 From what I have read, in order to use the kit to program an external circuit, I need to connect the external circuits VDD to VTG (Pin 3 of J20 on the nRF5340 DK). When I do that the DK loses communication with the IDE (VS Code).

&lt;p&gt;I took my circuit out. &amp;nbsp;I see the problem as soon as I connect VDD (DK: Connector P1 pin 1) to VTG (DK: Connector P20 pin 3 (Select per schematic, or VTG per silk screen).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Problem with using nRF5340DK to program external circuit</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/450036?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 12 Oct 2023 11:31:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:de611ccb-ca8f-4c41-b107-29e863973ff0</guid><dc:creator>ketiljo</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Can you post a schematic of your setup please?
