    Default EasyPic 5 board and MCSP

    I've got Easy Pic 5 board- very nice but can't get it work with MCSP. Did some one manage to do it? I find a ref in your forum www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/content.php?r=84 but no content there. I'm using USB- RS232 adapter.

    When you say you are using USB to RS232, do you mean you are using a com port on the PC to connect to the programmer's USB port via an adapter - If so then I think you are going to have trouble.

    A bit more info on how / what you are trying to do would be useful.

    Thanks, I have notebook with USB ports only therefore I'm using adapter to connect to RS232 on Easy Pic 5 board. I'm trying to use ICD capabilities of MCSP. A correct loader I have.

    To be honest I don't think it will work with MCSP, the manual ( http://www.mikroe.com/pdf/easypic5/mikroicd_manual.pdf ) provides details of how to configure and use the Mikro ICD software, which might be your only option

    Hi, Alexander

    at this time , I have my Easypic5 connected to MCSP in debug mode, with a 16F877A ... and it works fine.

    so, it's possible.

    1) I use a " true " RS232 serial cable from a serial port of the PC - no USB convertor. ( choice is only COM 1,2 & 4 ... )

    I have an USB > serial on com 4 ( PSU ) and it works too, if connected to EP5 ...

    2) the EP5 RS232 switches ( SW7 & SW8 ) must be selected to allow the choosen Pic to use it's own USART.

    except that ... nothing special.

    Why insist on using 32 Bits when you're not even able to deal with the first 8 ones ??? ehhhhhh ...

    IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
    certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!

    Merci Alain

    Default MCLoader compatible chips

    Any supported chip should do, as long as your board's serial port can match up with the chips, it should work. Here are the hex files available for MCLoader, attachment at the bottom of this page:
