Thank you. Wasn't aware that MPLABX was at version 6.35? Are you sure you didnt mean V6.15? I've just downloaded V6.20 today. Do these changes apply to V4 of the bus pirate hardware?

@djsbriscoe Yes, I'm using v6.15 - thank you for noticing a typo! Need some time to re-test on v6.20 but should be fine too, btw the projects will auto-upgrade in a new MPLAB X. These commits help both v3 and v4; mine is v4 but I care about v3 too!

@denis2342 Hi there Denis! Thank you for your interest and extra improvements for Bus Pirate V4 source code. Please, could you share your further BPv4 source code modifications that you have described on your DangerousPrototypes forum page ?
