Does the PIC Development board v3 work with the PIC16C series of chips?
I dont think it does, which is a real shame.
Will future versions of the board support this? Is there any way I can get the 16C57, 16C71 or 16C84 working on this board?

Sorry, The PIC16C series is not supported in PPP. Im not sure about support in the future. It may be a possibility.

Hello Adam,
We actually used to support the 16C range a few years ago. We took the decision to remove support for these devices because we found that very few of our customers were using them anymore - unless you have a load of chips kicking around, you needed to use an expensive UV device that took 10 minutes to erase each time (I used to hate that so much).
But you are not the first who has asked for 16C support, so we will look into it. I am due to do some work on the PPP program in the next few months and I will try to get 16C devices working.
If anyone has a need for a particular device, please post your requirements as a reply to this topic so I can prioritise.

Specific device
Hi Steve,
The PIC 14000 is probably the only chip (?) that does not have a flash equivalent but has lots of interesting features, and is I think still supported by Microchip.
However, as I myself have only have one device I would not add C versions on my account, I personally think that there are more important tasks on the Flowcode/PPP list.
Thanks,
Mark
