Pulsin and ICD

[Ramius]

Hi All!
Again I have the infamous IDC timeout. I believe the wiring is correct and just in case , maybe I missed something in the code? Thanks, Ed

Hi Ed,
I suspect you mean the MicroCodeStudio ICD?
Do you have the MAX232 circuit as per the description (http://www.mecanique.co.uk/code-studio/icd/ICDHardwareSetup.html), do you have the correct chip selected in the drop down list and have you programmed the chip with the .hex file compiled FOR ICD operation (by clicking the ICD compile button, not the normal Compile button)?

Are you bootloading the PIC? If so, and if THAT works, then the MAX232 circuit and hardware is verified to be OK.

/Henrik.

Hi Henrik!
There is just something very basic I seem to be missing somewhere. Yes, the MAX232 circuit is good and has been working for a very long time. I can go into Microcode Studios, open the comm screen, jumper the Rx to the Tx on the MAX232 output, connect, type something in and it returns! Yes I have been using the ICD compile. I just wish the IDC error message was more exact! Best, Ed
