Hi,
Im new to PIC programming & have purchased a BASIC programmer from:
**broken link removed**
To program 12C508 PIC's, I have downloaded the software from the website (ICPROG) & installed the Windows XP driver. I have connected the programmer to the correct COM port & given it the following settings:
• Programmer: "JDM Programmer."
• I/O Delay: 4.
• Communication: none selected.
• Interface: Direct I/O.
The PIC was inserted in the correct orientation, in the correct part of the IC socket, but when I do this LED turns itself off? Is this faulty? When I put a blank chip in the programmer & read it there was no calibration value at the end, every location contained 0FFF. I selected PIC12C508 from the pull down menu & loaded my .HEX code. When I try to burn the code this comes up:
- No 'Oscillator Calibration Value' do you want to use the value from file 0FFF instead?
Followed by:
- Verify failed at code address 0000h !
I have tried the process on more than one PIC.
The HEX code came from this site:
http://www.rentron.com/Infrared_Communication.htm I have read the icprog help file, read through the msg board on the website & tried the programmer on 2 different computers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am new to the subject.
