Hello all. Cant seem to burn my program to the 16F690 chip. Compiles to C and Hex all OK.

I have attached a screen grab of the error message and also of my chip settings. Hopefully somebody will spot my mistake.

Thanks a lot folks...........John

Hi John,
The usual cause of the error messag eyou can see are poor connections between Programmer and microcontroller.
Or there is a cap between programming connections and ground.
Have you got a circuit diagram?

You can check voltage are correct at each programming pin, by using the Pickit2 standalone programming software and going to Tools, Troubleshoot....

Ok I'll see if I can do that and do another post........Thanks John

Hi Martin, it looks like something has gone wrong with my PICkit2 programmer. I think its software so I'll reinstall it tomorrow and let you guys know what happens..

Thanks for your time..John
