Programming the PIC
OK, so I have soldered the PIC onto the board, but I have no clue how to program it. Can anyone offer assistance? Is there a part number for the SIP?
get this book http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... 8&v=glance besides a good reading it includes a PCB to make a parallel port pic programmer

Does PGD and PGC translate to Data and Clock, respectively? I have a programmer, and the connection lables are _MCLR, RB6 (Clk), RB7 (Data), Vdd, and Gnd (Vss). It does not say anything about ICSP, but I'm guessing if I just make the connections to these pins, I will get the desired result. Is this correct? Thanks

Hello,
I have an ICSP programmer and I had a few questions.
1. the programmer has GND, VCC, CLK, DAT, VPP, instead of the names listed on the fabrication site, which of these coincide to the names on the ladyada site.
2. which holes on the board are for each connector?
3. Do i have to hook it up to an external power source, or can i use the programmer to supply power?

on the three pin header I have connected MCLR the left pin, PGD to the middle and PGC to the right one. On the bottom left I connected GND to the middle pin on the 3 pin header where the power switch goes and I connected VCC to the (-) end of where the batter goes.
When I do this the MicroPro software and the tinybld do not see the PIC. What could I be doing wrong?

I'm still waiting for my boards so I haven't tried it yet, but these are the notes i've made so far:
Code: Select all
