I have had no luck getting PICKIT2 to work inside flowcode7 with a 16f690 target chip.
i have set all the paths in programmer options to those suggested here:-
http://www.matrixtsl.com/mmforums/viewt ... 992#p57992
but i am still getting this message:-
' PK2DeviceFile.dat device file not found.
C:\Program Files\Flowcode 7\tools\PICkit2\pk2cmd.exe reported error code 24 '
where am i going wrong? i have loaded the suggested PICKIT dat and CMD from the zip folder mentioned above,
into the suggested folder,and uploaded the PICKIT OS from the flowcode tools folder..now i'm stumped!

Re: PICKIT2 in flowcode
well,after gettting no response;i tried yet again...and got it to work,sort of...
i added an entry for PICkit2 with the parameters from the webpage; no joy.
then i ticked the ' default compiler for the platform C ' box
then clicked on SAVE; THEN named the new the new setting name ' PICkit2
only then would the compile to chip option work;great! the status light flickered on the PICkit2, the message box said success,
and then,er nothing...
the power is not applied to the (Microchip's Low Pin-Count) board from the programmer;and as the PICkit standalone programmer appplication doesn't actualy open to interact with during the program cycle,i have to open it seperately to enable power to the board.even if i set the power options in the PICkit2 app. to 'force PICkit2 ' it still doesn't power the board...ditto if i leave the app open before trying to ' compile to chip '; as it opens a seperate instance to program! a bit of a pantomime.
does anyone have a workround?

Re: PICKIT2 in flowcode
Hi hackinblack,
In the Programmer parameters, have you tried -T at the end?
Don't forget PICkit2 can only supply about 30mA .

Re: PICKIT2 in flowcode
perfect! the -T switch worked..now i am able to 'compile to chip' and it powers the demo board after the program/verify cycle
for anyone else who hits this snag, the configs; in the 'programmer' > 'paramenters' option that work are:-
Location:- $(appdir)tools\PICkit2\pk2cmd.exe
Parameters:- -B$(appdir)tools\PICkit2\ -PPIC$(chip) -F$(target).hex -M -A5 -R -T
Despite both the (1st version) LPCdemo board and the PICkit2 being out-moded, i find them nicer to use than their replacements,
especially the PICkit3 with its constant firmware swaps! so as the saying goes ' if it ain't bust - don't fix it! '
thank you SOOO much
