I have been able to program the PIC16F627 that came with the kit. When I tried to program a PIC16F648A with the same program changing just the part number in the compiler and the programer it does not work. What am I missing? The part number 16F648A has a yellow check mark in the K8048 program software PicProg2009. The 16F627 has a green check mark. I am using a rs232 serial port.
Only changing the part number will not be enough. You must implement the correct memory registers for the 648. (see *.inc file)
