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.

I'm trying to program a pic12c509 with IC Prog through a baby programmer, but get the following message when I try to program all. "No oscilator calibration value found do you want to use the value from file OFFFH instead?" Whether I click yes or no it goes through the motions of programming, but gives me a message at the end " verify failed @address ooohi" I believe it's a power issue as I can't see what else is wrong, but I'm wondering what can be done about this. I have read about powering JDM programmers with bateries but I'm not sure how to adapt the programmer to do this. What else can be done about power to the serial port?? |

I suspect it is not a power problem: inside a PIC you must write the type of the external quartz crystal (if you use one) or ht RC oscillator. This type can be set up inside a file or can be choosed from ICPROG interface .... read docs about quartz crystals for PIC provided by Microchip. --- In , "miketurner772003" <miketurner772003@y...> wrote: > I'm trying to program a pic12c509 with IC Prog through a baby > programmer, but get the following message when I try to program all. > > "No oscilator calibration value found do you want to use the value > from file OFFFH instead?" > > Whether I click yes or no it goes through the motions of programming, > but gives me a message at the end " verify failed @address ooohi" > > I believe it's a power issue as I can't see what else is wrong, but > I'm wondering what can be done about this.

Thanks, but this is all well above my head. I have no experience with chips. I bought a baby programmer (the first one here http://www.electronic-devices.net/Programmers/programmers.html )and thought I could just plug it in and program a PIC 12C509 chip, but I can't make sense of the tech speak about crystals. I'll have to concede defeat and ask someone to program and send me a chip. --- In , "ydexter" <ydexter@y...> wrote: > I suspect it is not a power problem: inside a PIC you must write the > type of the external quartz crystal (if you use one) or ht RC > oscillator.
