Even a new PICFlash 7.0!
I've seen this also :D

To mikroE, do we have to upgrade any firmware to use the ICD? I coudn't get mine working. It just says "Time out"

Otherwise, very good work. Thank you :wink:

You will need a new firmware for the mikroICD. We are seeking the solution for easyPIC3. This is the reason why the version is still beta. You have a lot of things to play with anyway. Have you tried serial ethernet?

Right now (based on what I understand from the dsPIC version) you have serial and parallel KS010x, and parallel T6963c. Is a serial T6963c library variant in the works?
If you know what you're doing, you're not learning anything.

We are now supporting serial to parallel chip made by microchip (don't have the name of the chip now). There will be an extra board with this chip, which will make you connect T6963c in serial mode. And everything else that requires many pins, CF card for example.

Great! Will there be a library for that for the dsPIC any time soon (I know I'm greedy)?

It is released today. Seek under Examples for "Port expander".
