Beginner problems with 18F66J50

[prstein]

Thanks to everyone who replied. You were all headed in the right direction. Turned out to be the beta MELabs U2 programming software. For some reason it wasn't picking up the settings in the .inc file. I went back to the earlier version of the programmer software (and had to copy 18F66J50.inc to that folder--not supporting that chip was why I tried the beta download) and everything worked fine.

Now knowing the proper programmer settings I tried the beta again, still wouldn't work. I guess I should report a bug to MEL.

Best Regards,
Paul

COOL!

Have you tried setting the configs in code space? Might be a work-around.

Robert mentioned an important point about the protection diode - I would also take into consideration. It may work for a while, then just fail, if you don't add that diode. It's well worth the expense. Just FYI.

I know better than to ignore advice from The Bruce! Consider it added.

Thanks Dave. Now that I can start running with this project I will certainly do that.
