Lost Communications?

[fowardbias]

The USB programmer is being used with the 40 pin adapter (ZIF thru the 10 pin header, all factory Melabs hardware) directly to the 877A. Not using ICSP here. After programming the chip is moved to the test circuit. I am using the PK2 using ICSP thru MPLAB only. I use the MCS for the melabs projects. Still doubling clicking here? no big deal. RC

For those that run into a lost communications drop down window once in awhile when calling for a compile and program. This started out as a 50% fail to program to a 100% fail. I had been running the and programmer through a powered and fully loaded 7 port USB hub. I pulled the USB programming cable from the hub port and went directly to a USB port on the laptop. Now no problems. I don't know if cable lengths or loading or ?, anyway problem gone.
