A discussion group for the PICMicro microcontroller. Also called the Microchip PIC, this list is dedicated to the use and abuse of this fine, simple, microcontroller. Close to topic posts are welcome, ie. general electronics.

Hi all, I've a JDM programmer and 16f628 pic, I'm trying to program using the ICProg, on Windows 98, and it keep on not working! I saw some notes about pulling the RB4 to GND, but the programmer even fails to program a common 16f84A pic! I was using some very simple version of the propic before to program those 16f84A, but I want to make a use of the jdm piece I've got! Are there some settings on the ICProg to make the stuff work! Is there any another reliable ICSP nearby, I'm in egypt, and finding a lot of difficulties getting the WSP628 and the other recommended stuff on the group! Anybody helps plz :) and with my best wishes all :) By the way, how to use the 16F628 internal osc, it's so obvious I'm new with the 16f628 experience :) |

Hi look I using the JDM whit ICprog at 16f84a and 16f628 and working very good on win98, win2000 and Xp and the number of the pins is the left to righ is 4-5-14-13-12 to the 16f84a and 16f628 _________________________________________________________ |

I just started with ICPROG and a homebuilt JDM-like programmer this week. I found using the ICPROG "Settings/Hardware Check" feature with a voltmeter very helpful for trouble shooting. First test the voltage signals on your cable alone by toggling the MCLR/Data/Clock bits. Chances are you'll find your not even using the right COM port. They should go from about -10V to +10V. Then plug the cable in and check the voltages at the PIC pins to see if they're appropriate for programming that PIC. --- In , "Mohammed Abdellatif" <moh835@y...> wrote: > Hi all, > I've a JDM programmer and 16f628 pic, I'm trying to program using > the ICProg, on Windows 98, and it keep on not working!

I tried to program a 16F84A with windows 2000 and ICProg. First try was a failure. After days I found out that my COM cable was to long , so when i tried a short one everything was ok. --- In , "Mohammed Abdellatif" <moh835@y...> wrote: > Hi all, > I've a JDM programmer and 16f628 pic, I'm trying to program using > the ICProg, on Windows 98, and it keep on not working!

I'm not at my own PC so am not certain of this, but I think I had to increase the IC-Prog timing delay to get my version of the JDM programmer working. Leon |

Check the hardware-settings for ICProg, it took me a full day to discover that the powerline had to be inverted. succes, Kees Stenekes --- leon_heller <> wrote: > --- In , "Mohammed > Abdellatif" <moh835@y...> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I've a JDM programmer and 16f628 pic, I'm trying > to program using > > the ICProg, on Windows 98, and it keep on not > working!
