hello forum i wonder if someone can help us out with this small issue
i got this week a TL866 CS programmer from ebay and its not the new model A
which of course missing the icsp port
so i got my soldering kit out and follow the instructions and installed my own.
i follow the guide that radioman did which i would like to say thank you for.
and now the programmer is the A version
the main issue im having is when i go to use the icsp port everything looks good
but when i go to read a pic 16f877a
it reads the check successful no problem.
but there is no data hex or check sum its all blank
so then i go and use the programmer again but use the zif socket instead and it reads the data and check sum perfect.
very weird issue im having as i see nobody else with the same problem as me.
i have recheck everything the wire and the connector and the programmer is the new A version
minipro v6.50
version 03.2.72
MODEL TL866A
any help on this would be great as im lost what to do next
thank you
whoops i think i posted in the wrong forum could someone move it to the correct location
thanks
