OK, sorry we couldn't resolve the problem remotely. We have already replied to you with information on how to return it.

Yes, I manually changed a few values in the EPROM data from within the programmer and they programmed with no problems. Are you able to do an erase (blank) OK?

If you are able to read the devices ok then this narrows it down to a programming issue. From the information you have given us you have managed to rule out a lot of possibilities and so you may want to consider returning it back to us for testing. If you decide to do this please email us a sales @ ...

I have pulled one out of stock and checked it against the software with a 16F877A and it worked fine so we can rule out any batch changes. We have also seen on occasion the reset error but ignoring the error and continuing to program the device still worked. If possible can you rule out a USB cable ...

Thanks, we will take one out of stock to confirm that there are no batch issues. Unfortunately we don't have 16F628A to replicate your setup, but before we suggest anything it would be helpful to try simielk's possible solution. We would be very interested to see if it works. If so we can update the...

Hi Tawman,

I can't seem to locate you on our system. Did you purchase this board from us? If so please post or PM me your order number.

I have downloaded the new ethercard-master.zip Library and managed to successfully run the first example in this Forum. Unfortunitly all the examples from the new Library fail to operate as expected I have checked one of the example sketches (backsoon) contained within the library and it seemed to ...

Thanks for the information. I’ve pulled an LCD out of stock with the same batch date and the example sketch works fine. The symptoms you have now are typical of a wrong library version, but I have confirmed that the library version in this forum is fine with the current screens. So long as this is...

Analogue pin 4 does not power the back light, as with the LCD, the backlight is powered from the VCC and GND pins and the state of the backlight (on or off) is controlled in software. Although when first powered up the LCD is in an un-initialised state, and no communication to the LCD, the backlight...

Hi, It is perfectly normal for the display to do this when its uninitialised. I have just checked the library and example sketch, and its compiling fine on my set-up so it's likely there is something odd with your Arduino environment that's causing it not to compile. The place that you have put the ...
