Hi, thanks for your help, i managed to sort it out, instead of using a 9v battery to power the picdem plus2, i used the mains power cable, and now everything works, the battery must be low i guess,
also the icd2 poster says that it can be used with a target board, by connecting the icd2 to the usb port, and also connecting a mains power cable to the icd2, which can provide power to the target board,
ive tried this with my picdem and making sure that in the icd2 settings ive clicked the tab that says use icd to power target board, but the picdems power led doesn't come on,
any ideas?
This is how i tried it
