Heya Everyone
Well I am a newbie in this embedded world , so please bear with my naive questions!
Allright so one of my colleague at university gave me a development board ( with a programmed PIC) to connect to my analog circuit. The board comes with a LCD and shows the result. When I tried to used the programmed PIC with my circuit, the output is not what i predicted so I thought I will program the chip myself.
Just today I bought a PICkit 3 In-Circuit Debugger and downloaded MPLAB v8.80 on my laptop. So far so good. As i moved on to connect the debugger to my development board i got stuck
The pins on the debugger says:
1) MCLR
2) Vdd
3) Vss
4)Data Channel
5) Clock
6) PGM
AND the pins on the board says ( please note that there are only 5 male pins on the board):
1) Vcc (same as Vdd)
2) MCLR
3)GND ( same as Vss)
4) Data Channel
5) Clock
Please note that the first 2 pins ( 1 and 2) on debugger do not match with the programmed pic slot. Also there is 1 less male pin on the board. So what am i suppose to do now? I am completely lost! To my horror , the only thing i know about the PIC is that it has 40 pins ( I counted). Every label on the board has a sticker which prevent me from looking at the product number and such. 8-O:x:roll:
Can someone please help me on what can i do to connect pickit 3 debugger to my board !
Thanks :razz:
