HELP!! device upgrade for bpickit2

[MrDEB]

that code I posted is totally wrong. I do not have an adc input voltage
back to the drawing board.

I do not have an adc input voltage

That's ok, it's never used.

 

[MrDEB]

I discovered I have some hardware issues on the first board.

 

[MrDEB]

here is my TEST code for installing all 35 leds as I solder them on the board tomorrow morning. Hopefully this will work? it should.

I looked at the link in post #13 and contemplating the pickiteasy version for pk2 & pk3.
Or maybe the pickitplus basic suite. Wonder what is the difference?

If it's any help, I got the Pickitplus basic suite - it contains software for the Pickit 2 and the Pickit 3 (seperate programs) - it is an update of the 3.10 software Tumbleweed mentioned - it also programs much faster than the original.

 

[MrDEB]

I ordered the pkplus basic as well this morning as my recent pk2 install is acting weird. It locks up etc.
Ordered at 4am this morning and yet to get an email with install url.

The beginning part of your test program in post #24 should look like this:

Device = 18F43K22 ' Tell the compiler what chip we are using
Clock = 8

Include "intosc.bas"
#option DIGITALIO_INIT = true        // automatically call setalldigital at startup
Include "SetDigitalIO.bas"

You don't need any other 'include' statements.
"intosc.bas" should always be included first, and I corrected the '#option' for setdigitalio.bas to get setalldigital called for you.

 

[MrDEB]

will make recommended changes.
need to find out what happened to my order for the pk easy suite. Never got an email w/ url

Yeah, they do it manually so it might take a day or two (mine took 24hrs roughly).

 

[MrDEB]

I finally got it. Paypal had wrong email

 

[augustinetez]

If you use a standalone socket/board to program the PICs (ie not doing in circuit programming), under tools, tick "Fast programming", makes a big difference to speed.

Dis-regard the Pickit 3 not found message in the image, I didn't have it connected.

 

[MrDEB]

thanks but all my projects are smd.
I do have a test board that I can try this out.
