Re: [Usbpicprog-technical] firmware 0.4.1 and P16f88

[Frans S. <fra...@gm...>]

Dear Jasper Wallace,

I have been checking the firmware, and the only difference between 0.4.1
and 0.4.0 concerning autodetection of pic16F devices is that
autodetection now occurs with VPP before VDD. I have uploaded a
(possible) fix to launchpad, revision 978. r978 is now building on
launchpad, you could check
https://launchpad.net/~fransschreuder1/+archive/usbpicprog-devel for it
to become ready.
Could you try the usbpicprog-devel PPA and see if this fixes the problem
for you (with firmware 0.4.1 of course)?

Thank you for your report.

Kind regards,

Frans Schreuder
