PIC16F1454 Connecting To USB Doesn't Work

[rsocor01]

Hi,

Has anybody tried to make a USB project with a PIC16F chip? I'm trying to make the PIC16F1454 work with USB, but I'm getting this error from PBP3 "USBIN/USBOUT/USBINIT/USBSERVICE commands not supported for this device." This chip has USB capabilities. This error makes me think that PBP3 doesn't support USB in PIC16F chips. Any advice or comments are greatly appreciated.

The error in red comes from me trying to include the usbjadem.bas descriptor.

I'm just trying to initialize the USB with usbinit and it is not working. My basic preliminary code below.

#CONFIG
    __config _CONFIG1, _FOSC_INTOSC & _WDTE_OFF & _PWRTE_OFF & _MCLRE_OFF & _CP_ON & _BOREN_OFF & _CLKOUTEN_OFF & _IESO_OFF & _FCMEN_OFF
    __config _CONFIG2, _WRT_OFF & _CPUDIV_NOCLKDIV & _PLLEN_ENABLED & _STVREN_OFF & _LPBOR_OFF & _LVP_OFF
#ENDCONFIG

TRISA = %00000000
ANSELA = %00000000
TRISC = %00000000
ANSELC = %00000000

usbinit

I entered:

Part family = PIC16F145x
USB interface = YES

Search results = No products meet selection bla bla bla

WTH...?

I was also planning on using this PIC for my project.

Ah crap.

If I search USB in PIC18F4550.PBPINC, I get this:




If I do the same search in PIC16F1454.PBPINC:




That messes up my plans as well for an inexpensive USB PIC.

Holy crap, prices rise quickly.

Demon, don't give up. This is a very inexpensive chip for a USB project. I was hoping to use it for a few projects I have. I don't think that they implemented the USB part for this chip in the PBP software. Maybe Melabs can help with this. What do you think?

[rsocor01]

Also, PBP doesn't let you enable the PIC16F1454 USB internal voltage regulator. Below is the setting for the 18F4550.

Demon, don't give up. ...

Never give up, never surrender!

... I don't think that they implemented the USB part for this chip in the PBP software. Maybe Melabs can help with this. ...

Yeah, that much is obvious with that statement in the INCLUDE.

I don't have any "direct contact" at MeLabs, and all comments I've read say PBP is dead.

I can always ask, but I have a feeling this PIC or PBP is of little importance to them.
