12LF1572 Support

[Amoque]

I see here: http://www.pbp3.com/devicelist.html that PBP3 supports the 12F1572, but I find no support files in my installation. Am I missing an update/ upgrade? Possibly I am to copy/ modify some other file? Anyone use this chip and/ or can explain?

Try to install MPLAB 8.92

After installing MPLABB 8.92, I am still unable to find any support for 12F1572. Perhaps I have "issues" elsewhere. Using Microcode Studio 5.0.0.0 and Compiler version is PBPX 3.0.4.4. MeLabs Programmer 4.50...

I honestly can't say I know enough about the programming toolchain to be sure I'm on the right track. My typical projects use 12F683 or 16F88. I've used an 18F4420 a few times, but it ain't broke, so I haven't fixed it. Now that I'm looking at a newer chip, I find myself significantly out of touch and confused with where to start.

Hi

Do you have the "Gold" edition of PBP3? The other versions do not support your chip.

You can email support. They can be very helpful. Sometimes it takes a day or two for a reply.

I have verified that I have "gold". Oddly, it is difficult to do from the product directly (I couldn't find anywhere that there's a designation in plain language). I had to log on to my account and check the invoice. In any case, it appears that I will have to email support.

I must admit, I thought that someone would have info on this... I'll check back when I figure it out.

For those of you waiting on the edge of your seat for resolution... Somewhere I've missed an update. Newest version of PBP3 is 3.0.9 an offers support for several chips 3.0.4 does not. I suppose it makes sense and should be one of the first things I checked, but between compilers, programmers, MPLABS, firmware... Anyway, lesson learned.
