New bad surprise

#1 Post by david66 » 07 Apr 2009 15:05

I have projects with dsPIC33FJ32GP202 and 204 which are not supported by mikroC compiler for dsPIC 30/33 and PIC 24
so i change for PIC24FJ32GA202 and 204 which are in the mikroC compiler for dsPIC 30/33 and PIC 24
I buy 4 LV24-33 programmers for my students and now we have finished the hardware, we want to program the PIC24 and new surprise : the PIC24FJ32GA202/4 which are in the compiler are not in the LV24-33 programmer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What can i do ?

wait for a next release in six months ?
suicide
no add on no new release for the users !

it"s surrealist

In a similar situation - I switched my entire project over to Microchip's C30 and ICD3. Everything works now. Would have loved to stay with mikroE but they are simply taking too long to update.

Me too I'm thinking to go for CCS; It's been almost 2 years for the last mikroe dspic C release; it's untenable for someone who works with new chips; Mikroe should definetely do more in that departement to keep the pace..

Hi,

New lvPICFlash programmer will be available very soon on our web site.
Also this new version will support mentioned MCU along with a lot of new chips.
We are waiting some samples in order to test this new release.
If you want beta version of new programmer, I am willing to send it to you.
You can contact me at marko.medic@mikroe.com.

Best Regards

Hi Marko-

In previous posts, it was suggested that the addition of new supported MCUs would be via a software update. In this post, it says a new physical (hardware) programmer is involved. So, two questions.

First is, for those of us with 'older' programmers, what will be the policy regarding upgrading, if in fact a hardware change is needed?

Second, is there a list of unsupported dsPICs you can post? In some messages on the boards, users report that IDE support does not imply lvPicFlash support. I dont want to play a guessing game with new designs, and I cant assume a solution will be available this month, or this quarter.

Hi,

In previous post i was referring on software updates.
And they are valid for all USB 2.0 lvPICFlash programmers.
You can download latest version of our lvPICFlash:
http://www.mikroe.com/zip/lvpicflash_pr ... r_v113.zip
and check MCU list in order to be sure if MCU, with which you intend to work, is supported.

Best Regards
