After building and rebuilding the ICD2 on STOLZ's site several times my
circuit will not function. My VPP is about 13.5vdc, the 16F876A has the
"ICD2_Bootloader_A.hex" programmed into it. The transistors are new
and appear to be connected correctly. The caps seem to be correct
on the MAX232 along with the connections the PIC. FIFO buffers are
set correctly.
What can be done to find the problem?
Is a target PIC required to establish communication with the ICD2 and MPLAB 6.60 for downloading the operating system?
I'm at a lost on what to try next.
Any ideas are more than welcomed
Thanks in advance
