Re: PIC Micro Card and PCI Parallel Configuration

Is there a parallel driver somewhere that I can download for these v2 LPT Development Boards? I really need to get this working and we don't currently have any kind of budget to upgrade to the USB boards.

Re: PIC Micro Card and PCI Parallel Configuration

Hello Simon If you are using a V2 development board (i.e. the parrallel port version) then you can specify the LPT connection by loading PPP and clicking Options -> Options and selecting the LPT V2 dev board option. Let me know how you get on. Hi Ben, we are using the V2 parallel version of the boa...

Re: PIC Micro Card and PCI Parallel Configuration

Thanks for your reply Ben. I've got a PCI parallel card and I'm using the drivers that come in the box. Should I have a Matrix driver for the parallel card? If I go into device manager and choose to update the driver, I don't have a Matrix driver listed. Is there a download for the parallel version ...

Re: PIC Micro Card and PCI Parallel Configuration

Thanks again for your help Steve. The lecturer has left me with two of the ten boards, one of them is a 16F84 and one is a 16F84A. Unfortunately he has no idea how to set these boards up only how to use the software once it has been set up for him so I'm really learning as I go how to do this. I've ...

Re: PIC Micro Card and PCI Parallel Configuration

Hi Steve These boards are completely new to me, I've never had to deal with them before. I've installed the ASM4 PICmicros software and I think it's set to the correct chip. The number printed on the PIC chip is 168F84 and I have set this in the options for PPP v3 as you can see in the screenshot at...

PIC Micro Card and PCI Parallel Configuration

I'm working on installing some PIC Micro boards for an electronic engineering class that we are running. We have v2 Development Boards that interface using parallel PCI cards that we have purchased for this purpose. I have set up the card in Device Manager to use the 03BC - 03BE I/O range and set it...
