickit4_isp pickit4_isp.program.tool=avrdude pickit4_isp.program.tool.default=avrdude pickit4_isp.program.protocol=pickit4_isp #pickit4_isp.program.extra_params=-Pusb -c pickit4_isp #pickit4_isp.usbpid = 0x2177, 0x2178, 0x2179; To the ...avr\1.8.6\ programmers.txt programmers.sloeber.txt This works fine, but only in the 1.8.6 arduino version, and If I install a new version, this changes will be whipped out. That's why I suggested to add this new and cheap programmer/debugger. Of course this is simpler to use than an external tool un microchip studio 7 external tools. BTW once had a AVR Dragon, and you can use it only on AVR environment, and also i was so fragile it blew up beyond repair after a few months use.
