So I programmed a pic with nigels 1.2 tutorial code powered the pic in the zif socket of the programmer board I connect to my pickit 2 and plugged the led and resistor straight into a header next to the pic.
now apart from the led flashing very faintly (whereas the same resistor value and led work fine as a power on indicator) it only flashes versus staying on when I hold the board in my hand or touch the end of the diodes limiting resistor thats connected to the pic.
why is this ?
