New user of version 1 picaxe logicator

[Heathfield Enquirer]

We are in transition between the old non axe version and the new. Consequently we have some 16F627 non picaxe ICs around is it possible to use these with the new software? I seem to remember that the economatics blurb suggested you could yet have yet to find it on the menus. Maybe the newer version did not include this feature when rewritten?

 

[Technical]

Plesae see the instructions within the 'What's new' section of the Help menu to make the 'v1 programmer' PIC types visible. They are hidden by default to avoid confusion, as very few people use this option now that PICAXE programming is available.

where?

Where exactly is that indication, please?

 

[Technical]

Please see the 3.0.0 release notes (via the Help>Whats new menu).

You need to restart the software after changing the ini file. This also only applies to registered site licence holder version, not shareware (single user) versions.

single use??

This also only applies to registered site licence holder version, not shareware versions.
What's about the single use licence?

What's about the single use licence?

If the menu bar shows "**unregistered version**" to the right of "Help" then ability to select PICmicro devices is disabled.

"Shareware version" in terms of this product's usage means having a version which can be downloaded free of charge and used without requiring the product to be registered.

If the software is registered, the .INI file edited so "DISPLAY_PICS=1", then PICmicro devices may be selected from "Options->Select PIC Type", otherwise not.
