EB-006 chip support

[walbeek]

Hi there,

We have several E-block modules for testing.
For a new project we want to use a PIC16F18857 chip with an OLED display and some I/O.
I have made a simple Flowcode program to write the OLED display.
When connected to e E-Block 2 programmer the display works.
For testing I would like to use the older E-Block modules with the EB-006 programmer.
However, the chip is not detected now and the program doesn't seem to run.

In the Mloader list, the 16F18857is listed so I asume it's supported?
Please see the error message below, what's going wrong?
Please let me now is this should work or not.

Thanks, Rinie

Hello,

I'm afraid the EB006 doesn't support these newer chips as they have a new programming method. The chip is included in mLoader as the new EB2 boards do support the new programming method.

You could use a PICkit 3/4 via the onboard ICSP header to reprogram the chip in the EB006 board.
