Configuring IC Prog

[Malc C]

I know a lot of you guys program your PICs using IC-Prog, so I need your advice.

Is there any way of adding a new PIC to the list available. I've just received a 18F2550 (Flash version of the 16C745) but this appears not to be supported in the current release according to the IC-Prog web site.

I've checked my PC but can't see any INI file, and the program appears to be a standalone EXE so I assume the supported devices has to be hard coded into the application ?

The IC-Prog program does not allow the user to create new device libraries. That would be a nice feature though.

Malc,
goto the ic-prog website and check you have the latest version.
They have a forum somewhere as well, IIRC, as well as a list of
devices supported. I think RC-CAM is right - the supported devices are
hard coded into ic-prog.
So what USB project are we working on then?

RC- thats what I thought... means that each time a new PIC is released a new version of the application is needed :(

Texy - Nothing at the moment, Just aquired some samples and wanted to see if current code written for 16C745 actually work with this chip ??

just an update... I've installed the latest version of WinPic (6/3/05) and this has support for the 16F2550. I've managed to get the software to recognise the Olimex PG-02 programmer and every thing looks OK.

Just need to write a short program to see if it works OK as although its pin-for-pin compatible with a 16C745, it obviously not software compatible.
