Anyhow, something has been learned, rb6 and rb7 have odd behavior for a few seconds after a program, for odd read 'dont work'

also noticed board says programmer is v1.5, software identifies it as a 1.2 and offers to upgrade it to 1.3......(made no difference)

emailed about the rb6/7 issue, maybe its in my manual, they may send it one day....
This was what made me choose the EasyPIC5. The fact that the thing came with printed manuals, has a good active forum, customer support that understands English and that some of the experienced guys here aslo use the board made me opt for the EastPIC board.

Yes the LCD example needs tweeking to work with the board, but I opted to change the port in the code (no other choice really !) - but then thats what we're her to do, learn how to program.

I feel for you. Its nothing worse having something that doesn't meet up with your expectations, and becomes hard to get working. Maybe I was lucky, as my EasyPIC board installed firts time, software loaded OK, and programming is a breeze (after I was instructed in the above post on where the exe was )

Hope you get things resolved soon
