a dumb question - dsPIC'4013 programming

[dougy83]

Hi, I would like to program a dsPIC30F4013 for a little test, but I can't get it to do anything. I can't program it with an ICD2 clone, however I can program it (according to winpic prog S/W) with a JDM-type prog cct.

Does anyone have a known-to-be-working compiled .hex file to make it do something; e.g. flash LED, output pulse, etc. I'm not after anything fancy, I just want to know if my setup is suitable for this pic. Configuration for internal oscillator would be preferred if it's not too much to ask...

Thanks!

Does this help?

Thanks Mike. It may help, I'll try it tonight, I'll have to get the C30 compiler.

The dsPIC30F4013 works a lot like other pics except the dsPIC series (most of them) has got a lat register and a port register. To be able to make a LED blink, you need to write to the lat register. BUT, for other applications where you want to use a port as an input, you need to read from the port registers. In short. Read from the port, write to the lat.

Also remember to set the ADPCFG = 0xFFFF to set the pins as digital.

Hope that helps.

Solidsnake I think that PORT/LAT stuff is for all 18F series also.

Thanks for the reply. This thread is as old as the hills, and I didn't expect anyone to reply to it. Anyway, the problem was that the ICD2 (a stolz clone) is a piece of junk: when I coughed up some money (it's surprisingly cheap) for a PicKit2, my code worked first go.
