Hey, I messed up pretty bad yesterday. I accidentally plugged my 15v power supply into the breadboard I was working on. It probably ruined the PIC attached and also damaged my inchworm which was attached to the circuit.
There is no visible damage to the Inchworm. The computer is unable to establish communication with the inchworm and all the reference voltages read "0.00" in the device settings in MPLAB.
I was hoping Bill or someone else could make a suggestion as to what parts of the circuit might be damaged. I've been looking at the PCB and . But I don't know enough to guess what might be wrong.
I know I messed up, but I really can't afford another programmer right now.![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Any ideas?
