16f87 Write Flash failed errors [solved]
#1
Using an F87 with Max3222 at 4.5 volts.
Programs fine with a full programmer keep getting timeouts on the DS30 loader ? I saw a few other posts and no real solutions.
Any ideas ???

I did notice this in the settings.inc file
#define BLPLW 256
;bootloader placement, words from end, should be a multiple of 64

DS Loader says under Info Window
Start Address 0xF40

I changed to Custom Boot Loader under advanced and said
placement 1 page from the end size 1 page

Attached is fully working configuration PIC16F87. If that doesn't work for you, you have a problem with your hardware.

Dont set custom boot loader in the gui.

OK, got it working. I think my voltage was a little high on the test bench. I saw some glitching in the terminal softare. The max3222 calls for 0.1 uf caps from 3.0 to 3.6volts. I have it working now in the range of 3 volts which is what I needed to interface with the transceiver module.

Thanks for your help !
