Re: Programming with connected I/O

Hi Ben, Thank you for the response. Appologies for getting my Vdd/Vss crossed. What ever happened to Vcc and Gnd? But I still have the situation; Pin 1 = clean 5Vdc Pin 8 has spikes of varying magnitude but up to 1.6V at what appears to be 20 mS apart which seems to point to the 50Hz supply. The 14V...

Re: Programming with connected I/O

Hi, I am still having difficulties. Pin 8 (Vdd) wrt power supply gnd shows random spikes upto 1.6 V o-p (I have a Picoscope Image but unable to attach picture) Vss is a clean 5V dc. Not sure what is going on but I dont think it would be overly healthy. Where does Vdd originate? Obviously it is not t...

Programming with connected I/O

Hi This is a general question – Is it recommended to remove the connected I/O devices before programming/reprogramming a PIC using the HP488v3? I seem to have damaged two 12F675 by what appears to be reprogramming with I/O connected -making simple timing changes. I ran a small test flashing LED prog...

Re: USB cable not connected

Hi Ben, thanks for the suggestion but this was done previously and checked again but no success came of that. However, the last thing I tried was to overwrite all files in the C4PICs3 directly with a copy from my old machine. This was a success with the exception of the PIC launcher all is working f...

V3 Oscillator cap values

Hi,
I am having difficulty reading the compnent values on the HP488-00-3 Data sheet.

In particular the oscillator capacitor values. Actually, all component values.

Is a more readable circuit diagram available or may be a parts list?
