Bringing up USB PICs again.

[Alex_rcpilot]

I've reviewed a few posts with the site's search engine.And I also searched Microchips site.Only to find 4 PICs with USB capability - PIC18F2455/2550/4455/4550.

I know the protocal and the driver is REALLY difficult but....let me handle it.The problem is,I have to burn the chip.I couldn't find a list of chips that ICD2 can burn.Does Microchip even have such a list on their site?

According to a domestic document,only PIC18F4455 has something to do with ICD2,but it says 'Temporarily not supported because it's currently in test or an additional device required'.ICD2 is the only development hardware I have.Is there any PIC with internal USB module that I can program with ICD2 anyway?

I think ICD2 will program 2550 and 4550 without problem...

Cool!!!
Thank you a lot for that list.I'll get the 7.11 version right away.My current version is 6.0

BTW,where is that list from?Some online resource?Or a help file?

You are Welcome!
Wow, that's old! Anyways, you can find that file in "C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE\Readmes", it's called "Readme for MPLAB ICD 2.txt"
Now you have reason to Upgrate MPAB whenever possible... :lol:

 

[Alex_rcpilot]

Absolutely!And a reason to keep an eye on the Microchips website.

I've been up to 8051s since the beginning.Don't really have much experience in PICs.I thought Microchip added new chip supports by providing update plug-ins,never expected they would update the entire software so frequently!HOHO....

I just installed the 7.11.Yeah,I found the readme file for ICD2.Now it supports PIC18F2455/2550/4550.I better try applying for a desirable sample now. Wow!Guess what?The self test passed!While the former MPLAB said Vpp too high.Maybe they found out 12V is not so terrible as they imagined before or what?

Hehe,anyway.Thanks again,Jay.You've really helped a lot.

I like to hear that.

I've reviewed a few posts with the site's search engine.And I also searched Microchips site.Only to find 4 PICs with USB capability - PIC18F2455/2550/4455/4550.

There are USB-to-serial conversion chips you can use with any PIC that has a UART.

Yes, that's very simple.... but it will prevent you of taking full advantage of the USB....

 

[Alex_rcpilot]

Thank you,Oznog.I understand such chips can simplify the development,but my real intention is-as Jay said-to take full advantage of USB protocol.I tried PDIUSBD12 with 89S52 previously.Now I need to review on what I learned from it about USB protocol,to apply to new projects with PIC.I believe it's worth the effort.

 

[Jay.slovak]

I believe it's worth the effort.

It definitely is!
