    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

    What!?! No resistors? That is like coming to class with out a pencil.

    Vista is ok.

    Do you mean the EEPROM that is built into the PIC. Use the same connection as you have when programmng

    Did you get a demo board with the PicKit? The one with LEDs and buttons and ...
    If you did you can start playing now. The 628 can happen later.

    No,not the EEPROM that is built into the PIC,a normal EEPROM,24LC512,and I havent find any datasheets to look at how you have to connect the EEPROM to the PICKIT2 board

    Lets worry about the eeprom a bit later.

    I want you to read this

    We will be setting the fuses in your code, in the long run this seems to be the best way. Later when you go back to a program you will not have to remember how you had them set.

    Now I am going to assume you have the low pin count board with the 16F690 on it?
