Pic Development Board

Hi, F lez

For RB6 and RB7 behaviour ...

what are the other functions of those pins ??? ... especially at programming time ???

Well at programming time I'd expect them to be programming the pic......

was no use to make a video to show us everything normal ...

Thats ok, I didnt do that, I made a video showing abnormal behavior, if you watch it again, rb6 and r7 do not go logic high for some time after, even though rb0 to rb5 work ok.

Consider yourself lucky the programming was OK with leds attached to these pins.

Yes I have fell foul of that before, and expected to have to disconnect them, but it seems the inbuilt programmer does not have an issue with it.

Have a good cup of coffee and after that, look at what is "ICSP" ...

Been their done that, but its not exactly as ''on the fly' as this board provides.

PS: you can download [freely] the EasyPic5 manuals : there are lots of info to help you understand what you consider as " problems " or " misfunctionning ".

Well it would if the hardware was the same maybe, and as this issue is with the inbuilt programmer, I doubt it will shed much light. easypic does seem to have better/more docs though.


As to the rb6 rb7 issues, they have admitted its a ''feature'' that after usb access the inbuilt programmer does not release them for a few seconds, as shown in my video.



I know you all say ''should have got an easypic5'' well, I must admit, I do kind of wish I had, but it was going to cost more, and did not come in my favourite colour...........
