Hi guys,
New to this forum and also quite new to electronics.
I've built the Ozipic programmer and it worked for about 1 hour. I used Nigel's WinPicProg software. It detected the port OK.
After about an hour it stopped working and it didn't detect the port again. It just displays Port : None.
I've emailed Nigel (as you might remember) and I've since tried everything. I've even built a brand new programmer, but is still doesn't detect the port.
With the programmer plugged in and powered up I can make the VPP40, VPP and VDD LED's light up from the Hardware panel in the software, which means to me that the parallel port is talking to the programmer.
This is however the only thing that happens and I'm unable to program any PICs.
I've also tried Winpic800, Winpic and ICprog, but no joy.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
