Hay there :)
Since you seem to have the only piece of software i can come across that supports winxp sp3 in a descent way, I went ahead and tried this li'll piece of software. To me it seems to work great (Note: I'm barely an amateur in the world of electronics and PIC programming, I basically find the hex files and schematics on-line, and build them :P )
But when trying to change to the PIC12F629 chip, I get some kind of error saying that I'm missing the PIC12F629.dev file (devices\PIC12F629.dev). OK! So I found myself a file called PIC12F629.dev, and the most logical thing for me to do was to open in in notepad, and copy the contents into the devices.ini file.
Now the program wont start (kinda): can't open file 'devices\PIC12F629.dev' (error 3: the system cannot find the path specified). I press ok, but "Wx PIC Programmer" still appear in the.. open-folders-and-programs-line (Brain-freeze, can't remember the name.. :) )
Guess I shouldn't have done that, huh.. :)
Any ideas what to do?
