I could use some help on this:

Built the serial programmer and winpic800 is not detecting the device. I'm running windows 7, not sure if that is the problem, the programmer, or the pic. It tells me it reads it, but it is getting an error while writing (verification fails). I have it set to JDM.

For detect device I get device unknown
For hardware test I get hardware is not responding

thanks

It may not be properly installed.

The software may not be properly installed or the programmer incorrectly assembled?
-I've tried it on 2 machines, not sure how to install it differently. DLing Windows 98 to see if that will help (doubtful).
-I've double/triple checked my assembly, everything seems correct except the pin numbering labeled on the outside of my serial port is not the same as the diagram. But from the pictures in the thread, I have it wired to the same pins as everyone else(I didn't even see the labels on the casing till after I was done).

-Can someone confirm that this programmer/winpic800 work on windows 7?

edit: i'm retarded, wasted 5hrs of my life because I used the wrong pin numbering. Works perfect now(on w7) and FLEX code is working in my xbox controller. Thanks for the great resources here

You could just request a free sample of a PIC12F683 I/P from microchip.com lol

hey could someone be kind and find the parts on http://www.maplin.co.uk/ for me im getting abit of a headache finding these parts when the search does not show what you want/

Famas · « **Reply #66 on:** December 15, 2010, 12:00:58 PM »

get it off ebay probs can get it cheaper what you need and ill find it you now

hyper999 · « **Reply #67 on:** December 15, 2010, 12:16:52 PM »

il try but i also hate maplin and they dont have 12f683's
-Zener diode - QF47B
-1N4148 - QL80B
- DIP Socket - BL17T
- 10uf Cap - AT98G
- DB9 Connector - RK61R(socket) or RK60Q(plug)
- resistors - http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?MenuNo=12459

i'm assuming you have wire and stuff already though?

I went to radio shack and got a little bit of the parts, they didn't have all of them, then i noticed this all was in 08.. lol but i assume it should still work? does it matter what the wattage is of the resistors? and if the capacitors are disc capacitors or the other bigger ones?

did you check these numbers?
1 -- 276-565 -- 5.1V ZENER DIODE -- $1.39 -- QTY 3
1 -- 276-1122 -- 1N4148 SWITCHING DIODE -- $1.49 -- QTY 5
2 -- 272-1025 -- 10UF CAP -- $1.19 -- QTY 1
1 -- 271-1325 -- 2.2K OHM RESISTOR -- $0.99 -- QTY 5
1 -- 271-1335 -- 10K OHM RESISTOR -- $0.99 -- QTY 5
1 -- 271-1339 -- 22K OHM RESISTOR -- $0.99 -- QTY 5
1 -- 276-1995 -- 8-PIN SOCKET -- $0.69 -- QTY 2
1 -- 276-148 -- PROJECT BOARD -- $1.99 -- QTY 2

TOTAL: $9.72 PLUS TAX

I use a 1/4 watt resistor as listed , i have use 1/2 watt resistors
as for the capacitors use the cylinder type . if one radio shack doesn't have them you can always buy off ebay or try another radio shack.

i went to another radioshack and i have everything except the capacitors, i cant use the disc ones?

Fareham dave · « **Reply #72 on:** December 23, 2012, 08:04:56 PM »

i made this programmer a month or so ago, its working great for me. you may get away with the disk capacitors but dont hold me to that.

Icyhaze · « **Reply #73 on:** December 23, 2012, 08:49:35 PM »

are you using USB to serial adapter or did you buy a card?

Fareham dave · « **Reply #74 on:** December 23, 2012, 08:55:36 PM »

using a usb adapter caused me all manner of problems, its works great just using a serial cable and connecting it to my comm port on my pc.

Icyhaze · « **Reply #75 on:** December 23, 2012, 08:58:02 PM »

my mobo doesnt have a com port

and the PCI cards are expensive, the mobo has a spot on the inside and it says JCOM but im not sure if that is the same thing.

Fareham dave · « **Reply #76 on:** December 23, 2012, 08:59:33 PM »

is it 9 pin? same fitting as a comm port?

Icyhaze · « **Reply #77 on:** December 23, 2012, 09:02:11 PM »

noo, its not the one on the back, i know what that one is, im talking about on the INSIDE on the mobo itself, not coming out of the back, it looks like a USB hub where you hook in the extra USBs that your case has, but instead of saying USB1 or whatever it says JCOM1

Fareham dave · « **Reply #78 on:** December 23, 2012, 09:06:02 PM »

is it an msi mobo? You need to have a Serial COM bracket with the correct 9-pin assignment connection to use it as a comm port.

Icyhaze · « **Reply #79 on:** December 23, 2012, 09:19:45 PM »

YES it is lol! MSI 785GT-E63 and i was looking at it, its $9.99

Fareham dave · « **Reply #80 on:** December 23, 2012, 09:23:44 PM »

its definately worth buying one. i have found that programmers work best through comm ports as the usb programmers i have tried and read about are nothing but aggro.

oh and if you consider getting a programmer from ebay be very careful as there are a lot of dodgy chinese knock offs that dont work, i have fallen victim to one of these knock off sellers.

Icyhaze · « **Reply #81 on:** December 23, 2012, 09:30:23 PM »

so if i got that card it would work in the JCOM port?

Fareham dave · « **Reply #82 on:** December 23, 2012, 09:36:21 PM »

yes it should do. from what i have been reading online and from what my friend tells me once the card is installed you can just mount it on the pc case and use it as a regular com port, you may be able to get a card with multiple comm ports if needed.

Icyhaze · « **Reply #83 on:** December 23, 2012, 09:37:54 PM »

yeah i can mount it, i built my comp, i just didnt know that port would work as a com port even though it says jcom haha

Fareham dave · « **Reply #84 on:** December 23, 2012, 09:41:22 PM »

thats cool, i built my rig too. i am not sure but i think the j in jcom is for java, not sure why though.

Icyhaze · « **Reply #85 on:** December 23, 2012, 09:44:05 PM »

it is, well atleast thats what someone told me
