Thanks Wayne -- I didn't mean that CCSLoad was clearing the EEPROM, I mean the IDE clears it when I recompile code and it loads it into the chip for debugging in the IDE.

As far as I can tell the I ...

I'm using PCWH and have found that the IDE writes the chip Data EEPROM every time a new file is loaded to the chip for debugging.

Is there a way to disable this and only write the program memory an ...

The last couple PIC projects I've done were with 18FxxJ parts and both PCWH (4.058) and ICD-U40 have given us no troubles. We are exercising the parts pretty heavily -- using (2) UARTs, two timers, PW ...

If you look on Page 4 of the datasheet you'll find a section called "Functional Description". It has several paragraphs that explain exactly the theory of operation of the chip and how it wo ...

SparkFun also sells serial LCDs and LCD serial "backpacks":

You are saying you had the gate of a logic level FET tied to RB6 and it stopped the ICD from communicating with the PIC?

If so, it certainly wasn't the input impedance of the FET. The FET will have ...

There is a standalone program for the ICD called ICD Control Program. I forget if it's installed with PCWH or separately -- I think you may have to install it separately. It is the standalone programm ...

This is a little off-topic, but I wish Microchip would spiff up their peripheral mix a bit and add more hardware PWM channels to a few PICs, especially in the 18F family. I know they have added some f ...

Thanks guys -- Sounds like 3.236 is pretty stable, I'll try it first and then 3.249 if I have any problems.

I'm starting a new project converting an old PIC 16C design to a PIC18F452 (or 18F4520). The old software was written in BytCraft MPC so it's very similar to CCS but some conversion will be necessary. ...

Another thing to think about is the power consumption of an oscillator can. Most of the cans I've seen are spec'd at 20 mA of supply current or more. This can be a rude awakening when you realize the ...

You're not likely to find much in a DIP package these days. Sad but true for hobbyists. In my consulting business I can only think of one or two DIP parts I've used in a new design in the past five ye ...

I received a notification yesterday also.

I have run PCWH under Win98SE on a Dell LM166ST laptop (same CPU) and it ran OK. Not super speedy but acceptable to me. I keep this laptop very stripped down, software-wise and use it mostly as a deve ...

If I'm not mistaken the 8720 also had a LOT of silicon bugs when it first came out. I wouldn't be surprised if the 8722 wasn't a superset of the 8720 + fixed bugs.
