Had this been the problem, I'd have concluded the programmer is definitely dead. But whenever I try to program a chip, it shows a " Received data error.
In those machines, after installing microbrn application I thought I was done! but here comes another weird problem. Using that I was able to run windows XP(32bit) and windows 7 (32 bit). The seller claimed it works on windows 10, but!!!!! You know it! After another googling storm ( went for three days literally) I discovered virtual machine software. As I were to program say a maximum of 5-6 PIC's ever ( if I ever needed), I went for the cheapest programmer ( the 48$+10$ shipping tag of PICkit3 was not quite a deal of the decade to me given I were to use it occasionally )( paid 9 bucks for that off of a local seller) and a pair of 628A and 877A( EVER I NEED THEM! ). googling brought me some exciting DIY PIC 16F628A frequency counters( also LCX meters ) with up to 50MHz measurement. So, my old digital fella decided to leave me totally blind of where I am listening to in the vast electromagnetic spectrum. For passive frequency measurements( just to see that it's in the ballpark) I've so far used an old no name digitally tuned HF receiver (with only 1KHz frequency resolution ) and for almost every other very essential measurements( namely voltage and current) I've gone away with a one hung low DMM. As I make receivers most often, very precise measurement for frequency hasn't been that essential for me( Luck maybe!). So apart from very rudimentary stuffs, I know almost nothing about coding or micros. DISCLAIMER: My main hobby is RF related ( Mostly HAM radio but without modern gears and I prefer to homebrew as much as possible).
