PIC 16f877 and MPLAB compatibilty - Bhanu Samarth - 13:58 10-08-04
Hi all, I am working on a data acquistion part from a sensor to PC. I am using a PIC 16f877 and I have MPLAB IDE v5.61 and the ICD flash module. I wanted to know if there is anyway I could use the latest version which is MPLAB 6.6 with the ICD flash module. or would i need the ICD2(hockey puck thing) if i need to use the v6.6. Please let me know your experiences. thanks, Bhanu

I was forced to upgrade to ICD2 when my new C compiler upgrade demanded MPLAB 6.x. If you have a combination of ICD / MPLAB that does what you need, I would be inclined to keep using it. However the ICD2 is a nice bit of kit and is a good price. It also has a USB interface in addition to the standard RS232. It also supports loads more devices than the original ICD.

Hi, Thanks for the clarification. I think i will proceed with the original ICD and Mplab v5. But I dont have the 5pin cable connecting the ICD module to the demo board. Can you tell me what it is called so that I can purchase it. Thank you again.
