Mplab 7.10 ???? - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free

Kryten · 5th May 2008, 01:07 PM

Does anyone know where i can find a downloable version of MPLAB 7.10. This as the Stoltz version (at least the hex file ICD660.hex) wont work with mplab v8.00

Plz help me if you know where to download either a hex/ bootloader that works or mplab 7.1

Kryten · 5th May 2008, 01:31 PM

Well I cant actually tell if it works or not as mplab 80 cant open the series port (im using a USB to serial adaptor)

EDIT:
error messages:
ICDWarn0027: The selected baud rate is not supported by your system. Chances are it will work anyway, but if persistent communications occur, consider switching to a lower baud rate.
ICD0019: Communications: Failed to open port: (Windows::GetLastError() = 0x2, 'Systemet finner ikke angitt fil.
')
ICD0021: Unable to connect with MPLAB ICD 2
MPLAB ICD 2 Ready

Two things.

Instead of downgrading MPLAB why not upgreade the firmware in the ICD2?
It is supplied with each version of MPLAB. MPLAB knows how to update the firmaware in an ICD2.

Are you sure the problem is not with the USB to RS232 adaptor?

By the way, MPLAB has ver8.10 now Hope many people would have already downloaded it by now.

As 3V0 mentioned new firmware will allow your Stolz ICD2 to work with MPLAB 8.xx

Kryten · 5th May 2008, 03:56 PM

Ok Is it the BL0101010101.hex that is in the MPLAB directory?

Dont think its anything wrong with my rs232 adaptor

edit:
Dose anyone know a fast and easy way to test if it is my rs232 adaptor??

blueroomelectronics · 5th May 2008, 03:58 PM

Yes, that's it, as long as you're using a 16F877 (non A type) Else you need a modified bootloader for the 16F877A (on my site)

Kryten · 5th May 2008, 04:11 PM

Will it work with a 16f876A??
Belive i have read some where that it was the same bootloader for 877a and 876a pleas correct me if im wrong (I aim to learn as much as i can)

blueroomelectronics · 5th May 2008, 04:37 PM

Yes same thing. It'll work for both.

Reassign your USB adaptor to COM1.
