Post by thread:[PIC:] Anyone in Portland, OR who can loan me the

So I'm trying to finish my Wisp628. I have the 628A chip, and my old programmer, which can faithfully program 628s until the cows come home, can't seem to program the 628A. (sigh... which is why I'm building the Wisp) Is there any chance that anyone on this list who lives in the Portland OR Metro area would be willing to let me use their programmer long enough to flash the Wisp firmware into my 628A? thanks, steve

It will most probably work, especially at 20C and 5.0 Volt. Now the very first thing you do is program the 16F628A with the Wisp628 firmware and put it in place of the 16F628, and you live (program) happily ever after.
