Picbasic and ICEBREAKER ICD

Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to get these 2 to talk?

I'm completely new to this and purchased picbasic pro+micro code studio and the Icebreaker dev board. Im thinking now it may not be possible to use them, which is a shame as it's the only board I could find to offer all that at a reasonable price.

If anyone knows how to use these together I'd really appreciate some details.

Thanks.

I just had a look at the IceBreaker website.. looks really good, I wish that I had one to program and play with.

There will surely be others who have had experience with this, but give this a go first...

1.Get the latest Ice breaker software if you don't have it already

2. Add the icebreaker programmer, under Picbasic Options in microcode studio.

3. Complile your program and see if it works

Thanks for that. I'll give it a go. At the moment I seem to have another problem! It seems the icebreak code doesn't want to work. I keep getting "Communications error: unexpected character recieved: 01 expected FF recieved". I've emailed magenta and will let you know how it goes.

Cheers.

Hi
I have used ICE Breakerwith no problem. You use the ICEbreaker software and just download the file just as you would if you were using ICEbreaker on its own. A much better solution is to program ur chip with a bootloader and use this feature inPIC Basic
I have written elsewhere in this forum how I did it
Hope this helps
