Need help with programmer!

[EasyE]

Ive tried everything i cant get my programmer to write the codes on my chips.  some work but some dont.  I have a JDM programmer a cheap one do you think my settings are wrong or my programmers broke.  It will detect device and say i have the chip in but when it program it says 100% then when i install it only changes to 1 mode help please?

First of all,you've got to explain your problem in plain English so we can understand what's actually happening.....

[EasyE]

Well i have a jdm programmer and i use winpic 800. I used some of the hex codes on this site and they work but a couple days ago i found a new hex on here and wanted to try it out.  when i went to program it said program all completed 100% but when i installed it the thing wouldnt work, even when i read the code off the chip it came up blank.  I just wanted to know if anyone thought it might be the pic programmer, the settings in winpic, or anything else. hopefully this explained my situation more.  thanks

[ryan0]

I'd bet on it being either the pic istelf or the programmer

The Chip i am using is a 12F683 I/P is this the right chip? It has always worked for me before

[ryan0]

I meant you might have a defective or damaged chip,try it with another PIC,preferrably one of a different kind such as the 12f629,or whatever you have laying around..

if its a cheap programmer it might be that..... or it could be that it doesnt like winpic....

my first programmer was a cheap one and it kept having issues with win pic.... so in stead of that i used and software that came with the programmer and it worked fine after.

please show us what hex you are using. You state it worked before, now when you program it states 100% but only has one mode......to me it sounds like you are using Robbo3's one mode jitter hex, and you have copy write on, which would make the chip reap blank.

sounds like user error to me

I have used robbos jitter hex before, how do i chang copy write off in winpic? if you have to pm of post here.  thanks alot everyone

I use micropro with my jdm programmer and it works perfect.  Give micropro a shot and see if this fixes your problem.  If it does not, then your programmer is garbage.

[EasyE]

For some reason its just the hex codes that are posted on the site.  I can get hazers BMU3 and GF to work but any other hex file that i download wont work.  Its gotta be something in the settings with my winpic or micropro.  I got a new programmer and pic but still not working. help if you got any ideas? Thanks

[crazy-modder]

Are the hexs not downloading?  Or they dont work when you try to program them?

[Modded Matt]

its cause I put a hex on you lol....

no really give me a link to the files you are downloading. let me take and look at them and we will go from there. do they end with .hex or .txt

[crazy-modder]

O ya, if you download it and it comes up as .txt , then you can rename it to .hex

[EasyE]

The files are saved as .hex and download all the way.  When i go to program the chip it will tell me it has programed but when i install it comes up blank and when i read the chip with my programmer it comes up blank.  When i use Hazers BMU3 it works fine with no problem.  I tryed robbos jitter and they worked before but now when i tred to put them back on the chip it wont work.  I like Crazy Modders 6 mode alot but now i tryed that and cant get it to work either.  Its probley something simple im just being a Dumb .
Thanks again

most of the free codes on this site are protected. in the program menu, after you try to read the chip, and it comes up blank, there should be a tab or icon which reads "all protect" or something of that nature. that is because they dont want you trying to alter the hex, or steel their hardwork. If your programmer stats that the programing was successful, then install the chip acording to its wiring diagram (all are different) and go with it. if it dotn work, it could be two other things, 1. the code is no good, or 2. your wiring is no good.

provide me a like to exactly what code and install diagram you are having problems with so I can verify functionality, second request. help me help you. I have other people I could be helping. last time I will ask

There is robbos jitter rapid fire code.  Thats the one i have been trying to install.  The wiring setup i have used is the same as hazers BMU3 just with the Y solder point of course.  I have a pic socket and just switch the chips in and out of my controller.  This hex has worked with my wiring before but wont work now.  I went through and resolder today but still not working.  Hope this helps you understand my situation more.
