Hi, Forgive me for my question as it may seem stupid.
I am a database programmer so I know nothing about this software but I am working on something where I need to program a Pic18F242 Microcontroller.
I purchased the melabs serial programmer with the Zip 28/40 pin adapter.
I am using Pic Basic Pro to write my program that will be programmed into controller.
Anyhow, I have my serial programmer hooked up to the AC Adapter, a serial to USB cable (i dont have serial port on computer) and the ZIP adapter plugged into the serial programmer and my microcontroller plugged into the zif adapter in the pin placement that is required per their documentation (pin 1 next to zif adapter lever).
When I go to get target information or program the controller I get an error that says target device does not match selected device. I have set my selected device in the melabs serial programming software to PIC18F2420. the software says my device id is FFFF and does not match selected device id.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what i am doing wrong? I am lost as to the next step i need to take to proceed.
Thanks a lot guys/gals, beers on me!
