Now that I've started bread boarding to check out my code, I've hit another roadblock, grrr.
I am using the PIC18F45K22 which should run on 2.1 to 5.5 volts.
I am using a regulated 5 volt supply.
In each case everything seemed fine. I was able to download and run a few iterations of my code.
However, after no more than an hour, I would get the "No hardware found on COM1" error.
I checked my connections and rebooted the PC with no change. Both chips appear to be dead.
I put in a 20X2 just to check my system and it works fine. (I have not run the 20X2 for extended time yet)
What gives?
Thanks, Al
