lvp programmer help needed

[Vellywi]

Hi
How to program a PIC16F877A using Low-Voltage-Programming Cable (LVP ICSP) using 'Lothar Stolz' Low-Voltage-Programming Cable from


Does it require that the PIC must contain some sort of BootLoader or Firmware.

Can't i just buy a PIC16F877 from http://www.kynix.com/Detail/10380/PIC16F877A-I%2FPT.html market and Program it directly using LVP. Or, does it require additinal steps.

Also what about PIC16F877A and PIC18F4550

Please Help


I just bought a new PIC16F876A and now wish to program it with LVP (Lothar stolz Low Voltage Programmer) and use the folowing circuit and program to test it afterwards.

My Program is:

start:
TRISA = %000000
TRISB = %00000000
TRISC = %00000000
High PORTC.5
End


for the Low voltage Programming cable and tell me what steps need to followed for programming the brand new PIC16F876A using LVP. ALso, i wish to use the internal RC oscillator.

Please help i am a rookie

thanks in advance
