hello everybody,
this my first post on this very very nice forum lots and lots of information, anyway let me tell what is going on with me
i bough a pic the 628A beeen trying to program it and i shifted to and from couple of programmers (yes i read all the old post and the sticky) but none did work voltage,connections,programs are all correct.
one design i liked was this
**broken link removed**
i programmed the chip only once and then it wont detect my hardware nor the chip(lvp on, cp off), can it be fried ? are pics frieable that easy ? also fried a 84A before dont know why they die so quick (all attempts are done in a breadbord)
anyway now am thinking of building this programmer
**broken link removed** its a tait flavor i got all the parts ready to go although i dont want to build it in a breadboard i will do it in a pcb and strat off with a fresh pic
so my question is, is this good or not ? anybody has experience with it, note that i want to program 18 and 40 pin pics only non of those fancy pics just middies, can someone suggest a programmer to do just that and does it good icsp is cool but not very important now. ive read alot of tutorials and a few chapters of some books on the concept||basics of MC and want to do the practical stuff but no programmers !!!!
and icant buy them because i dont know anyplace that sells it here (KL).
thanks alot for reading and hopfully replying if you got any advice
