Have you been to microchip and magenta's web-site and had a look on
there? There's not much to the kit so you probably need to understand
mplab the best. However, if it is not working as it should and you built
the kit then go back and have a good look and make sure you built it
right. Are all the solder joints good? Are all the polarised capacitors
in the right way round? Are all the ICs the right way round?

Hi newbie here, I am doing GCSE technology and have been given and
icebreaker kit to constuct which I have done but am having problems
programming the chip, i have installed both mplab and the icebreaker
software but to be honest i just don't know what to do next, there are
very little instructions with it.
can anyone point me in the right direction?
thanks
