PIC16F1717

[Maverick]

Hi
Is there a way to program a PIC16F1717 (possibly using an alternative part) using either an EB006 or BL0080 as the part does not appear on MLOADER list for either dev board

I selected a 16f1936 part on mloader and managed to program the 16F1717 with no errors and it seemed to run the code. Is there anything that could likely go wrong with the programmed chip doing this?

That's interesting - thanks for letting us know.

A few things that could go wrong include parts of the chip memory not being updated and issues with the configuration word. But if it seems to work and you have tested your program fully when it is running in the chip then it should be fine.

Hello,

That's excellent well done, shoudn't be any issues, if the codes gone in and is working ok then the erase, program and config should all have been done correctly and you should be fine.

Aha Steve beat me to it

Unfortunatly, not everything works as it's meant to, I will try other options.
Is there an alternative to mloader using pickit3 without installing mplab.

Hello Maverick.
This is one alternative for PICkit3.
It does look like the 16F1717 is included within the device-supported list
