I am trying to program a 16f84 using PIX with a simple programmer that I have built and was designed by John Hansen. The program seems to see something on the serial port because when the programmer is not connected I get an error when I erase the pic. I get an error though when I try to blow the program area, I get the message PIC=1000 3000 wanted, 3000 is the first number in the program I am trying to load. I think the programmer is assembled correctly because it only contains about 9 components and I have double checked the circuit several times. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas on this subject? Thanks, Nuri
