Hello,

I've got a Wisp628 programmer that I seem to be having trouble with.  I am
just trying to get a simple blink the LED type program going to test my
programmer/circuit (first time with PICs), and I can't seem to get the
programmer to program the fuses.  I am unable to change the fuse setting to
allow the use of a crystal oscillator, so I set it up with an RC oscilator
(5k pot with a 20 pf cap), and it seems to at least run the program as long
as it's compiled for a 4 mhz clock.  I guess I forgot to say that it is able
to upload/download/verify the program itself just fine, but it can't program
2007 (fuses) no matter what I do.  I've used both Bumblebee and Xwisp, and
both give the same problem.  By the way, I am trying to program a setting of
3FFE (only turn on the HS osc and leave the rest as default), but it stays
programmed with 3FFF (default, as I understand it).  One mre really odd
thing that I've noticed, it only runs a JAL language program when the
programmer is still connected to the circuit (after you give the RUN
command), but a program compiled from PICAnt is able to run no matter what.
This puzzles me greatly, since I can pull all the wires except either the +5
or GND and it will still run (the JAL program), so I don't see how it could
be getting an OSC signal or something similar.  Perhaps this points out a
defect in my circuit that I am not aware of, but it does seem to work fine
as far as programming code goes.  Hopefully I haven't gone on too long, I
just wanted to make the problem clear.  Thanks a lot for any advice.
