Microcode studio with MPLAB

[compass1982]

Hi all,

This is my 1st post in this forum and I find it very exciting learning out a lot about PIC. I have a question here. If I write my code using Microcode Studio Plus and compile it into HEX file. Is it possible that I can use MPLAB to download the program into PIC16F877A by using USB ICSP PIC Programmer V2010 (UIC00B)


thanks,
Joshua

You mean you are using microcode studio to edit & compile your program then use MPLAB to program to program the PIC chip? Though I never tried it, I think it should be possible. But there is a better way. You can use the PicKit2 programmer software to program your PIC as it is compatible with the UIC00B. The software is available at the cytron UIC00B product website.

Are you using PBP with microcode?

Hi Allen,
thanks for your reply. yes, i am planning to use PBP and microcode. hopefully i can find this software as i lost it long time ago.... >.<

That is possible, though what Allen recommend is better.

In MPLAB IDE you can choose your device and set the programmer, further import the hex and program it. But as Allen said, PICkit 2 Programmer GUI is simpler to use.

i wrote a sample program to make led to light up. but it does not seems to work after i downloaded into PIC. is there any extra setting need to be done to pickit2? below is my code:

define osc 20
CMCON = 7
ADCON1 = 7
CVRCON = 0

trisb = %0000000
portb = 0
led var portb.6

Start:
led = 1
pause 50000
led = 0
pause 500
goto Start
