USB connection issue in Flowcode 5

Post by WvdBerg »

Good day Gents,

I seem to have a problem with interfacing the EB006 v9 multi programmer to Flowcode 5.

I had a read up on the threads concerning this problem for win7 and downloaded the updated driver.
Installed the updated driver and it does reflex correctly in device manager as the "Custom USB Devices\EB006 multiprogrammer"

But it still doesn't want to connect - "USB cable is not connected" nevermind what i do.

How would i go by checking if i might have a faulty bootloader on the PIC24EP512.

Reason why i think the bootloader might be faulty/corrupt : I can upload the compiled .hex file via mLoader v3 with no problem.
Just can't compile straight to the chip, which makes me think the bootloader might be corrupt.

OS : Win7 x64
CPU : i7 2.4Ghz
RAM : 8GB

Thanks for the help

Hello,

The reason Flowcode v5 cannot see your hardware is it is still using the PPP software to try to talk to the hardware. This worked fine for EB006 boards up to v8 but the v9 board has different programming software.

This FAQ should help to get you started.

Let me know how you get on.
