Pic Help

Trying to program my sshub, but dont know which pic to use.

Can you be more specific about what exactly you are doing, and what exactly the issue is? Also, have you referenced these links?

For example, the etherdongle requires the following (Select "PIC32MX795F512L" from the "Device:" drop down list.). What is the pic for the sshub?

Fantastic! Thanks Steve

I've stuggled with this before too, because you don't need the jumpers for many of the boards, so I don't look there.  Could this information be added to the wiki or the assembly manual for each board, so it is easier to find?

Sure the info can be added. Here is the real problem. With the pickit2 program it identifies the correct pic (of course it won't work with the etherdongle pic). So why can't microchip get the pickit3 program to identify the pic?? Maybe we could ask a member who also works for microchip that question.

I guess the short term answer is to add the info.

I just look on my order from Mouser or hte bom in the wiki if the printing on the chip itself isn't very clear. But yes it would be nice for the pickit 3 to auto identify, it can tell when you've got the wrong one as it is.

If you can get at least the first part of the PIC address correct, it will come up with an error message and the correct, full PIC ID for you. (like PIC24F...... and just pick the first one).

Though I like the chart listed above. I was always going back to the BOM.

I added the PIC info to the equipment page of each current active item.

Hope that helps

It doesn't identify them becauseit isn't the same device.  Don't tink that the Pickit-3 is an advanced Pickit-2, it isn't.  The Pickit-2 is a PIC programmer and the Pickit-3 is a combination device that incorporates the ability to program PIC's like the Pikit-2 and the inline diagnostic capability of one of there big dollar devices.

So you now work for microchip?

Still the program is Beta and it doesn't fully work. Its been in beta for a while now and it sure would be nice if they updated the program. Microchip lists both devices as a debugger

I never said that I "tink" what the pickit3 was an advanced pickit2.

Not once in this thread did I see a mention that this was an active hub.  Probably a safe assumption, but let's not forget that there are multiple types of sshubs and only one has a microchip.

and only one has a microchip.
