ICSP (2) questions

[mister_e]

Weird... never had any download problem myself

Anyways, when you buy a PICKIT 2, it's on the CD.

I'd post the following suggestion really often here.

Ok it's for MElabs programmer, but the idea is the same.

Microchip solution... the one in the PDF
<img SRC="http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=2542&stc=1&d=120915241 1">

Almost the same... but the last one don't talk about the load on PGM pin, and don't show the cap on Vdd.. which is not important... but mandatory!

Mr_E : you are very kind.
But while I was waiting for your help,
I did some patch tests and ... it works

( I open'd a thread called "LVP for 18f452" ...)

What it says is I melted 2 designs
(1) http://home.vrweb.de/~lotharstolz/st...vpc/index.html
(2) http://www.josepino.com/pic_projects...programmer.jpc
and here you are : a working LVP for 18F452 ! (see attached JPG)

Maybe it is not impressive to you, experimented people,
but it has been and still is a great satisfaction to me,
everytime a ".hex" file is moved to the PIC and the LEDs
(now there are plenty of them : a 7-segment + "dot")
and then does what it is suposed to do.

Microchip people almost got my money, but I prefer this way : forums, patch board, Google.

Thank you all !

Thanks Ramon, I could use the second one of the two identical links you provided. the first one stopped for me at 1.74MB.

It is fine noting that you have succeeded in programing the device, Ramon. hope it serves you in the process of learning PIC.
All the best please.

mr Sarma - if both links were identical, why one stoopped at size X and the other did not ?
Ok - let's be positive and enjoy life in every drop.
Thanks for the support - I did appreciate it; really.

Sometimes it works better when you right click on the link and use "save target as"... sometimes

Agreed. I would say, at the time when i tried the second link, I could succeed. Many times I failed to download on Microchip site.

There was an error in the diagram. This is the good one. Sorry.
