Ok, i'm just getting into microcontrollers and such. I bought some 28 pin 16F886's (thought they were the same as 16F88's but apparently not). I cant seem to program the thing. It gives an error when trying to transfer the program to the pic. Im trying to do this with a minimum number of connections for the moment, then ill add more stuff later. So I currently have Vcc-pin20, gnd-pin19, Pin8-gnd. And the connections with the pickit2 are 1 (Vpp/mclr)-pin1, 3(Vss)-gnd, 4(ICSPDAT/PGD)-pin28, 5(ICSPCLK/PGC)-pin27.
That is everything connected. Vcc is a 5V wall wart, rated at 0.4 A. Could i have fried the pic because i didn't use any resistors? I realize this isn't a common pic, here is the datasheet https://www.electro-tech-online.com/custompdfs/2008/08/41291D.pdf
