FlowCode with MikroE EasyPIC v7 board

Post by hackinblack »

after replicating some older instructions on this forum, i added the MikroElektronika EasyPICv7 board and its supporting programmer application to the options in Flowcode7.
simply by selecting the file location of the programming software and adding it to the path box in 'programmer-options'.

however this hasn't gone quite as smoothly as expected,as there seems to be a bug in the MikroProg software.
if MikroProg is opened from within Flowcode an error saying the 'PIC database is missing please re-install the application' pops up...if the programmer app is opened on its own,however, flowcode re-opens it OK;but you have to select the hex file and click on 'program' inside MikroProg to complete the actual programming. :?
you have to double-check the configs are correct inside MikroProg BEFORE programming, as they will override the ones in the code;this caused some serious head-scratching when 4x PLL was enabled, along with the wrong clock frequency,and low-voltage programming, when running on hardware!
my example flowcode project which works on the EasyPICv7:-
