Pickit 3 - Target Device Issue

[MartinMueller2003]

As long as you see this:

Target Device ID (0x0)

Then you are not really talking to the PIC and you are back to looking at wiring

WOW! OK, that explains a lot. So here is how I connect from the Pickit3 to the chip (see pix).

From what I found:
Pickit 3 PIC
1 (w/ arrow) Blue - Pin 3
2 Green ------------ Pin 1
3 Yellow ------------ Pin 14
4 Orange ----------- Pin 13
5 Red --------------- Pin 12
6 Brown - not used

If you're trying to program a 16F688 I think you need to move the blue wire from pin 3 to pin 4 on the PIC.

Got it! Green 1, Blue 4 all else the same. Unfortunately, same results.

BTW - Thanks!
