pic16f84 lvp
Hi,
I am new to PIC MCUs and have a weird situation on my hands. I'm trying to program the PIC16F876/'A. However here is the problem. Every time i read the device ICProg (1.05D) reports only 0000, attempting to write to the device only reports an error (Verified failed at 0000h). This is the case with 2 programmers (normal ICSP and LVP ICSP(lothar stolz)) with all of the applicable fuses set/cleared. Furthermore the same problem occurs on some other PICs (16F84 and 16F84A). Some other people on the net build the same circuits and it functions.
What can be the problem? I have tested every single wire individually to check for broken wires, alas this is not the problem. I'm thinking that it might be the PC I'm using (AMD64 3000+). Any help / ideas would be very much appreciated,
thanks in advance
