:Edit: Never mind i got it.

Ok im ready to program using IC-Prog 1.05c Using the code on the previous page. The Watch dog timer is checked should it be?

i can't see any clear wdt commands in the code so no, disable the watchdog. Otherwise the pic will reset in the middle of the program because the watchdog timer overflows

Im using picall now because the IC Pic does not work on my computer. The pic call pops up a message when i try and burn the chip.

Code:

Program error:

Program adress=000 buffer=2811 device=3fff

when i first load the HEX file i get the message:

Code:

Warning:

Configuration word is not
included with the hex file !!!

For detail look at the PICALLW.HLP section FAQ!!!

What is the configuration code? I looked at the Help file but did not understand it! Thank you all for helping me through all this

I have the same problem. I can program a chip once, and then when I erase it and re-program it gives me the first error message. Any thoughts?

:evil:

The configuration word sets the various configuration options for the processor - oscillator type, WDT, code protection and various others depending on the particular PIC. It's essential to set these correctly, and it's advisable to do so in the source code so it's included in the HEX file. Not doing this results in the warning message you got, which essentially is prompting you to set them in PicAll before programming the chip.

Try reading the chip before re-programming, and make sure it's actually fully erased - if the chip isn't blank it's quite likely it may fail on the first byte, though if the first bytes are identical it shouldn't.
