    Default Melab U2 and Microcode studio Plus

    Hi everyone!

    I'm new to programming PIC...started 6 mounth ago with Basic Stamp. So gooing through all the programmer and soft...i decided to get Melab U2 and Microcode studio Plus because of the ICD debugging. I really need a debugger because i'm not experience enough.

    The problem is: on two computer...one with vista and the other XP I can't get the ICD debugging to work...the message is can't connect to PIC...Tryed everything they say. Think there is something to do with HID...mouse use HID and melab too...

    Can someone help me....will appreciate.

    Tanks

    I have MCS+, and you do not connect to the computer via the programmer to use the debugger. You use a serial connection. It is covered in the IDE help file.

    Why not? I do. Use a serial LCD, some LEDs, works fine. Not a debugger, but works great nonetheless.

    Check this website for how to connect the ICD for use with Microcode Studio. Basically you need to use a PIC with a hardware USART because the ICD code uses HSERIN and HSEROUT.
