just looked I have what you have posted

here is the offending error message

(902) no chip name specified; use "XC8 --CHIPINFO" to see available chip names
(908) exit status = 1

C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode\Compilers\picv2\pic\bin\xc8.exe reported error code 0x1

Thank you Martin and I have noted your comment on compiler messages.

HI All
I have just come back to compile a hex file and I have been getting errors, even though I changed nothing at this point. I did try to make some changes in the compiler options but still having issues. I will attach a screen shot I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction please.

I ran out of I/O so do not use the decimal point but say it is connected to B1 just to satisfy the software. I hadn't realised I did not need the common pin until I'd already layed out the board .

@martin the display gives me "8" before anything is pressed.

Thanks both

Weird one this. Works as expected in simulation but when I program the board the 7 segment display has "8" illuminated. If you press a digit on the keypad, the correct digit displays but as soon as you remove your finger 8 is illuminated again.

It is such a simple program surely this is a bug and ...

So I am playing with my development board. I could not get it to program directly via flowcode but I can at least compile to hex and use a modified pickit2 programming software to successfully program my 16F18877 target. (This does help promote flowcode to hobbyists using a free target).

Anyway on ...

I didn't think I needed any software?

OK so pickit3 arrived and I am still having issues as below can anyone suggest what this may be?

Compilation successful!

Thank you all for your help I will get a pickit3 on order

Thanks again it is the help available from everyone that makes this software a good investment

Thank you all

Thank you for the reply. I tried your file and I am getting the same problem: Could not find device PIC16F18877.
