If it helps here are the captures from the other tabs
I've also tried taking of the checks for OSCAL etc and that made no difference

Last post tonight as its getting late
I've tried another version of winpic, Winpic800 and it has the settings as shown in the attached image - and this too errors when programming.
Gut feeling, its something to do with hardware / config settings in the programmer - I just don't have the experience to understand what it is.
In theory ... yesOriginally Posted by malc-c
One is good ... where the other 'I think' don't make sense at allReading the code back into WinPIC, gives the following info in the log

I Then loaded the same HEX file that gets compiled from your code that I previously loaded with PICpgm into Winpic and it reported the following under device config
Config word #1 = F0E7 (hex)
Config word #2 = 1F3F (hex)
Let's say i just compile the config fuses bellow
now, if i open the .LST file, i foundCode:ASM __CONFIG _CONFIG1L, _CPUDIV_OSC1_PLL2_1L __CONFIG _CONFIG1H, _FOSC_XT_XT_1H __CONFIG _CONFIG3H, _PBADEN_OFF_3H __CONFIG _CONFIG4L, _LVP_OFF_4L & _XINST_OFF_4L ENDASM

Wich adapter you're using JDM?In both cases nothing is else is listed listed (see images attached) If I try programming having loaded this file it errors
ICSP or not?
When you program your PIC, pull the PGM pin to GND, erase the chip firstm then retry and post your results.
I can't comment on JDM or else programmer like that, if you want a nice one and cheap, i buyed few months ago a Microchip PICKit 2 for some on-the road service job. For a <40$ and USB PIC programmer it's really nice.
Yeah it's kind of hard to know where the problem come from... The most strange thing... only one a single pin... and you tried on another board...I'm really out of my depth here as I have no idea what all these numbers are - I opted for the PICpgm program because it auto detected the PIC and had less setting to change - it also seemed to work as it reported no errors
Don't give up!

OK, cutting and pasting just the config lines into a blank page in Microcode studio, remming out the config lines in the 18F2550.INC file in the PBP folder so as not to get the warnings about overwritting values I can confirm that the LST file produces the same results as yoursOriginally Posted by mister_e

Yes - JDM as detailed above, with the chip pluged in to the programmer rathet than using ISCPWich adapter you're using JDM?
ICSP or not?
I've tried grounding PGM with a wire whilst programming and leaving the jumper off, whilst programming the code in post# above the config settings in Winpic are displayed as FFFF and FFFF (config word 1 and 2), and with PGM grounded the programming failed. I erased and read back the PIC to make sure there was no code in the PIC. Disconnected the serial cable and re-connected, re-launched WinPIC and loaded the same code. Again it errored when programming. I then used PICpgm to program the code - it reported it programmed without errors (I did erase the PIC first). I then closed PICpgm and re-opened winpic and read the code back in to the application. Under Winpic the config words are reported as CF3F (word 1) and 1F3F (word 2)When you program your PIC, pull the PGM pin to GND, erase the chip firstm then retry and post your results.
I think I might invest in a decent programmer - I have a PICkit1 as mentioned above, and it works really well - maybe I'll treat myself to an early christmas pressy
I can't comment on JDM or else programmer like that, if you want a nice one and cheap, i buyed few months ago a Microchip PICKit 2 for some on-the road service job. For a <40$ and USB PIC programmer it's really nice.
I don't mind trying stuff and it helps learing what and how things work, I just don't want to take up too much of your time in trying to resolve my problem.

compare/post your fileName.HEX file with the one i posted, those last bytes (in color) are the config fuses. It may reveal some interesting stuff. if they're different, just edit the .HEX file 'till it's the same, retry to program your PIC.Regret that I can't see where the error is coming from as there is nothing in the INC file (BPB folder) or am I looking in the wrong place?
Double check that both VSS are tied together, and place a 0.1uF between Vdd and Vss on your ZIFF socket. Keep PGM to gnd. If you still have some errors, try increasing the capacitor and use tantalum type if you reach over 1uF. So begin with 0.1uF, then 0.22, 0.47, 1uF, 2.2uF, 4.7uF maybe it will work. Also measure the voltage on MCLR pin while programming. it should be over 12 volts.I've tried grounding PGM with a wire whilst programming and leaving the jumper off, whilst programming the code in post# above the config settings in Winpic are displayed as FFFF and FFFF (config word 1 and 2), and with PGM grounded the programming failed.

