Interfacing Microchip ICD3 With Labview.

[Ranjeet_Singh]

I need to select/browse the hex file from labview and need to dump on PIC IC. Is there any way to acheive this using labview?  What are the different hardware we need for that. I do have a ICD installed in my PC.

What I need is for browsing and dumping the code I should use LV UI.

What is the command line utilities for? How can I use it here?

Hello,

with the command line utilities you can program (erase, verify ....) a processor with a command line string (show manual).

I think it´s quit easy if you use the labview command prompt vi or a batch file.

Hope this help you.

Example using the ICD3CMD.exe with system exec.vi call:

Simply call the ICD3CMD.exe with /? from cmd for full list of programing options.

edit: As for hardware you would need an ICD3 or PICkit3.

Do I need batch file?

Thanks for the reply. I have ICD3. Do I need to set a path? What is the input to the path input?

I am using 

C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE\Programmer Utilities\ICD3\ICD3CMD.exe / PIC16F684 /M/V/F "A.HEX"

Here A.HEX is my hex file. But it says illegal parser?

when I use

cmd/c ICD3CMD/PIC16F684/V/M/F "A.HEX" ----------------then it says 

Device not found

Initialize Failed !!!

But device selection is proper

Not necessary, but you could do it with a batch file aswell.

The path would be the folder where ICD3CMD.exe is located.

Device not found can also refer to the ICD3 itself, i've had some problems with that myself. Try and see if you can program the device using the MPLAB ide first. If that works it should work fine with ICD3CMD aswell.

I tried. its working with IDE but not with command prompt..Can you share your VI in 2011?
