Connecting the Programmer to the Module

The header does not have to be soldered onto the module’s circuit

board. Just insert the 5-pin header into the programmer, then

insert the pins into the holes on the module. Hold the module

vertically, and allow gravity to hold the programmer in place. The

holes on the circuit board are plated. That is, they have metal

around the inside of the hole. So, gravity will press the pins against

the edges of the holes.

Make sure that the module and the programmer are oriented as

shown in the pictures. The white arrow on the programmer must

point to the left-most hole on the circuit board.

If you click the write button in the PICkit2 software, and get an

error message saying that the chip is not found, that means that

the pins are not making good contact with the holes. Perhaps you

moved a bit during programming. Just click write again. You might

also try pulling the programmer away from the circuit board a little

bit. Just a bit, so that the pins are still in the holes and the

programmer stays in place.

If you get a “Programming failed at Program Memory Address

0x000000” error message, even though you have done everything

right, then you should try checking the “EEPROM Data Enabled”

checkbox. It means that your saved patterns will be erased, but if

all else fails, checking that box has been found to make the process work.
