And this came true... Atmel and Microchip are now ONE....
I cant believe that i fell for this in October...
I was lapping this up like the young player I am then I read the comments. I TRUSTED YOU DAVE!!!
Well, it worked, it just took some time and I sped up the footage a bit.
Damn you dave, I was so excited up until I realized what day it was. I was picturing a beautiful world of cross platform support and universal programmers that cost $5.
It is indeed a DSO Nano, they sent me one for review.
Oh wow this is incredible news Dave! Thanks for letting us know.
It's on their website. But if you can't find it, phone up Atmel and ask for it.
Dave, I love your creativity ;-)
Some serious avr and pic tutorial serial from Dave would be nice... I think also the view numbers would boost up. I know it's need more effort, then mailbag sessions, but could be really appreciated.
Beautifully done Dave. All the effort is highly appreciated.
I was so happy...for a brief momentum I was genuinely happy and giddy with joy....
Great one Dave! Way more realistic than the last one, you almost had me!
You had my hopes up there for a moment ;)
Nice one, Dave. You had me going there for a sec!
It would be nice if the status bar graph actually worked though!
TI refused to be part of the new agreement.
Very nice! Big thanks Dave!
I've heard that, but have not used it yet as I've been using AVR for quite some time. I tried the IPE with PICKit 3 and it didn't work. Only the PICkit 3 software seemed to work. So yeah, seems buggy.
Almost entire day passes without someone fooling me, and now at the end I just got owned! LOL! Hats of for Dave!
I am always waiting for this day to see other ingenuity:)
And yes you did get me until I realised it was april fools day yesterday here in uk, you had me till the last 30 seconds lol good one
2 guns looks like a bad ass movie!! thanks for the ads, lol.
I’m still saddened by the merger, predicable that there has been almost no innovation in the uC world since and prices remain far too high for the current market space. Hopefully they keep the tool chains top notch and free as that is basically all they have. I started as a PIC fan and migrated to AVR because of little to no decent support for C and JTAG. Motorola was king, then Freescale and now it’s what NXP. What a mess, at least they’ve managed to be smart and keep the product lines separated. And now the FPGA space is a real mess, tool chains aren’t maintained unless you invest heavily in tools, seems Xilinx is totally dependent on military contracts so they’ll fail with one canceled defense contract. Intel has Altera... most of the new stuff is so buried under NDAs... ah I’m just glad I was around in the golden age.
this is awesome. i have wanted to get into microcontrollers but dint know which one to choose. now i dont have to choose between pic and avr.
Actually, Microchip started to support Arduino concept. Others may say that they did that on their own interest, but then I would say that they did that without removing the AVR compiler and libraries. So, Dave didn't fooled us completely...
Fell for this 8 years later
happy april 1st dave
Damn, I trust so much in you.
Good one
Happy april dave, very good. I guess the pickit3 was plugged into another usb port we couldn't see then!
Everyone! Call Atmel for the new software!
the most momentous announcement since Dick Smith solved Sydney's water problems in 1978
Hello Dave,
When you do get around to reviewing the DSO Nano, be sure to install the "Benf 3.64" firmware first (or after you review the stock firmware). Some clever and generous person named Ben really spent a LOT of his personal time improving the functionality of this low bandwidth pocket scope.
Awesome! Smart move on their part.
Here we are in 2021 with a PICKIT 4 that DOES program both PIC and AVRs lol
Does it work with the Turbo Encabulator too?
I would love to see that Ucalc working
Huh? It didn't crash crash when writing, it worked just fine.
All jokes aside, it is possible to program AVR's via Pickit (2). Just google it! Although, it is really buggy, I managed to brick an AVR by disabling serial programing with wrong fuse setting (actually, right fuse setting, but the Pickit screwed up the writing data). I later found out that not all the AVR's are supported. Don't have any experience with the Dragon, though.
Notice that we never see the other side of the laptop. There could be a PICkit 3 plugged in programming some chip.
Dave, at least your consistent. Predictable, but consistent.
It says posted March 31, and what day comes after that?
Lol got me too. There was a nagging thought as to why you had to 'waste time' showing when you plugged in the usb, but I got caught up in the video and disregarded it, ha ha.
Hi EEVblog.
Could you tell me if the PICkit4 supports the PIC16F716?
I can't find a cheap programmer to program the PIC16F716.
Thank you very much and greetings.
I don't like these April jokes in UA-cam. It may be funny when it's just released (i.e. when it is still April), but considering it stays on the channel forever, someone (like me in this case) can come and whatch it in mid-July for example. Makes you check whether you are being fooled all year round, which is not funny at all.
And to those who want to tell me there is a date under the video, try watching it on SMART TV (where there is no date).
First, I think Dave could / should put the date on his videos at the end. Date it in the last 10 seconds where he has the credits. Doesn't need to be big but it's nice to know as the "published" UA-cam date doesn't help if the creator re-posts it at a later date for some reason. It would also help, as you describe, viewing on another device that doesn't always show the date and descriptions.
However... is it really required:
1) because everything on the internet for the other 364 days of a year is true.
2) because Dave's never done an April fools joke before.
3) if it's too good to be true it likely is.
I think not.
a good way to do this is add "april fools" to the title a day after
Initial reports are that the PICkit 4 is petty good.
