Microcode studio "device not found"

[srspinho]

Hi Andrew,

I had this problem two times : the first time in my Desktop computer and the second one in my Notebook.

Both were fixed the same way :

When the MPLAB was installed on my computers, the directories used were :

C:\Program Files\Microchip\Docs
C:\Program Files\Microchip\MpAM
C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPASM Suite
C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB ASM30 Suite
C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE
C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE Common
C:\Program Files\Microchip\Third Party

When I started using the Darrel Instant interrupts I had to change to MPASM, but he <Find Automatically> button found the MPLAB installed by the Proteus VSM. I think that MCS uses the first MPASM found on the Disk, and the 16f877.inc could not be found.

I had to change manually to (in my case) :

C:\Program Files\microchip\mpasm suite

And then, everything become ok !

I hope this could help you !

Bye

Sérgio

Hi Sergio,

That sorted out the MPASM version, thanks, but I'm still getting "Target device does not match selected device".

You are selecting the correct PIC in the dropdown list in MCS ?

The other thing you can do is copy all the .inc files from the Microchip folder to the PBP folder

Selected the correct PICS but they come up as

Microcode Studio (3.0.0.5): 16F628A
Melabs programmer (4.20 beta): PIC16F628A

Does that matter ?

Rooting around what I find for the .INC files is:

PBP folder: M16F62XA.INC
MPASM Suite folder: P16F628A.INC

Again, does that matter ??
