MICROCODE STUDIO PLUS 3.0.0.5
PICBASIC PRO 2.60
programing adapter 840Z with C1
MELABS U2 PROGRAMER 4.31
BETA SOFTWARE 4.32 (for 3.3v programing)
PIC16LF727
I am trying to use the MRF24J40MA RF transceiver module for wireless comunication between two microcontrolers.
The transceiver operates on 3.3 volts. Up till now I have only programed 5 volt MCUs.
I am thinking that it would be best to use a 3.3 volt MCU with the 3.3 volt transceiver. Then I wouldnt have to convert all the signals from 5 volts to 3.3 volts and back again.
I downloaded the BETA software. As far as I can tell I have everything I need to program 3.3 volt MCUs, but when I do I get the error messages:
ERROR [132] C:\pbp 16LF727.INC 20 :unknown processor (16LF727)
ERROR [105] C:\pbp 16LF727.INC 21 :canot open file (include file "16LF727.INC" not found)
ERROR [131] C:\pbp 16LF727.INC 22rocessor type is undifined
I followed the directions when I downloaded the Beta update.
I did the (options-more options-update programer firmware) thing.
When I had problems with it I selected the different path manualy
in my MicroCode Studio Plus.
Both the MELABS U2 PROGRAMER 4.31 directory and the BETA 4.32 directory
reside as seperate directories in the MY PROGRAMS directory.
The MRF24J40MA Data sheet says it is compatible with the PIC16F family microcontrolers. Does this mean that I can hook the 3.3 volt transceiver directly to the 5 volt microcontroler?
Did I do something wrong?
Do I need to add a Include line to my program?
Do I need a Define line in my program?
I am stuck. I hope someone can help me out with this.
Thankyou for your time.
