DRVTST1 is very simple and stupid program, but you can use it to set or test all the the programmer pins. >From drvtst1 prompt: Set data pin to high level ->DATA 1<enter> read back data pin ->DATA<enter> should get 1 high level Set data pin to low level ->DATA 0<enter> read back data pin ->DATA<enter> should get 0 low level if the above sequence works then PIP readback should also work. if the above fails please check the PICLIST mailings about comments on data readback hardware issues. if the problems still exist, let us know. antti ---------------------------------------------------------- -- Antti Lukats Silicon Studio -- -- spam_OUTsisTakeThisOuTrasi.lr.ttu.ee PO Box 3500 -- -- ftp://rasi.lr.ttu.ee/pub/sis Tallinn EE0001 -- -- http://rasi.lr.ttu.ee/~sis Estonia -- ----------------------------------------------------------

What is wrong ? >> Thanks in advance. I had problems with it, too. Direcly connected to the PC it worked fine, but with 1m cable it didn't. I fixed it by placing a 100nF cap. parallel to the 2K2 resistor (between CTS and DTR). It works fine now! Lothar
