Hi everyone, I am new to PIC. I have the Parallel programmer assembled (from P. = Andesren at http://www.phanderson.com/PIC/picstart.html ) and got = Bojan's P16prol for 16F84. However, I did not get the programmer to = work. I am sure that the circuit is wired correctly, and the s/w settings are = ok. What I noticed is the that D3 (pin 5) on the parallel port is always = low, which makes the 13.4V voltage appear all the time on /MCLR, hence = preventing correct setup. I am runing Windows98. I tried running from DOS, but also got he same = problem. Any suggestion, help is appreciated. REgards, Alaa -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
