| IDE "Target" keeps changing to "Unknown." |

I created several small projects for testing (using an Explorer 16 board). I used the PIC24 Wizard to create them.
I keep finding the projects Target changed to Unknown. Trying to set it back in the box returns back to Unknown.
Looking inside the project file shows the proper target is selected in there, matching the header file and such that the Wizard added for me.
I close and restart the IDE, and sometimes I see the proper target processor, and other times Unknown.
Have I hit a bug? Anyone else seen this? |

Suggests it is having a communication problem with the target.
Length of the ICD cable.
Physical connections.
Power supply and particularly decoupling on the target.
Too small a pull up resistor on the MCLR line.
The ICD-80, is 'fussier' than many of the older ICD units on all of these. |

This is without being in debug mode. This is just editing projects, whether or not the debugger is hooked up.
As of the debugger, we just received it last week, and I'm hooking it up with the cable that came with it and the short RJ12(?) cable. But this happens without the debugger -- it's the IDE setting, not something in the debugger portion. |
