Olimex

Hello,

When I try to program the pic-mt boards, I get a self test fail for the pocket icd2. Specifically, the test indicates that the MCLR VPP is High. I thought that I would be able to use these items together out of the box. Of course on this trip, I don’t have all of my troubleshooting tools and items with me.

On the POWER tab, the numbers shown are:

Target Vdd=5.31V, Target Vpp=15.74V, Mplab ICD2 VPP= 11.58V

Seems the Target Vpp is too high.

I’m thinking that this combination has been used before (or at least with respect to the ICSP of these Olimex boards along with Olimex programmers).

Duplicate post!

Sparkfun has arranged for me to try another Pocket ICD2. I’ll try it again. Thanks Sparkun.
