16f883

Absolutely, almost fabulous.

Everything works, up to the verify stage of the programmer without so much as a burp, but then:

Code verify error at 0000
3FFF should be 2828

and on and on it goes 3FFF at 0001, 3FFF at 0002 etc etc.
Erasing the target doesn't clear it.

I have had the same type of problems with the MElabs U2 programmer. The only way I could fix it was to reload the defaults to the programmer.

meProg - Options - More Options - Set Options to Default

I have not had this problem with other chips but the 16F883 seems to do it late and night or early in the morning. I went so far as to think my programmer was either out of date or broken. I purchased a new one with updated code and it did the same thing. Restoring defaults does seem to fix the strange errors with the U2.

Reset it a couple of times, and same issue. I am going to contact MeLabs over this one....

Once again Charles comes through. It was the U2 programmer, indirectly. MeLabs updated the programmer code after the 883 chip was released. When the programmer was up-issued to 4.31 from 4.20 it worked exactly as it should. The firmware is current at #56.

Thanks all for the help!
