Hello everybody, could somebody please tell me why I cant convert to hex. I've attached the screen grab of my settings and the eerror.

Do these settings change from program to program? I tried using the same settingsd the last time I programmed a 16F690 PIC but must have made an error along the line.

Have also attached the program. Thanks so much for your help - John

If you read the errors carefully you will notice the error is generated by the linker, not the programmer. I suspect the spaces in your filename are the cause of the error. Try saving the Flowcode file without spaces in the name.

Thanks kersing, I tried that but the error was still the same.

In the hope I have made things easier for you guys, I have attached 2 files with screen grabs of my settings. Maybe I screwed something up here.

Appreciate your help,thanks again-John

tried with: watch dog: off
brown out detect : BOD disabilited and SBOREN disabilited
internal external switch over mode : disabilited
montitor clock fail- safe : disabilited

Electron67

Thanks electron67, tried all that but the error report is still the same.

I have done a screen grab of it as this will be better than me trying to explain it.

Any help out there will be appreciated. Thanks a lot........John

Have a check in Compiler options/Compiler if the parameters are

For location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode\v5\Tools\boostc\boostc_pic18_flowcode.exe

For parameters :

-v -t PIC%p "%f.c"


I think you set the "Programmer" params of PICkit in the Compilers params

Thanks for the reply crenwick, but it seems to have got worse as now it wont compile to c either!!!!

Thanks anyway......John

Hi John,

It looks like you are missing spaces in both the location and parameters. Also, are you using 64 bit windows? If not remove " (x86)" from the location.

+1 with Jac

Tried that did not work. I have attached more screen grabs, hopefully somebody will see me right on this.

Thanks to all for their help so far...............John

Now your location is missing a few characters.

Please cut-and-paste the two strings listed below: Alternatively, select <default> from the option list to reset to (hopefully) known good values. Try to build to HEX (Arrow pointing to white box with 10001) before changing the programmer settings.

Thanks a lot kersing, really appreciate your effort to help me. Its compiled to C and to HEX with no errors.

I'll burn the chip later tonight and see what happens.

Really appreciate your guys time.

Many Thanks..........John
