Its fairly easy to test all the signals on the Pickit2.
Just load your Pickit2 software, go to Tools-Troubleshoot and follow all the steps, using your multimeter at all stages to confirm what you're supposed to be getting. If all tests pass, your Pickit2 itself should be okay.

Let us see how you connect the PICKIT2 to your 16F627A with the rest of your circuit. Maybe you made some wrong connections.
Give us a drawing or some good photo's

This is how it was before I hooked up the LED

That should be no problem.
If you did it like that and nothing else connected to the chip, it must programm it.
There is ofcource still another possibility!
The porgramm you wrote, sucks!
The rest of your connection and or powersupply is not good.
Sorry for this language but at this moment nothing else came to my memory.

It was a simple blink circuit and my power supply is a fixed bench top power supply
I believe I just have a bad programmer because the programmer would say it reads a device and then say it didn't
I say I should just move on to an Arduino

That's a choice, but it doesn't have to be an this <b>or </b> that choice. The PICKit2 will supply the chip and some simple circuits without an external power supply, it is a bit fussy about short circuits though. If you short it out you will have to unplug it and restart the software. Since you have the PICKit2 already, why not order the low parts count demo board and eliminate all the fussing with wires and breadboards to prove out code snippets, which you can translate over to other chips later, the 16F690 is a pretty powerful chip and the demo board couldn't be easier even if it had an Italian name. And trust me, PBP beats the heck out of all that screwy syntax the " C " languages use!Originally Posted by Techbuilder

If you do not believe in MAGIC, Consider how currency has value simply by printing it, and is then traded for real assets.

Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants - but debt is the money of slaves

What if my PICkit 2 is just the burnt cookie of the batch
which would mean I would have to purchase the development board and a new pic kit
honestly I love basic but I have not been able to find a way to properly compile and program to a chip
This has been my second programmer
1st one I bought was on ebay
it was a Chinese made board
