Override ICD pins causes failure to communicate
Posted: Fri Mar 20, 2015 3:25 pm
I've got a problem using the ICD/Ghost. ICD works when using the default pins (RB6/RB7) but crashes with anything else (see error.jpg).

I'm only running a simple 'flash an LED' program on a PIC16F877A (can't get much simpler) in Flowcode v6.1.0.0 (08.10.14) and a Ver 9 EB-006. Setup shown in setup.bmp.

I notice that in the Help Wiki it says "you can in theory use any I/O pin for the ICD" - is this still a theory or has anyone tried it in practice? It's obviously a workroundable problem but I find PORTB rather useful and I'd prefer to use PORTE and not "lose" two pins from PORTB.
Best regards,
Nick
