File does not contain a device ID value ?

[Guest Synthex]

Hello everybody,

Here is a question from an electronics-dummy.

I'm trying to program the PIC 16F877 (I know, it's the OLD one, but it's good enough for me !)

I'm using "JDM", "IC-Prog" and the following HEX-file:

"midibox64_v101b_mbhp.hex".

I replaced a line in this HEX-file just like Thorsten said.

I want to use the MIDI-to-COM so i replaced this HEX-line ":1043F00" with the following line ":1043F00000000000000000000000000000001000AD" which ENABLES the MIDI-to-COM and gives an DEVICE ID ""0". So far so good ? But then IC-Prog says that my adjusted file does not contain a device ID value. I also tried DEVICE ID "1". The same thing happens in IC-prog. Is this good or bad ? Did i do something wrong here ?

Thanks in advance for your response !

Not much help but...

have you not got an LCD just change it via the menu if you have

Hi LO,

No, I haven't got an LCD yet....

It's soo strange ! Programming and verifying the PIC with IC-Prog goes well. But Evertime I get that strange message. Can I correct the DEVICE ID when i have an LCD hooked on it ?

Don't worry, another device ID is meant here which isn't essential. You can disable this dummy warning somewhere in the IC-Prog preferences.

Best Regards, Thorsten.
