Post by thread:[PIC]: Using ICD for ICSP

Friends, After all this talk of the usefulness of the ICD I gave in and bought one. Received it this morning and have been playing with it. I noticed that once I program the PIC (16F877) that is on the ICD header that you can put in a 40 pin socket to run your application, after I "RESET" the PIC it works fine. After I remove the power and then turn it back on with the ICD programming part attatched my application doesn't work anymore. I thought that the ICD could also be used to program PICs in-circuit, like using the PRO MATE ICSP header. Am I wrong in this? Or am I just doing something wrong?? Any help would be appreciated!!

Turn OFF the "Debug_Mode" switch in the programming config window. This downloads a monitor program into the top of the PIC memory space and hi-jacks normal operation. Caught me out too. Pete > {Original Message removed}

Pete, Thanks ALOT!!! Works perfectly now!!! Designing a large RF relay switching matrix in a rack (internal power testing), makes my life easier. Thanks again!!! Best regards, Steve {Original Message removed}

Be sure to clear the "Enable Debug Mode" checkbox in the ICD options if you are going to run the program without the ICD. Bob Ammerman RAm Systems (contract development of high performance, high function, low-level software) {Original Message removed}

What driver chip or transistor did you use between your pic chip and the relays? I am also working on a project that will use relays (255ma 24voltDC). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kosmerchock, Steve" <spam_OUTSteve.KosmerchockTakeThisOuTRFSAMERICAS.COM> To: <.....PICLISTKILLspam@spam@MITVMA.MIT.EDU> Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2001 5:53 AM Subject: Re: [PIC]: Using ICD for ICSP > Pete, > > Thanks ALOT!!!
