Greetings,
I am pretty new to programming PICs and have been using a Canakit to program them using PICkit 2 and MPLAB. The first few programs worked great in my simple circuits. Then the PIC 16F84a just stopped working in my circuits. I've tested the circuits in every way possible. The PICkit 2 says they are being successfully programmed. I'm having the same problem with the PIC 16F873a. The circuit was responding at first, although incorrectly, but now the chip won't work at all. Again, the PICkit 2 is saying it has been successfully programmed. I've checked the configuration bits and everything seems fine. I've also double checked my circuit and everything is at the proper voltages. I've checked the frequency of the crystal and it's fine. Is it possible that I'm somehow frying the oscillator inputs of the chips?
Anyway, any help at all would be much appreciated
Thank you,
Alan Kroenlein
