Posted - 07/27/2023 : 06:03:45 Hi, Because I have to install as admin on this machine but run as user, the device.text and other files go into C:\users\admin\APPDAT\roaming\mcumall\GQ USB Programmer. I copied the folder to C:\users\my_name\APPDAT\roaming\mcumall\GQ USB Programmer. Still no joy unless I run the prog as admin (pain in the a**e!). I copied the folder contents to the Program Files(x86)\ GQ USB Programmer folder and it now works.
Bit of a clunky install on Win10 if the user is not also administrator. Suspect a windows security thing, but this now works. |

Posted - 08/01/2023 : 05:19:48 Revise that! I copied the files into C:\users\"My_name"\APPDAT\roaming\mcumall\GQ USB Programmer (where "my_name" is the user's name) after installing as admin.
I do have an issue where my Hex file (generated by MikroBasic) loads but does not transfer the CONFIG settings. This is a 540 Byte file (PIC is 12F629 with very small program). I got around this by programming a chip in MikroElektronika EasyPic7 then copied and saved the hex file in USBprog. That worked but gave a massive 659KB file. This is not the ideal way obviously, but no matetr what I set in the CFG or config tabs of USBprog, it is not saved.
Is this an issue with USBprog, the programmer or Intel hex files in general? |

Good detective work! |
