Hello Martin, >is it possible to program a PIC16F628 with a JDM programmer? yes it's possible, but the schematic should be modified >in IC-Prog 1.04, i can select the 16F628 for the JDM programmer, and it >indicates that i have to place it in the socket like a 16F84. >but when i try to program the 16F628, it seems to stay empty. >what's wrong? nothing is wrong with ICProg we are going to release very soon our PIC-PG2B serial port programmer based on JDM design which will program 8,18,28,40 pin PICs and 24Cxx EEPROMS. you can see the schematics at http://www.olimex.com/dev/pic-pg2b-sch.gif and the board layout at http://www.olimex.com/dev/pic-pg2b.gif Best regards Tsvetan --- PCB prototypes for $26 at http://run.to/pcb (http://www.olimex.com/pcb) Development boards for PIC, AVR and MSP430 (http://www.olimex.com/dev) -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
