Hi, this is my first post, so be gentle ;).

I just made myself a JDM programmer, but when I measure everything like =
they say=20
on this page (http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_jdm.html) I get some very funky =
readings:

MCLR: 8.6V (Off: -5.8V/-0.5V) (Should be: 14V)
Vcc: 4.0V (Off: 0.42V) (Should be: 5V)
Clock: 11.8V -> -7.7V (keeps lowering) (Off: -0.3V) (Should be: 5V +- =
1V)
Data Out: 3.6V/0.1V/... (Off: -2.9V) (Should be: 5V +- 0.5V)

Off means when I have the box unchecked in IC-Prog Hardware Test.
As you can see everything is way off, sometimes I even get different =
results=20
when I turn a signal on/off a few times. This makes absolutely no sense =
to me.

My PCB layout can be found here: =

I just checked everything and I can't find any errors.
My Eagle files can be found here: =

My motherboard is an Abit IT7, so it doesn't have COM ports. I'm using a
parallel + dual serial PCI card from VSCom =
(http://vscom.de/produkte/vscom_210h_pci.html).

I configured IC-Prog as shown on the UCapps site (first link). I'm using =

WinXP (no service packs).

Does anybody know why I get these readings?

Thanks, Anthony Van Herrewege