The PICkit 3 standalone software is a pain in the butt. It freezes, cannot restore connection after disconnectiong the PICkit, it takes as much time to program a few bytes as it takes to program the whole memory space. Programming from MPLAB is wayyyy better.
GREAT announcement by the way, thank you.
Yeayea and you can program with it using Java directly translated to assembler!
You nearly got me there :) . Only one issue: Google does not say anything and neiter does Microchips or atmils site. You probably had a PICKit 3 on the other side of your computer connected to a real PIC
Very good, i like it. UA-cam counts 499 videos here btw, Next will be the big 500, woohoo. Or maybe not all the videos are counted in Germany since some of them might be censored away, who knows.
Imho aprils fools joke videos should add [april fools] to the title after april the 1st is over...
great vid as always dave, thumbs up!
entertaining AND very informative!
keep em coming!
"winner winner chicken dinner" :-)
Ahhh, got me on this one Dave ! :D
We never got to see the OTHER side of the laptop where the pickit was plugged in (to allow the software to work)....
Damn, you got me xD god job Dave!
Someone went and added pickit4 to the wikipedia page of pickit, referring to this video. It is undone now, but google can still find it at the first place!
Now I really want to see your next video because I have no idea how you made this cool hack or whatever you used.
Is there going to be an update on the uClac? I'd love to have one working in my pocket...
That was certainly a red letter day.
Hi Dave,
When are you going to produce videos about microControllers and programming them ? :)
Sadly, I was brought here by the release of Pickit 4, after the merge of Microchip and Atmel, so maybe Dave should consider to "repurpose" this video. As mentioned elsewhere, I watched this on a smart TV, and April's fool is not a real thing in my country. Besides that, it is not funny.
Yeah right, when hell freezes over!
I'd like to see what's plugged in the other usb ports...
And then a few years later the PicKit4 came out, and started bricking Pic16s
I watch the video and was very happy!! Then I saw the top comment saying it was a joke... then I was very sad. So which is it?!?! You shouldn't toy with a man's emotions!
I wonder if Microchip will do a video response like they did they last time you poked them??????
Where are the promised videos with Doug F.?
Dave, did you ever do a review of the avr dragon?, i can't seem to remember being one and it's full of lfat chips that thing...
Not so keen on that it makes windows think the program is frozen during read/write. The rest is pretty awesome though. Do you think the pickit4 is going to be better like the 2 again, or still the difference with the 3?
OK, so this was an April Fools joke. But Dave, why did you give up on the uCalc? It looks great. Were you able to get the cap touch buttons to work?
Well, yeah, take those reports with a grain of salt, obviously.
I'm planning to get one, would you recommend it as a first oscilloscope?? where can I read your review?
Thirst thing that also crossed my mind.
So now PicKit4 are all-in-one tool to program both PIC and AVR parts (Microshipts)? Anyone can confirm, as I cant find official information about that, maybe I'm googling it wrong.
Straight up April's fool. Makes no sense whatsoever, except the companies' management have just gone nuts.
don't scratch you balls after touching chili-pepper...
Oh man I didn't realise this was an April fools until now
Lol maybe next year they'll even be able to fully debug each others chips?
I mean "First", that's what happens when i post on UA-cam after just waking up and not waiting until my brain is fully booted...
@7:33 software says not responding, just like atmels marketing department by tomorrow.
Hey Dave: the PICKit 4 is out, and the Microchip video [and literature] is crap, because it doesn't answer that one big question [at least *MY* one big question]: did they go the extra mile, and make it as nice as the PICKit 2 was -- e.g. _automagically detecting which device it's connected to._ So, help me Obi-Dave, you're my only hope!!
Australia might be a day ahead of your location
omg, this calculator looks cool... any chance you will try again to finish it?
oh carp! what is april 1st in Australia yesterday?!!
i just realized that this is probably a joke.
How would this work though, because avr (3x2) header uses SPI, Microchip pics use an i2c type interface. So actually dave saying that PK3 hardware will not be upgraded makes it somewhat more believeable.
I am dissapointed. I would love to see those kits, because they would save me some money and give me the chance to try out some PIC µC's in the future.
Dave - this aprils fools joke wasnt ok. *sniff* :_(
hehehe, good one :)
Apparently pickit 4 will communicate using WiFi
Atmel and Microchip could never blend because Atmel fans have blue shirts and Microchip fans have red shirts!
Considering I just bought a new pickit3, this idea of pickit4 only sort of pisses me off. Especially since its only a firmware issue.
Aprils fools joke....
Initial reports from people at microchip? :P
where do you get the new firmware for the avrdragon
Omg... i got owned.... :s
Damn you Dave! :D
Exciting stuff, but when can I expect support for the MSP430?
What happened to your 2 power supply projects? Did ya abort/cancel/abandon/stop them?
This is all made possible by the 555 easter egg.
i actually googled pic kit 4 LOL!
Damn... You got me xD. And here i was thinking why the hell would you want this... The architecture is completely different. Youd be able to use the other companys programmer...whooptydoo :-P
where did you get the lcd on the calc from or is a actual calc u can buy
I grew up on pic 15c54, i got sick of pic and moved to atmel...
