Micro code studio -- 16F1847

[Michael]

Always something.

So I get the 16F1847 to replace the 16F88 and it's not listed in MCS.

Is there a workaround on this? I don't see any downloadable updates on MCS.

If not, is there an IDE that is as user friendly as MCS? Don't want anything with dozems of options and overkill -- I program on occasion and Micro code studio is easy to grasp. --thank you

[Michael]

and for that matter, not even sure if my pbp 2.46a will support the 1847?

[Michael]

maybe I can go ahead and choose 16F88 and compile with that in MCS? (and PBP 2.46a?) and then just go ahead and program the 1847? Their pins are compatible.

can you do that? if the pinout is the same?

[Dave]

NO, The 16F1847 is an enhanced processor with different memory locations and different configuration registers. Other than the pinout, they are completely different.

You may need to update your PK2DeviceFile.dat

Try this patch:
Patch the C:Program FilesMicrochipPICkit 2 v2PK2DeviceFile.dat with following file: http://www.piccircuit.com/ins/PK2DeviceFile.dat

thank you Dick. yeah -- stupid question on the pinout thing. :)
