PicBasicPro+MicroCode studio plus and ICD debugging

You can get rid of the DEFINE LOADER_USED 1. This one can't use a bootloader.

Are you clicking the ICD Compile/Program button before programming your 628?

Have you verified your serial connection?

Hi Bruce,

Ok, I'll get rid of it...

DEFINE LOADER_USED 1... I tried it without.

Connections on the PC or the max232?

On my laptop I got USB to DB9 connector...worked 2 minutes
and I did get too PCMCIA to rs232...with Vista

Connection from max232 to DB9 male seems allright

Be patient with me I new with this...tanks again...

[michel]

To be sure...on that drawing from microcode...that DB9 shematic is female configuration...is it?

If so...I used a male and pins are upside down

Before you can get ICD working you need to make sure you have a good serial connection.
If you can send/receive serial data between the PIC & PC it should work fine with the ICD.

If not, then you'll need to fix that first.

Connection are good on serial!


I can get the 628 to blink led without connecting to max232 with that code....

' Example program to blink an LED connected to PORTA.0 about
' once a second
'DEFINE LOADER_USED 1
'DEFINE OSC 4
trisA.0 = 0


x var byte
led var porta.0


loop:
x=1 ' Turn on LED connected to PORTB.0
led=x
Pause 500 ' Delay for .5 seconds

x=0 ' Turn on LED connected to PORTB.0
led=x ' Turn off LED connected to PORTB.0
Pause 500 ' Delay for .5 seconds

Goto loop ' Go back to loop and blink LED forever
End

To get RX and TX working on 628 should i put line in code to get it to send and receive or ICD complile does it for me....

I do select the right COM to run program....witch is COM9 for me....is a PCMCIA card to RS232.
