Ok, I don't know what Im missing here....

I used the circuit after reading through this thread... actualy seems to be no problems with programming. Im using IC-PROG, load a simple hex file made from the pbp samples code to blink an LED on port 1. Im not using any external oscilators.

When I program, no problems. Read back it verifies correctly. Just to be sure I shut the whole thing down, restarted IC-PROG, and reloaded from the pic and there is indeed code in there.

When I pull pic out of the circuit and try to plug into simmple LED blink circuit, nothing happens. Blink circuit is nothing more than 5V+ on VDD, GND on VSS, Cathode of LED to ground, and Anode of LED to Pin 6 (RB0)..

Im using PIC16F818... Am I missing a config fues some where? its been over two years since ive toyed with these things so I cant remember what my set ups were back then

thanks in advance


oh yeah, and I already bought the programmer off e-bay... just waiting for it to show up from Hong kong... mean while this is all ive got and i have to start getting work on this project going.
