Hi All,
I thought maybe this was a "common" problem that others may have experienced so "frequently asked questions" seemed like a good place? As far as I know (which isn't much) all the code examples say to use "DEFINE LOADER_USED 1" and "DEFINE OSC 20", and "Include "Modedefs.bas"". Okay so I tried to compile without the "DEFINE LOADER_USED 1" no change, and changed the baud rate to 19200, no change. For me with the programmer I have which is a "Picstart Plus" you must compile in Microcode Studio Plus ver 5.0.0.3 complier ver PBPX 3.0.4.4, then program the PIC in MPlab IDE v8.84, then run the program in Microcode Studio. There are so many options and choices in both programs it boggles the mind! To the best of my small knowlege when you define your OSC as 20 this takes care if the HS (High Speed) fuse setting or is this not correct? Is there another "Loader_Used" and how do you know which is correct? I can program the PIC without any errors. It is when you try to "Run" the program that nothing seems to work and you get a "IDC Connection Timeout" error. Thanks, Ed
