    Hi,I got yhe PICKIT2 package,where I start from?I buy 2 PIC16F628 but when I read them says ALL PROTECT ,I erase them and when I verify says Program Memory is not blank starting at address 0x0000.Am I doing something wrong?

    In the PicKit2 software under "tools" there is a enable code protect option. Un-check that. Or if you have code protect in the configs turn it off there.

    With the code protect off, an erase and blank check should return "Device is Blank".

    Well,I did exactly as you say but still same results.What else should I do?Strange,because I have this problem with PIC16F628 only,the PIC16F690 witch come with the PICKIT2 read it as a blank device.Same thing with the EEPROM too.I read it ,erase it and at blank check says EEPROM is not blank starting at address 0x000000

    A couple of questions to make sure we are both looking at the same things.

    What are you going to be using for the OSC?
    Is the chip a 628 or 628A?
    You have Micro Code Studio installed?
    Some LEDs and 220 or 470 or something in that range resitors?

    Well,at this point we have to wait a few days,just ordered a breadboard witch has to come,some LEDs I have,Micro I have,rezistors I dont have yet.The chip is 628.Another "dumb" question--at witch pins you put the EEPROM into the PICKIT2 programer to read data from it?Another thing,I am using Vista and linux,but I installed the PICKIT2 package in Vista--will it work?Thanks
