flowcode and mikroProg

[algea]

is it possible to use mikroProg programmer with flowcode and what would be the configuration?
any pointers would be helpful. Have a configuration for pickit 2 but interested in easyPIC v7.

Hi

point the programmer location to your mikroprog exe file, and add this in the parameters box -%p -f "%f.hex" or follow this link fith post http://www.matrixmultimedia.com/mmforum ... kro#p31810

this will call mikro prog for you programmer, but you still need to do a couple of things , when mikroprog open you need to select the hex file you are using then set up the chip config, then press write,
let us know if it works

Thanx Dazz for the info did what you said and seemed to work, guess it wont go straight in and program? Is there any settings in flowcodes configure chip to make the mikroProg pickup and therefore not have to set up the configuration.

Hi
not that i've found, but if you are editing your program then the hex will be remembered, not found a way to send config from flowcode, but with the easypic board i prefer the safety net of having to recheck the config before sending, if i find a way i'll post it here

Again thanks for the info Dazz I suppose your right about the safety net! Have you had any problems with the 7-seg when writing out from flowcode?

HI
if your using a single 7 seg display you can choose between common anode and cathode, the 4 7seg is common anode, the mikro board is common cathode, i think a work around was posted on the forum a while back for the 4 7seg to allow common cathode displays to be used as common anode,
It's probably better to buy a common anode display and patch it onto the board.
I have the easypic7 but i prefer the eblocks as they are more flexible when it comes to patching into ports and pins
