Ok i know i have read many times that the reason for Verify Error X0000 is because it is not giving enough power to the MCLR pin. I just wanted to verify something myself before i go spend $10.00 on 2 9 volts batteries. I just want to make sure. When i turn VPP on and i test the MCLR pin, to see how many volts is there i get negative 8.0 volts. My power supply is 18Volts AC. I would think this is more than enough. I test the MCLR using the ground from the AC power supply and i get -8.0 volts.
Do i need to click on any of the fuses on the winpicprog? I assume everything is default for the 628 as said in Nigel's tutorial. If i must spend 10 dollars on 2 batteries i will. Do you think i should or am i doing something wrong? The -8.0 volts is kinda perlexing me.
