Hi,

Here is another question regarding these PIC16F193x chips. First of all, let me say that this chip is supported with the new PBP 2.60 version. But, I couldn't use the PM asembler that comes with PBP. I got the following error and was forced to use MPASM.

This is not really an issue since using MPASM is a workaround and should be fine. But, isn't PM supposed to work with all the 16F series chips? It was my understanding that MPASM was only required for the 18F series.

Now, it comes the real problem . When I try to program my 16F1939 using my Melab U2 Programmer, the software can not find the chip. So, I went ahead and upgraded the firmware hoping to get support for this new chip.

But, still the programmer software doesn't support this chip. Is there something that I'm missing here? Or, am I getting forced to buy the PickIt3 programmer ?

Thank you for your help,

Robert
