Hi Melanie,

I thought my version would be well old by now, anyway I am at this point trying to choose the right PIC for the application, then choose a programmer that supports the PIC, dont reallt need one that suports all PIC's.

Upgrading to a new version is a good idea too, one problem is I dont think I have the original order anymore as a friend ordered it for me and mailed the order confirmation which I dont think I have either, one additional complication, he has moved and I am no longer in contact with him. He ordered both the LPT Epic and software at the same time.

I dont think I can get the upgrade like this can I, and am not really prepaired to pay again when I could maybe find an alternative that will just do the one PIC i need it for.

Am really trying to find a suitable PIC to do what is really a simple task, using a PC to simulate it is.

I have taken your advice on the 12F675 and ordered 5 to get started.

I read another follow up on this topic by mister_e and thank you very much, I had this problem for ages and wondered what was happening.

Will be greatful for any further suggestions.

Andy
