Back to the beginning

Finally I'm getting somewhere.

My apologies but I eventually found the .hex files that PBP3 has been generating.

I'm starting with the real basics - trying to turn on an LED.

I can't get any of the demo projects to work at all !! I did read and save the hex from the demo board and can reload that successfully.

And where did you find it?
Again, saying that it doesn't work doesn't allow us to help you. Can you compile them? Did you select the correct target device and which one is that?

I'm perfectly capable of writing PIC basic but I just cannot understand the process of getting it into the PIC.

There are a lot of jumpers/switches on the EasyPIC7 board that needs setting correct for whatever to work.
A simple blink-a-led is by far the best method to verify that the PIC is actually running. If you feel, despite the above, that there MIGHT be something wrong with your code then post it - all of it.
