I'm in the UK (Bristol),. Thank you for the Zoom call offer, that could be really useful. Unfortunately I can only do evenings Mon to Weds but can do Thursday daytime this week, if that could work for you. Did you want to Zoom to the PC or to another computer / phone?

GCStudio presents the splash screen with options about where to pick up and then moves to the IDE when the point to restart is selected. (Screenshot attached) The screenshot is GCCODE not GCSTUDIO, and, I cannot see there 'restart is selected' Can you clarify what is going on ? Sorry for the confusion, you are of course quite correct that I attached the screenshot of GCCode, I tried to attach a copy of the GCStudio start up screen but it appears only one attachment is allowed.

I have also found how to select the K150 from the GC Basic environment.

The program I am trying to flash and run is the demo program that flashes an LED: // ----- Main body of program commences here. Do Forever // PulseOut o LED for 100 milliseconds PulseOut PortB.5, 100 ms // Then wait 900 milliseconds after LED goes off Wait 900 ms Loop Operating system is Windows 11 Pro GCStudio presents the splash screen with options about where to pick up and then moves to the IDE when the point to restart is selected.

When I check the ROM it has some non -zero values of a plausible length for a simple LED flasher. There are however no flashing LEDs, so some something is still not quite right. I also do not under stand why the GC Basic icon calls up GC Studio, which does not seem to do what I need and I need to go hunt for Syn.exe, which seems to - or am I misunderstanding how the system is...

Hi Anobium Thanks for your quick response The chip is a PIC 16F877A in a K150 programmer Andrew

I need some help with a problem I am am finding in my first use of GC Basic to attempt to assemble and flash a Demo program. (Embarrassing or what!) GC Basic was downloaded on about 19 March 2025 The relevant report from the IDE is below: Program assembled successfully (Assembly time: 0.031 seconds) Downloading program ...PICKit+ Cmd5v0 [Maintain Power @ 5v0] An error has been found: Error: Programmer executable not found - C:\GCstudio\gcbasic..\PICKitPlus\PICKitCommandline.exe What I can't figure...
