Trouble using BL0080 with mloader 4.001 same situation as danwest01

I have tried to download a program into the board with the supplied 16F18877 and it doesn't detect the boards connected. I've tried to delete drivers and reinstall but no luck.

Did you resolve the problem? I have exactly the same issue with the same images of files etc you had but am using a new eblocks2 Bl0080 board

Re: Damaged EB006- 8 board ?

Yes i do this every time i programme a PIC chip, tried again now with no success.

As i say the chip is programmed correctly as it works on my own testing breadboard circuit, just won't work with EB006-8 and EB083.

Re: Damaged EB006- 8 board ?

Here's the test programme i'm using. Like i say it programmes the chip ok but no output when using EB006-8 and EB083. When i use my own test circuit the chip works as it should. ;******************************************************************* ; TITLE: New 16F88 project ; AUTHOR: ; DATE: ;*******...

Re: Damaged EB006- 8 board ?

Have tried 2 or three other chips without any luck. As I said it programmes the chips ok but when testing on the EB006-8 board no outputs visible on all the output boards I've tried. When i check the chips on my other PIC testing circuits the chip works well after being programmed on the EB006-8 boa...

Re: Damaged EB006- 8 board ?

The programmes work correctly on both as i have a different PIC board and both chips work with the programmes.

My problem is i can't test them anymore using the EB006-8 board and the output boards connected.

Damaged EB006- 8 board ?

EB006 - 8 was working well with PIC16F88 then i changed the chip to 18F452 and tried programming this with certain new programmes without any success. I then swapped the chip back to the 16F88 and i can programme the chip (as checked on a breadboard) but PORTA and PORTB not working when connected to...

Re: Getting Keypad EB014 working with Assembler

After reading the datasheet for the PIC16F88 realised i hadn't set PORTA bits as digital inputs not analogue or CCP inputs, which isn't an issue with the PIC16F84.

All working now.

Re: EB006 00 8 Programming Problems

Luckily we have two EB006 008 boards at the one site in college and have found one works fine but the other can not detect any chips and when you try and programme gives config 1 error. When i change the board to the other EB006 008 using the same chip and programme it works fine. I will call the co...

EB006 00 8 Programming Problems

We are having multiple problems with the two EB006 00 8 boards that we have, when we are trying to programme PIC chips 16F628A, 16F88 and 16F84 mainly. Multitude of problems from can not detect the chips, 'programming failed', 'no usb cable detected' even when it is connected. The confusing thing is...

Testing a programme with ZIF Add on Board

Just received new PIC Micro starter pack and have a ZIF Add on board connected to the EB006 Multiprogrammer. I can programme the PIC16F88 chip using the ZIF add on board but the programme does not run afterwards, untill i remove the PIC chip from the ZIF add on and remove the ZIF and put the chip di...
