Matrix user forums

I'm glad it's not just me. And as I said there's an easy workaround. It doesn't appear to be any particular configuration and I get slightly different results with various chips of the same type. Looking at the circuit doesn't give any clues and it works ok every time with a 18f4550,16f877a and 16f8...

Hi,

Thanks for your efforts. This is a problem I can live with as I can still program the chips but it seems strange. I have the matrix power supply and it's set to 13.5V. I'm thinking it might be some sort of decoupling problem??? Time to get the scope out I think.

Cheers.

Hi,

loaded your program but it was set to 16f84. Sorry I should have posted the version set to 16f628A. Ran config autodetect to set it to 16f628a and set for XTAL operation. Still the same.

Thanks.

Hi John, The problem I'm having is with all flowchart programs on this chip. For example a loop with a delay turning on and off a led at 100ms intervals. If I set the board to slow/RC then it will program the chip with no errors and the program will run as expected when switched to XTAL. But if I tr...

Hi, I'm using an E-blocks programmer EB-006. I can only seem to be able to program the chip with the osc switches set to slow/RC. If I set it to XTAL and fast I get a message saying the chip hasn't been erased and programming failed. Once programmed I can set the switch to XTAL and the code will run...
