I have a PIC16F876A and I am trying to program it for the first time.
This is also my first experience with the PIC micro controller.
I built up the GPICD programmer and have been trying to use it and its
accompanying software to do this.
I'm running Slackware 10.
I have 12.7vdc going to the MCLR pin and can read the clock and data
pulses going to RB6 and RB7 with my scope.
I can read the configuration data word from the PIC, but can not write a
new one to it.
I cannot write the firmware to the Flash at all.
OMG please help!
I don't know what else to try or even for sure if I'm doing this the
right way and I don't have anyone close to me to ask.
Seriously, if anyone has a better suggestion that doesn't cost me too
much money, I'll take it.
I would rather use the high voltage programming, since from what I have
read so far, that seems to be the preferred method.
I would most like to fix the problem with what I already have, so that I
can pass this all along to the OAP project and of course, get back to
building my robot. :-)
Cheers,
Eljin
