MicroCode Studio ICD Working?

[NullDevice]

I've sifted through the forum but don't see a lot of references to the software debug capabilities of Microcode Studio Plus. Forgive what could be a silly question but does the MCS ICD work as advertised?

NullDevice,

I haven't used the Microcode Studio ICD. But, I can tell you that it slows down your code a lot and it takes away some programming space from your chip. There other ways to debug your program. The thread below will give you some ideas.

Absolutely; it sure does.

But remember, the free version only does ICD on 16F628; since you asked about the 'Plus', the commercial version, yes it works as advertised.

My only complaint is that the company seems to have stopped providing support to newer chips.

Regards,

Anand
