Hello people
I am a n00b to the PICs so far - just got it few days ago off ebay. Soldered onto the board, checked my wiring - no shorts - voltage at the pins is correct. Using this diagram...
**broken link removed**
Using 5 volt DC to drive it off spare computer power supply...
**broken link removed**
I just need to find out if this whole contraption is working.
I've been using IC-Prog 1.05E and trying multiple hex files tried to probe the pins with the yellow wire (hence it sits a pin 1 without being attached firmly). Tried many things without success.
I can program & read data back from the chip using IC-Prog without issues but on it's own in the proto-board - the chip just sits there and doesn't do anything. I turned off the watchdog option and used the XT oscillator in the IC-Prog but still no results.
Could someone suggest a reliable 16f84a(p) HEX program file that would cause all the I/O ports to go high so that I could verify whether this is working with the tiny led. Also - what pic programmer would you guys recommend for use with JDM api.
I just want the simplest reliable way to get this working first.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks guys!
