Hi all, I've been using the MCP-USB programmer from Sparkfun/OLIMEX (a PICSTART PLUS clone that uses an 18F252 and different firmware) for quite some time now, and I recently got a sample of some new 18F parts. They require an upgrade to the programmer's firmware. MPLAB gave me a warning message saying that I needed to upgrade the firmware, and I blindly assumed I could use the PICSTART PLUS upgrade in MPLAB. I am pretty sure I messed up the 18F252 chip in the programmer. I have another programmer, an ICD2 clone. I need the HEX file for the MCP-USB to re-program the 18F252. Does anyone have this HEX file, or could you possibly read the chip you have in your MCP-USB programmer to get the firmware for me. I have the upgrade_v123.exe and UPGRADE-128.exe programs on my computer. hex files can be emailed to me at goldscott@gmail.com Thank you very much, Scott -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
