Nice to have an application like that.

At the moment my ICD2 are damaged, so I can't test it, but thanks.

Off topic: When the ALT-DVB 3? Very Happy

I'm using the program voor a few days, and I have some problems.

I have a program witch I can program whit my old programmer. Also I can program my PIC 18F4523 with MLAB using my new ICD2 Clone.

I'm started whit a small program and that works fine with ProgICD2.exe. I had no problems, but my program gets bigger and now I have a problem.

This is the log off ProgICD2.exe:
everything is OK and then:
Write Code ERROR
Write error (993 words)

My original HEX file is 5.710 bytes, but when I do a read after program error, the HEX file has become 5.739 bytes.
I have compare the both files and there are small diference:

Original HEX:

Code:

:020000040000FA
:04000000F0EF00F02D
:080008000F0EEA6E00C0E9FFD3
:10001000011CECEC00F003500410D8B41200E7EC23
........no difference with other file

:1007B0003F94010E086EF40E35EC00F0DAD703001A
:0207C000FED762
:020000040030CA
:03000100021F1EBD
:020005008385F1
:060008000FC00FE00F40E5
:00000001FF

HEX file after read:

Code:

:020000040000FA
:10000000F0EF00F0FFFFFFFF0F0EEA6E00C0E9FF08
:10001000011CECEC00F003500410D8B41200E7EC23
:1000200000F000C0E9FF0150EF1A000000D000D03E
........no difference with other file

:1007B0003F94010E086EF40E35EC00F0DAD703001A
:0207C000FED762

:020000040020DA
:08000000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF00

:020000040030CA
:0E00000000021F1E008385000FC00FE00F409E

:00000001FF

I will attach the both files, by the way, with my old programmer and with MLAB it still works without errors. Mayby some one can help.
