MCU Detected: PIC12F508

This error can appear in the mikroProg Suite when the programmer doesn't recognize the MCU. PIC12F508 is chosen as a default microcontroller. 

In case you are using some development boards (i.e. EasyPIC v7) check the placement of the jumpers of the MCLR Pin and Socket Selection pins.

Those should be chosen depending on the DIP socket you are using.

You can see the explanation for those pins on the silk on the board, or in the User manual.

If you are using programmer with the breadboard, double check the programming lines.

Consult with the datasheet of the MCU you are using.

    I'd like to program PIC 16LF 1826 in a socket that is not in EasyPic7 board. I ran out wires Vpp, Vcc, Gnd, Rb6 and Rb7 to the external socket. Now i get this "PIC12508 detected" error. Should i run any other wires to the external socket?


    Thanks

    I did all the controls it says and it's well connected. The error continues the same
