I need to program the EEPROMS in a number of 16F84 pics, I have MPLAB and Picstart Plus. I need to put the same 64 bytes in each chip. I can't find any obvious way of doing this with MPLAB. Can I program the 64 eeprom bytes from a file or something? I can set the eeprom to the correct data using the "modify" box, and program a batch, but when I come back to MPLAB a few days later the eeprom memory has all returned to FF. This is a huge hassle for me! How do I do this? Thanks if anyone can help! Roman -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
