Thanks....as follows: > - for ringing include series resistors, maybe 220 ohm or so Will try next.. > - you say some pins are common (rb6,7?), are you sure the other PICs > don't mess with these lines? One 18F452 is completely isolated and it keeps showing all 0's. > - maybe use a programmer that is more suite to ICSP than PS+ (lower > impedance drivers) Perhaps in the future...today this is all I have... > - do you pull the LVP pins down? /MCLR is at 13V when programming, so this isn't LVP'g is it? Should the LPV pin (42 on the 18) still be pulled down? Why? > - what is still on the /MCLR when you have removed the jumper? Originally a direct connect to the appropriate connection on the PS+. I have since added a 10k pull-up thru a diode, which didn't help either.... I am just hoping to not have to de-solder the TQFP to make this work!! > > Wouter van Ooijen > > -- ------------------------------------------- > Van Ooijen Technische Informatica: www.voti.nl > consultancy, development, PICmicro products > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: pic microcontroller discussion list > > [mailto:PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU] On Behalf Of Chris Loiacono > > Sent: Friday, March 07, 2003 10:47 PM > > To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU > > Subject: ICSP anyone? > > > > > > Does anyone have more than a basic grasp of PIC ICSP?
