MIKROC Version 6 Vs Version 7

[robertj]

I have an odd quirk with version 7. I am using Mikroelectronicas programmer. If I use CTLR/F11 in version 6 the program loads and the PIC automatically starts. In Version 7.6 I have to interrupt power to restart the PIC. This is with a 16F877. I tried a PICKIT3 and ran into the same thing. The code being generated is slightly different making POR necessary.

Hi,

Can you please explain this in details, it is really strange situation ?

For some reason when code is generated in version 7.6 the PIC being programmed requires a POR to run. With the same C code but compiled with Mikroc version 6 the Pic starts after the programmer finishes automatically. In the case of V7 once the POR is done the code works fine. The PIC was a 16F877A.

Hi,

This is the first time I heard of such issue.

Can you load both HEX files into the mikroProg Suite application to see if the POR is correctly set ?
