good morning, having a little trouble with programing these devices.
when downloading to chip on eboo6 v9 it detects a 16f747 not the subject chips

Mloader is the same
at the end of programing I get a little code protect error
am I doing something silly or is there a problem with the mloader files?

cheers for any help.

sorry forgot to mention I am using v8 of flowcode on windows 7 64bit system.
And Chip Config Settings are attached

Hello Dazza,

I'm afraid the EB006 programmer does not have the firmware to allow it to program these newer devices. Microchip re-wrote the rules for programming with these newer devices. We added support for them in the new EB2 boards but currently the older EB1 boards do not have support.

If you have access to a PICkit 3 or 4 then you could program the chips using the ICSP header on the board.

thank you ben for your reply, this will be quite annoying for me im guessing. do all the old eb boards work with the new programmer with the connectors you sell? or do I have to buy all new boards to go with it?

Hi Dazza,

Yes old EB downstream boards should work fine with EB2 upstream using the adapters. Or a PICkit 3/4 may be a better way to go if you are happy with your current EB setup.
