Title: Flashing a chip again...
Post by: Christmasaddict on September 21, 2010,

Could someone please tell me where on this board or Wiki does it tell me what settings to use to flash a PIC for a Dongle?  I flashed one as well as PIC's for my Lynx Express units but now when I tried to flash another PIC for my V2 dongle it will not work.  The last message I got was that the file was too large for the PIC???  I am using the PICKit 2.

What are you using as a programming carrier or socket for the dongle pic (18F2450)?  They are different chips and require different connections.   <wd..

See: http://diylightanimation.com/wiki/index.php?title=Bare_bones_PIC18F_programmer_interface (http://diylightanimation.com/wiki/index.php?title=Bare_bones_PIC18F_programmer_interface) and http://diylightanimation.com/wiki/index.php?title=PIC_Programming_with_the_PICkit_3 (http://diylightanimation.com/wiki/index.php?title=PIC_Programming_with_the_PICkit_3)

This is information for programming the dongle PIC using the PICKit 3 - of course, the procedure will be different for the PICKit 2 - but should help, never the less. There's other information on the WIKI as well. Go to the WIKI. In the upper left-hand links section, click on FAQ (http://diylightanimation.com/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ (http://diylightanimation.com/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ)) and scroll down to the "PIC (micro-controller)" section.

Hope this helps.

I'm not sure if it's required, but I always erase the PIC's before I try to reflash them with new firmware, work's for me,

I am using the ICSP28 Adaptor.  I have all of the L pins jumped.

Thanks for everyone's help.  I'm not sure what I did or how I did it but I got it programmed.  Or so it says...
