Hi guys,
I'm new to microcontroller programming and i just need a bit of help getting started.
I have a Velleman VM111 (K8048) programmer and I'm trying to program a pic16f688 using winpic. The progpic2 software that comes with the velleman programmer doesn't support the 16f688 so i have no choice but to use winpic.
The problem is that i keep getting verify errors when ever i try to load the hex file into the programmer. The file compiles fine (the code is just the 16f688 code template found in MPASM\Template\Code with a nop loop in the main section - see attachment), but i just cant get winpic to load it into the chip.
I know there is nothing wrong with the velleman programmer because i programmed the 16f627 chips on it successfully, except i used the progpic2 software that comes with it. So I'm guessing the problem lies within winpic? I get similar errors even if i try to program the 16f627 chip (even though the same files load fine using picprog2).
The following are screen shots of winpic settings and the errors i get (I have tried to keep the rest of the settings default):
Device, Config
**broken link removed**
Options
**broken link removed**
Interface
**broken link removed**
Error output (after i hit the program button)
**broken link removed**
AFAIK, Progpic2 does not support any pics with ADC (like the 16F688) so i really need to get Winpic to work (and I've tried almost everything).
Any ideas? Any response would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
p.s I attached the code as well just in case, but like i said, its just the code template for the chip with a loop that does nothing inside the main section.
