MCP4261 Digital Pot

Hi All

We are trying to use the MCP4261 in a design, however when we add the component the parameters try to re-map to different pins as default. We dont need to re-map the pins and want to use the default pinout (MOSI D4, MISO D5 and CLK D6). There are no options to select these pins, even if we attempt using software mode.

We are using the 18F85K22

Thanks

As a temporary workaround, in software mode, try the "MOSI" property, rather than the "MOSI Remap Pin" property

Hi Leigh

The probelm is we cant disable the re-mapping of the pins. On the software mode re-mapping is always on, and the pins available for the remapping are not the standard hardware pins.

Thanks

Yes, I am not sure why the remap pins remain visible, looks like a bug.
Please just ignore them, and either use software, or Channel 1 for pins on port C, or Channel 2 for the pins on port D that you require.
