picall programmer
ahhh! so frusturating. i have had this exact error for 2 days now.
i am trying to program 16F84. i used microstudio (with pic basic pro v2.42) to compile the pbp sample program "Blink.bas". it compiles fine and produces a Hex file. i am using Picall windows version 0.13c (latest version as of oct 9th 02).
the programmer i am using is the P16PRO40, it has the part #74Ls05. according to some documents and the p16pro settings menu, i should select "kit 96" as the default hardware setup options within picall.
so i do this. within microstudio i select "compile and program".... i watch the lights on the programmer but the red program LED does not come on. then the picall program window pops up with 3FFF in all the data addresses... hmm... what happened? dunno. did anythikng program? i doubt it.
so i hit the "verify" button and i get:
Verify Error:
Program: address=0007 buffer=3FFF device=3F00
hmmm......
so then i say "forget microstudio, i'll just manually download the hex file from within picall". so, i click on program open "blink.hex". now the memorry address is filled with things other than 3FFF for the first few addresses.. ok, so it looks like i must have successfully opened blink.hex.
now i press ERASE. i watch the program LED on the programmer and it flashes RED. ok, so i guess it erased something. now i press BLANK CHECK. says "device is not blank"... but how could this be??
so i move on, and manually hit the PROGRAM button. the red LED on the programmer lights up... so it must be programming. then i get a window "device is not blank". i guess it wouldn't be blank since i just programmed something to it!
so to verify my successful program i select "VERIFY". now i get error
Verify Error:
Program: address=0000 buffer=2828 device=3FFF
anyone know what's going on here???
