What is wrong & where - 16F877A+U2 USB programmer

[Darrel Taylor]

With so little information, there's no way to know.

Have you verified the items on the ICSP page?

In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP)
http://melabs.com/support/icsp.htm

Have you set your configs?

Have you disabled the Analog inputs?

Megahertz,

I have a U2 USB programmer and it works great. Can you post your code? Can you post the programmer PIC settings? Are you doing ICSP?

I ussually get the "Device does not match......" message when the PIC is not receiving any power.

I have to try many times by disconnecting/reconnecting the USB cable so that my board come to Green LED (Ready). 95% of times there is an error message. I am unable to do anything smoothly using this board, I do not know if I am doing somethign wrong or the board is faulty.

I am now trying to upload this code and errors is "Target Device does not match the selected device", even though 16F877A is selected on Programmer window.
Also with the ones I programmed before - My LED does not GLOW for 2 seconds when the code starts. PIC seems to keep resetting itself - The reason is that the LED starts flickering.

I am not programming the PIC while it is in its circuit. I am using the 40PIN connector with the USB programmer.

But First thing first, please help me solve the programming board problem, so I can firstly start programming smoothly. I have attached the programmer settings screenshot. Please let me if any more information is needed. Thanks a lot.

Which one of the 40-pin adapters do you have?

-

If it's the one on the left, is it connected properly for a 40-pin device.

[Megahertz]

Yes it is the one on the left. Thanks

Megahertz,

Are you setting the chip in the right position like Darrel is showing you in the picture above? Pin 1 has to be in the right position. Also, try using different USB ports in your computer and even a different computer.

Apologies for the delayed reply. Yes I am setting the chip the right way. I also tried on different computer but red led flashes on the board. I have to reconnect the USB cable around 4-5- times before it turns green and then programs the chip. Then most of the times the same story again for the next chip I want to program.
