Hello,
thanks...

I keep getting an error when trying to load a simple program
into a pic 16F877 using the epic programmer with the power
supply that came with it...

the programmer acts like it is erasing and reading, but this may not be
so...

I'm using the epic programmer with the 40/28 pin zif extenter, is there
something
else that needs to be set/configured??

this is what I was doing:

' CODE programming error at 0000

' oscillator
' XT
' code protection
' off
' brown-out
' unabled
' Enable
' watchdog timer
' power-up timer
' brown-out reset
'


' Example program from manual to blink an LED about once a second

loop:   High    PORTD.2         ' Turn on LED
        Pause   500             ' Delay for .5 seconds

        Low     PORTD.2         ' Turn off LED
        Pause   500             ' Delay for .5 seconds

        Goto    loop            ' Go back to loop and blink LED forever
        End
