IR Board Problem

[DarkJedi613]

I got it to work!

The things I changed (note I don't know if all these are necessary):

Devices Tab:
Choose PIC16F87

Options Tab:
Provided the MPLAB devices directory (you really only need one file - "PIC16F87.dev" and it was asking for a 16F716 algorithm, but also providing PIC16F716 didnt help).

Interface:
Interface type: JDM (2) for serial port
Custom interface definition file: ElCheapo_PCB.ini

And that was it! Note: it gave me LOTS of errors, but the device works now (through test it with a remote) so I'm not sure whats up with that. I just tried it again on my laptop (through a USB to serial adaptor -- I changed the Option "I/O Port Access Driver" to "no direct access at all, only use win API"). This DID NOT work however -- I could not even erase the board. It is possible a true serial port would work however. Good luck!
