16c72

Hi Michael,

This may seem trivial but are you erasing the chips before you put them into the EPIC programmer? The "C" devices with windows must be erased with a UV eraser if I'm not mistaken. "F" type devices are flash memory and can be erased by the programmer. Perhaps this is causing you the problem.

Perhaps MCS won't let you do that?

It will let you do that - I do it all the time but the registers, etc., must be correctly set.

I thought that most of the parts defaulted to inputs on PORTA and not ADC's?

Not this one, PORTA defaults to mostly Analog but this does not explain your PortB not working

I'm going to try and see if not doing a "new file" is it

It's not it but good idea - just make the thing blink PORTB.0 and then add more stuff. If that does not work, try some of the other things noted earlier in this thread.

(sorry about the flu - yuck!)

Good Luck,

Well, one thing that tells me I better go back to bed is that for the past 15 minutes I had PORTA.0 and PORT A.1 in the same line and wondered why it wouldn't compile. (note the space).

(idiot). (i feel like hell though)

But I just noticed something that I never noticed before in MCS as well.

Let's say you're working on some code for a 16C72 and you open up another file just to look at (without closing the 16C72 file).....and that file is for a 16C65B.

When you close the 16C65B file the 16C72 file has CHANGED TO 16C65B!

Huh ? You'd think the software would recognize what you've saved. ?

All else is fine.....I submit we don't archive this post!