I therefore tried loading the HEX file via the PICpgm program and that loaded the code to the pic without errors. I then shutdown PICpgm and launched Winpic and read the code back. The log reported the following:Code:Your code :08000000C030CEFEFFF8BBFF8B My code :08000000C030CEFEFFF8BBFF8B
The device config words were reported as CF3F and 1F3F. However the resulting dump of the PIC isn't anything like the original file (see dumped.txt attached).Code:Info: Loading definitions for "PIC18F2550" from devices.ini . Info: Support for some newer PIC18F devices added by Martin v.d. Werff 2005 Couldn't find "C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE\PIC18F2550.dev", please borrow/copy from MPLAB !

Reading PIC ok.
Unless you can see anything glaringly obvious then the only other area must be hardware and until I get a different programmer I can't prove that one way or another. The only thing I can see in the logs is
Could this be the problem, as the dev files are in C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE\Device folder ??Couldn't find "C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE\PIC18F2550.dev", please borrow/copy from MPLAB !
As always mate, I appreciate your continued help and advice on this one !
EDIT:
Oh and this is the programmer I'm using![]()

It's clear now, it a device programmer OR device programmer software problem. Here's the dump of the PIC when i reload it
as you see, it far different from yours...Code::020000040000FA :100000003EEF00F0010E09B0E84609B2E84609B239 :10001000E84609B4E83A1200046A036EFF0E0326AC :10002000D8A00426D8A03BEF00F0030E026EDF0E2E :1000300002D8F4D7026AE80F016E021EFC0ED8A0A7 :1000400003D00126D8B0FDD701260400023EF9D71F :1000500001B000D001A202D0000000D01200096E51 :1000600002EC00F0016A026A09A6016E09B6026E8E :1000700001503BEF00F00001040012000F0EC16EB2 :10008000936A816A1C6A0400080E1C5CD8B051EFA8 :1000900000F01C50E4DF816EFA0EBEDF1C2AD8A4EB :1000A000F2D7FF0E816EFA0EB7DFECD7FFFFFFFF2E **** and later we get ***** :0200000400F00A :08000000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF00 :08000800FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF8 :08001000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF0 :08001800FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFE8 :08002000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFE0 :08002800FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFD8 :08003000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFD0 :08003800FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFC8 :08004000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFC0 :08004800FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFB8 :08005000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFB0 :08005800FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFA8 :08006000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFA0 :08006800FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF98 :08007000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF90 :08007800FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF88 :08008000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF80 :08008800FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF78 :08009000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF70 :08009800FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF68 :0800A000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF60 :0800A800FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF58 :0800B000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF50 :0800B800FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF48 :0800C000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF40 :0800C800FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF38 :0800D000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF30 :0800D800FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF28 :0800E000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF20 :0800E800FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF18 :0800F000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF10 :0800F800FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF08 :020000040020DA :08000000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF00 :020000040030CA :0E00000000000E1E0080A1000FC00FE00F4098 :00000001FF
Yours can't work, let's see the first lines... wich are supposed to be the program stuff
totally blankCode::1000000000000000000000000000000000000000F0 :1000100000000000000000000000000000000000E0 :1000200000000000000000000000000000000000D0 :1000300000000000000000000000000000000000C0 :1000400000000000000000000000000000000000B0 :1000500000000000000000000000000000000000A0 :100060000000000000000000000000000000000090 :100070000000000000000000000000000000000080 :100080000000000000000000000000000000000070 :100090000000000000000000000000000000000060 :1000A0000000000000000000000000000000000050
and the lasts lines...
those are good so far. If i program my PIC here with the dump you sent... i have nothing working... same thing as you get on your side.Code::0800C800FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF38 :0800D000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF30 :0800D800FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF28 :0800E000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF20 :0800E800FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF18 :0800F000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF10 :0800F800FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF08 :020000040020DA :08000000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF00 :020000040030CA :0E00000000000E1E0080A1000FC00FE00F4098 :00000001FF
So use another device programmer AND/or another software to fix the problem.
Woohoo we got it
Did your tried the capacitor stuff?

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
