    And check out post 4 about the epic programmer files.

    (I see you have EPC in you image.)
    My Creality Ender 3 S1 Plus is a giant paperweight that can't even be used as a boat anchor, cause I'd be fined for polluting our waterways with electronic devices.

    Not as dumb as yesterday, but stupider than tomorrow!

    Hmm, I made it work for a flashing LED. This is weird, you need to power the 16F1454 chip with 5V. It won't get programmed if I power it with 3V. I have never seen this for a regular 16F chip.

    Yes, that post from the forum was very helpful. He had some issues programming the chip too.

    Like I said, mutant PICs.

    Why Microchip do such stupid things, like two sets of programming pins for low or high voltage?

    Oh dear...

    It doesn't make any sense to me either.

    Bad news, I got this response from Melabs.

    Code:
    We tried many years ago, but failed to make the USB commands work in a useful way. In any case there is no further development planned for PBP.
    
    The 18F25K50 is less expensive than the 18F4550, but not as cheap as the 16F1454.
    I wonder if they are going to stop selling and supporting PBP after they said "there is no further development planned for PBP". We use their U2 programmers and software a lot. I responded to their email asking if they will keep supporting PBP.

    The good news is that the 18F25K50 isn't that expensive. I'll order some and I'll give it a try.

    This is not new. For few years now the development of PBP has stopped. Only one man (Charles) supports any bugs found but no further work will be done. I guess he is or will be retired, so no interest by anyone to continue this great compiler.

    It is pity that younger software engineers are not interested to take this compiler to the next level, but that is the case.
