The PICkit's power light lights up when I plug it in, otherwise nothing happens. I probably didn't read something that I should read, but for now I'm just trying to program a 10F220 withn empty or simple program (like blinking a LED). I was hoping someone with more experience could give me some advice. There are lots of tutorials out there, but they are all for different, older versions of the IDE and IPE.

Is this because PICkit2 is not longer supported? Should I download an older version of IPE? The user guides are not very helpful (though I have just skimmed through them). I can compile an empty generated project to a hex file succesfully, but MPLAB IPE won't let me select my PICkit2 (the 'tools' dropdown menu stays empty). I downloaded the MPLAB X IDE (newest, v3.45) and the compiler for 8-bit microcontrollers, the XC8. I also have some 10F220's laying around that I want to program. Hi there, I recently bought a PICkit2 clone.
