Some time back I bought a used Wisp628 from a guy. He said that it worked fine, but that he had upgraded to an ICD2 and didn't need it any more. I have no reason to think this is not true, and feel confident that the hardware is OK. But I am having a problem getting it going, and hope that perhaps someone will spot what I am doing wrong and give a little advice. I have a HEX file called TUT2_1 (it is from the WinPicProg tutorial) and have a 16F628 in a little circuit board that I built up from the tutorial. A put in a 6-pin header for the Wisp628 to plug into, with the wiring as shown at the voti.nl site. I've double-checked the wiring to make sure it is correct. Following the documentation at voti.nl, I hook everything up, apply power to the circuit board (5 volts is there -- I've checked with a multi-meter), and try to program the PIC. But there are errors. Here is the result of running the command "xwisp.py COM1 target=16f628 verbose go tut2_1" ************ C:\Program Files\XWisp\xwisp.py COM1 target=16f628 verbose go tut2_1 XWisp 1.08, command line mode Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\XWisp\xwisp.py", line 3563, in ?

Any advice, suggestions, comments will be appreciated.
