Just noticed something odd in MPLAB

Not sure if this might be the problem
John

Note: mplab_platform

The word Platform is not listed in the literature for FC settings but maybe that path was not in V3 but is in V5.2.

Not sure where this might be ( Target Device ID (0x6120) )

What target would this be ?

This is with the PICkit 3 not connect to the laptop FC compile to hex Target folder: C:\Users\jleit\Desktop\Carter Source name: C:\Users\jleit\Desktop\Carter\OLED July 22 Version 2019.fcfx Title: Description: Device: PIC.18F.18F25K80 Generated by: Flowcode v6.1.4.0 Date: Thursday, August 01, 2019 11...

Here is the FC message with MPLAB not running Target folder: C:\Users\jleit\Desktop\Carter Source name: C:\Users\jleit\Desktop\Carter\OLED July 22 Version 2019.fcfx Title: Description: Device: PIC.18F.18F25K80 Generated by: Flowcode v6.1.4.0 Date: Thursday, August 01, 2019 11:56:18 Users: 1 Register...

Yes I would like to generate HEX only

But FC won't cooperate

I took of the W5 seeing I'm using the breadboard 4.8v power

When I have the PICkit 3 not connected and try to generate Hex. FC says target not found Here is the Mplab finding of the design chip Connecting to MPLAB PICkit 3... Currently loaded firmware on PICkit 3 Firmware Suite Version.....01.56.00 Firmware type..............PIC18F Target voltage detected Ta...

This is all new to me. I have the IPE loaded. The actions look like I need to have the PicKit3 connect to my PIC18F26K80 before I can generate my Hex file from my FC project. Back in PICKit 2 I could generate hex without being connected to the PIC directly All new information for me These are my set...

I have Step 1 finally running
Now to set up Flowcode to get Hex File

John

I might be in luck with the download
I see a option in step 5

Hers is the link I get routed to

I'm trying to find the IPE version

The notes say IDE is the version that is more powerful,

I will try again

John

Thank you Martin & Ben for your help. As i thought I would crash and burn going into the new world of PicKit 3. I down loaded MPLAB x IDE V5.20 Yes I have not worked with MPLAB in the Pickit 2 time. For the Flowcode I can't seam to find the correct settings to capture HEX Here is my not so perfect s...

Hi all My PicKit 3 just arrived and with the help of Benj I was able to get the PicKit 3 program loaded. After that I was not getting any programming of PIC18F26K80. The standalone loader says it can't find the PIC18. I had to do a "manual Select". I found the PIC18. Here is the Flowcode Compiler se...

Hello Benj

Thank you so much for the help.

I have placed my order for the PicKit3

I will let you know how it goes.

John

Hello Benj Thank you for responding to my latest wow as me. I think I will go with the PicKit 3 seeing that appears to be the most common. I found on for sale on Amazon Prime £17.73 or $29 cdn. Now my next mountain to climb. It only comes with the PicKit3 interface. No CD. Benj do you know where I c...

I see the Pickit 3 at Microsoft is $47.95

And there is a Pickit 4 in the market for $47.95.

Not sure if I need to upgrade should I get the 4 or 3 version. seeing they are the same price ?

John

Thought maybe my PICKIT2 won't load a PIC18F26K80

I tried doing a Hex load with Pickit 2 and it could not find a PIC18F26K80

Does this mean I should purchase Pikit3

John

Hello Martin My new PIC18F26K80 arrived and I started the design for a OLED display I tried to load the PIC18 and it fails code 36 Check my connections all look good. Here is a mock up of the board. PIC18 error.png I listed the NFR905 wiring as black leads and the OLED The error says it cant find th...

Morning Martin.

Thank you for the info on the "Caution". New beginnings for me in the PIC18 world.

John

Hi Martin I was able to select the PIC18F26K80 it didn't like my use of A4. Has a internal OSC. It compiled to Hex. Hurray... Did get some cautions. Caution: argument of 'delay_us' calls must have a value of 1 or more Caution: Delay inaccurrate: 'delay_us', Delay overhead:0ms, Unit delay:0.00101725m...

Thank you Martin.

Let me try the PIC18F26K80 and see if my program will complies to hex.

Back in a few minutes

John

Hi Benj That is a sad time. I would of thought PIC16 family would cover all chips or at least have a update to Compiler. The chips arrived this morning $16 dollars down the drain Benj do you happen to know a 28pin chip with SRAM Byte 2048 ? I have a SSD3106 OLED display that needs more memory other ...

Hello
I'm using Flowcode 6 and I need a PIC16 with higher ram for a OLED display project

I selected PIC16F19156 for the task but I can't find the chip (Build - Find Target)

PIC16F19156 I/SP-ND from DigiKey

Hello Benj Not 100% sure how to use the Constant Constant.png I can create something that resembles a 2 second timer. But it doesn't look right. And how to I call it in a 2 second timer ? In the images the "Macro2s" was a call for 2 second timer. I have attached my Flowcode 6 design maybe you can sp...

Hello all I have come it pickle with my Master pitch count. Running into to much code. I cleaned up old code that was disabled and deleted 2 old macro. Went from ( -5 ) to (-2), Getting close I had a old thought if I had several Delays with 10ms I could call say Macro10 that would have the 10ms dela...
