I'm running a GQ-4X with 4.01 software on vista32.

I notice when i use a 16F876A Pic the on screen
display show a 32pin zif socket with adapter needed.

I have a 40socket on my GQ-4x , that makes it difficult to know
where i have to put the PIC is there a workout for the software?

thx

The GQ-4X does not need adapter for 16F876A 40 pin DIP chip.

If you connect your GQ-4X, the software will show you whare the chip should placed. If you chip is 40 pin DIP, then you can place the chip in to the 40 pin ZIF directly.

OK.

Copy and paste following line in to devices.txt and restart the software.

Name="PIC16F876A*DIP28",ID="290e0",Class="PIC16F877A",Category="MCU",MFG="Microchip",CodeSize="16384",EepromSize="256",Package="DIP28",PRG_MODE="0",BEGPRG_COMMAND="8",ENDPRG_COMMAND="17",ERASECHIP_COMMAND="1F",BEGERASECHIP_COMMAND="8",PAGE_WRITE_SIZE="8",CFG_PAGE_WRITE_SIZE="4",PINVCC="ZIF32_PIN28",Adapter="ICSP/PIC adapter+, no adapter required on GQ-4X";

Select "PIC16F876A*DIP28" from software.

Thank you, but to my knowledge there is no 16F876A with 40 pins DIP so can i just
change the existing one in the devices.txt to DIP28?

FYI these are 28P 16F873A and 16F876A
following are 40P 16F874A and 16F877A

maybe good to correct these for a following sw version.
