Hello:
Re - Flowcode V5.5.2.1 (30.01.2013)
EB-006-00-8 Programmer USB and power supply connected


I have been using the EB-006-00-8 programmer for about 7 years. Works fine with PIC18f4525, but when I attempt to program a PIC18f26k80, the dialog box opens and tells me it can't identify the chip Pic18f26k80 and presumes it is connected as spec'd in the config. The programming subsequently fails.

I have investigated similar issues on the bulletin board, and the update for PPP links are broken so I didn't update anything, I have tried most of the resolves such as switching to RC osc and back - no luck. I have a feeling that the firmware on the EB-006=00-8 predates the Pic18f26k80.

Is that possible?

Also wondering if you have a suggestion for a different programmer board that might be easier to insert chips? Any second source boards out there you might recommend?

Thoughts?

Let me know if anyone has detail for this repeat post:

Didn't get a response for my post - Ended up getting a PICkit 3, saving the flowcode file an a hex format and dumping it into the PIC18f26k80 vis the required 5 pins on the chip. Now I don't have to remove the chip to program.

I am having problems with my EB006-07 programmer, is there any way to reprogram the firmware??
as it keeps comming up with can,t find chip.
