Hi All,
Having problems with "Calibration programming error", "Erase Failed" still.
Trying on 3 different 10F222's, 2 in SOT23-6 and one DIP. After a couple of successful program tries, I start getting the same problem as in the first post. The SOT's are in a circuit so I tried the DIP without anything else connected, still the same. The erase seems to be working at least some of the time because I have lost the OSCCAL data after a few tries and since it hasn't been able to successfully program, "DEFINE OSCCAL_1K" isn't grabbing it again. I'm using http://www.rentron.com/PIC12C67X.htm load it back in.
<After some time away...a lesson learned:>
I had updated my U2 programming software recently, so I didn't figure that was the problem, but I started thinking about that nag screen and "ding" that you get from using the beta version. I didn't remember getting it since I updated from 4.31 to 4.41 beta. Checked and MCS was still launching 4.31. They are all named meProg.exe regardless of the version, so it takes a bit to determine which one you have if you leave more than one in your directories. There is a .txt file that shows which version you are looking at and I finally decided to do some housekeeping and get rid of all of the older ones. Went into MCS and manually changed to meProg.exe for 4.50 beta and it began launching the correct one (and I actually prefer the familiar "ding", it tells me its ready). Ultimately, it didn't solve my problem, but I thought the above discovery might help someone, so I thought I'd elaborate in case someone else missed it too.
Moral to the story... Still having the issue. The next step is to pull the extra stuff from around the problem boards and give it another try. Tried to skip that as most of the parts are 0402 and a bit small to be playing with.
If anyone has any other paths that I'm not seeing, please feel free to enlighten us.
Thanks
Bo
