Re: Redefinition of Label error

comcon= 7
That line would certainly cause an error, not sure it's the one you get though. If that's actually what you put in your program (and not a forum typo) we might have found the problem.

Re: Redefinition of Label error

Thanks Henrik,
The original program was for a 16F84 and I’m replacing it with the 16F87 and yes I did change that on MCS and I’m using PBP 3.1, recently upgraded. I did put comcon= 7 in the newer...

Re: So, what are people using for CHEAP ICSP programmers these days?

I like to support the folks at pickitplus, but if you're really strapped for cash there's a similar free version called pickitminus at http://kair.us/projects/pickitminus/
It's not as up to date as...

Re: So, what are people using for CHEAP ICSP programmers these days?

I've used all the Microchip ones, and even a few pickit3 clones and never had an issue with any of them.
If you keep blowing up PK3's then it could be your setup/configuration (not using MCLR,...

Re: So, what are people using for CHEAP ICSP programmers these days?

The price leader for quality would have to be the Snap Programmer from Microchip, $34.09 (USD). It cannot power the target, but other than that, it does everything the PICkit4 does. Oh, it requires...

Re: So, what are people using for CHEAP ICSP programmers these days?

I use Pikprog+ by Elnec for many years (this model is not in production now and is based on parallel port!), Pickit 2 and Pickit3 (original by Microchip) and ICD3.

I can say that never had any...

So, what are people using for CHEAP ICSP programmers these days?

Hey all. I've been using a Kit149 programmer for years running Microburn software. One of them died and I'm still on my second one but it's getting worn and sometimes acts up.
Anyway I have ordered...

Re: MicroCode studio crashes while typing in code.

Again, this has been happening to several users over the years, there are multiple threads here and over on the Melabs forum.
Threads I find with a 2 minute search are from 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017...

Re: MicroCode studio crashes while typing in code.

On paper yes - everything should be checked.
But in real life....
As I've found out, this is more compatibility issue, rather than hardware fault.
12th gen intel processors lower their operating...

Re: MicroCode studio crashes while typing in code.

Well, isn't windows on power up, checking RAM for integrity?

If not, can you replace it with the defect one and run a RAM check utility?

AMICUS

What is Amicus18?

Amicus is a multifunction development system inspired by the popular Arduino board, however, the Amicus board uses a Microchip PIC^® microcontroller instead of an Atmel AVR^tm type.

Comprehensive documentation and a helpful and friendly support environment, make using Amicus18 an easy and enjoyable experience for beginners and seasoned programmers.

Forum Moderator Mackrakit (Dave) very kindly ported the Proton BASIC Compiler code over to PBP3 and modified the original AMicus18 docuemts for PBP3 users.

Companion Sheild

The entry level shield is labelled The Companion Shield. This is a PCB laid out in the pattern of a solderless breadboard. The holes are single sided, which means that components can easily be removed using solder mop braid, or a solder vacuum tool, if a mistake is made, or components need to be re-used.

The (PBP3) Companion Shield Manual iCan be downloaded from here

See the Companion Shield in our on-line shop

GPS Shield

The Amicus GPS shield contains a multi channel GPS receiver, as well as a 16k byte (128 kbit) serial (I2C) eeprom, and a 3 Volt, 12mm battery socket in order to maintain the receiver's built-in RTC (Real Time Clock).

Available in our on-line store
