Interfacing with pickit3 (by Andrea)
Hi every one,
I made a test project with LDmicro, then I converted IT into an .hex file. I bought a PicKit3 programmer (not original) and the socket board to connect it to the microcontroller (16f877a). I installed MPLAB IPE v6.15 and v1.70. I connected the picmicro as explained in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9V8fmQWXe4 With both versions of MPLAB IPE, It looks like it doesn't work, all three leds keep on; with v1.70 I can not enter in the POWER section. On both MPLAB versions, in the OPERATE section, I can set the pic, but not the tool. But yesterday, by reading the Pickit3 manual (https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/51795B.pdf), I realized that an external source (I think 5Volt) is probably required: the positive must be connected to both Vdd pins and the negative to both Vss pins of the picmicro....Am I right? I am a bit confused...

I can't help you with MPLAB, I always use the standalone program.
https://pickit.software.informer.com/download/#downloading With an dip adapter you do not need an external 5V, the Pickit3 can supply 30mA and that is more than enough to program a Pic.
