Reading over the specs, it targets the chips I am using (how lucky am I f= or that?), so the question begs to be asked...if my target assembly has the 16F874, can I not build my own ICD? I thought someone had done this, sin= ce it simply interfaces to MPLAB. Of course its probably not that simple is it? It never is... But I have to go back...why isnt this working? I did a call to a display= routine in page 2, set the bits...didnt do ANY calls or goto's in the cal= led routine yet it won't work. Come on...this should be simple right? Of cou= rse once I get the ICD it will be obvious no doubt. ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=3D= 1 -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
