Were the ICD-2s working with another family (18f) of chips? MPLAB updates the firmware in the ICD-2 based on the chip you're using it with. Not at a machine where I can test to get menu picks right now. -----Original Message----- From: Harold Hallikainen Sent: Dec 31, 2003 5:06 PM To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: [PIC:] ICD-2 and 16F628A I am having a problem with the ICD-2 and a 16F628A. I've tried two ICD-2s, and they both exhibit the same effect. The ICD-2s have worked well on other chips. The ICD-2 is connected using USB, Win98SE, MPLAB 6.40. In each case, I get Connecting to MPLAB ICD 2 ...Connected Setting Vdd source to target ICDWarn0020: Invalid target device id (expected=0x89, read=0x83) ...Reading ICD Product ID Running ICD Self Test ...Passed MPLAB ICD 2 Ready There are switches to ground on RB6 and RB7, but both are open. There's a 10k from -MCLR to +5V. This does not exactly duplicate the -MCLR wiring of a PIC demo board. Is it possible this difference on the -MCLR wiring would cause the device id problem? THANKS!!!
