Anything you have to help will be appreciated maybe just the flow code side of things ..and is the USB cable only used for programming or can i use it to communicate with other software?

Hi,

To connect the PIC Multiprogrammer board to your PC you'll need a USB type A to B cable and plug it into your PC and multiprogrammer board.
Connect a DC 12V or 14V supply to GND and +14V.

I can't help you for labview.

Cheers,

Nicolas

Hello,

The USB socket on the EB006 is only available for programming, ICD and the Scope operation.

To allow Labview/VB/Delphi to work using USB with the EB006 board you will need the following.

18F4455 chip or other USB compatible device
4MHz crystal or other USB compatible crystal
EB055 USB E-block

The EB055 datasheet should detail everything you need to know.

An ECIO is also a great choice for doing USB communications.
