PICKit2 - warning about configuration words

[mackrackit]

The problem is intermittent. I got less failure when running power of the board instead of powering through the pickit2. In other words, it always programmed.

Back when I was using a PIC Start I had to add a couple of capacitors across VDD-VSS or it would not program some of the 18Fs.

Maybe a similar problem???

I added a photo of the meter at my profile album. I designed a pcb to make up the circuit and had Expresspcb make it. The board can be configured into a frequency counter or event counter. Just load a different program for a new function. Its a multipurpose board. You can also bring out the ports through a 16 pin ribbon connector instead of a 4 digit display.

Looks like a useful piece of work! I like the dual function idea.
