icd2 clone smd
I made a SMD version of the ICD2 Clone (PiCS Rev. C from http://www.icd2clone.com/wiki/Main_Page) using TQFP packages.
The device enumerates and drivers install successfully. MPLAB detects the programmer and the yellow LED (BUSY) switch on but then it looses communications.
I double checked the schematic and layout and all seems fine. The pin numbers for the TQFP and DIP packages differ, so I assigned the functions by the pin name (ex. RA0). I don't know if the functionality of certain pins moved with the package change.
Why would MPLAB loose communications with the programmer. If needed I will provide the schematic an layout.
Well I solved this problem. Had to download ICD2 firmware.
I have 2 more problems:
1.) Why does the error LED not work?
2.) I successfully program the device but can't enter debug mode where with a normal ICD2 I can?
Any solutions?
