hi fellows,
talking about the connection cable, the printed K8076 manual that comes with the kit shows clearly (Fig2.0, p.10) that only pins 3,4,5,7,8 and 9 are connected; but the (updated) pdf manual found at the website says additionally that “pin 9 IS NOT connected in K8076!”. Following all these info, I built a cable with only pins 3,4,5,7 and 8 connected.
But, I wonder about which is the final correct wiring of the connection cable(?)
Any suggestion for the cable connections from Velleman would be much appreciated.
kind regards
lazzy
ps. Beside the above, I have tried both a factory made 9pin, pin-to-pin serial cable and a cable built according to the specifications found in the manual(s), as described above, and both cables ended with the same haphazard functioning of the kit; for my case, trying to program a 16f876 and a 16f877-20 pic, I was succesful for once with the former (all other following attempts resulted in errors!), while I was repeatedly unsuccesful with the latter.
