windows7pro and microcode studio compatibility

[Normnet]

so working for two days trying to get the MicroCode studio plus, PBP, and the U2 programmer to work and still no luck...

Try FineLineIDE Beta, a new IDE.
One file cut, copy paste exe.
Not yet fully tested in Windows 7 but others have reported OK and it's easily tried.
PM me with email address to try.

So the FL IDE worked much better so far. No issues with the PBP interface or the MPASM. It wouldn't find the exe's automatically but manual mode worked. I thought it wouldn't keep the parameters for different programmers but the second time I put them it it seems to have kept them.
Default settings for ME Labs U2 programmer would be nice as that seems to be what they are replacing the serial and maybe parallel units with. I haven't figured out the parameters to pass program info to the pickit2 programmer yet.
Picking the origional IDE had the same error I started with in this thread as expected because it calls the MCS+ but who cares as you don't need it with this IDE. Not sure why you even need to put that option in.

Thanks for the try out

What are the default directory's for the exe's in windows 7?
If someone has the ME Labs U2 programmer parameters I can add them as a preloaded programmer.
The PICkit2 should have a preloaded programmer tab on startup as well as PICkit3 and EasyPicX.

Hi Norm. Up to this moment, the FL has shown to be stable and very nice designed interface.

Tested on WinXP SP3.

Very good job,

I have been using FL since July on Win7 64 bit.
Works great!!!

the meLabs u2 programmer ended up here
C:\Program Files (x86)\melabs Programmer\meProg.exe
and I used this parameter string
-pPIC$target-device$ $hex-filename$ -E

to get the code out using pickit2 I downloaded the pic2cmd from melabs and put it here
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microchip\PICkit 2 v2\pk2cmd.exe
with this parameter string
pk2cmd -PPIC$target-device$ -F$hex-filename$ -E -M -J -H4 -R

writes the code in the background without prompts

Don't know why the pickit2 settings didn't work for me but I kind of like the pk2cmd driver better anyway

I love your IDE and so glad to have you shared it as it saved me with my system conflicts
