Does it works in this configuration?

Yes, with NIM_A and PIC_A. PIC_A controls both LNB PSU boards, so you can still have two of those.

Thanks Brian
My board is nearly finished.
But the PIC is quite difficult to get with an acceptable price, at this time

Hi
I configured this with a single PIC_A, but the programmer is setting the I2C address as a PIC_B, as below - 0x6d rather than 0x6c. I played with the programmer to force an erase and tried a new PIC, but it won't seem to set this to 0x6c. Any ideas? Obviously winterhill reports "can find PIC_A"

How should the PICs end up with different I2C addresses given they both seem to be programmed with the same .hex file?
