IT WORKS!!! I made the adapter to make the rj45 into 3 pin xlr and i saw blinky lights on my professional stuff. And i made a one channel sequence and that channel turns on and off. Its scary after all of this diagnosis on the thing andd it was as simple as puting a check mark in the box that says /mclr.

Good job sticking with it.    I'm glad it was just the PIC programming ... as your soldering looked good to me.

All right now that holland lights has his problem solved lets take a look at my solder job & see if anything is bad. I to had his same problems, but I sent my Pic out to be programed so if that needs to be redone I will have to mail it off.

in the pictures for the top of the board, i cant see the pins that come up through the board. check around the pic, and around the usb component, to make sure there arent any solder bridges top side.

remember to remove all the chips from sockets before doing resoldering work.  in case you leave the iron on too long, THOSE chips would be safe out of the device.


don't need any      <md..

yea one of the things i done was go to each pin and heat it up and apply more solder if it needed it.  I went to bed and laid there and thought and thought about what could still be wrong, then i remembered that box that wasnt checked, hmm i wondered. so i clicked on it and reprogramed it. and wa la it worked.  mmais68569 might consider buying your own programmer sometime, so you dont have to wait to come back to you when you need one done.

I have taken a magnifying glass to ever solder joint on the backside & can not see any that are missed. I guess it is either off to bisquet to check the program of the PIC or in the trash & back to LOR.
