My Setup:
Pickit 3
PIC12F629
Legion 5i Tower
MPLAB IPE v6.00 ( Software )

Attached below is a picture of my physical setup!

I have tried almost every combination of erasing, verifying and trying different chips etc and I still get these same errors.
"Target Device ID (0x3fe0) is an Invalid Device ID. Please check your connections to the Target Device."
"Target has invalid calibration data (0x3f)."
Either of these tends to result in a "Failed to program / verify device."
Im not sure what to do and I have read probably 30 threads and I'm still lost.

Thank you!

 

What software are you using to communicate with the Pickit3?

 

to add, here is a picture of my setup!

Mod: lightened your image.

hi aaron,
Welcome to AAC.
Have you seen this Micro link, ref ID problems, it may help.

thank you!
i sadly do not have an oscilloscope handy and it seems to be the main solution, the others ones I have already troubleshooted

 

Nice picture. Please take another of the back side showing the wires, and include a schematic of the 5 connection between PICKit and PIC.

"3F" is all ones, implying there is no communication happening. For me, this means I've once again swapped data and clock. I do that at about 50/50 correctly, even when laying out PCBs.

thank you so much for your detailed response, it means alot!
im not too sure what you meant by schematic but I have a couple pictures here

 

Shouldn't J1 be selected to J1 B ?
Looks to me as if you have J1 A jumpered

 

hi aaron,
It looks like you have the 12F in the wrong hole position of the programmer,
Pin #30/11 is the correct postion

Nice one ericgibbs, your picture is much clearer.

And of course, I agree with your diagnosis

thank you for the wonderful response
still receiving this error
"

Connecting to MPLAB PICkit 3...

attatched below is my modified chip placement, is this correct?

Move J1 down to position B
The middle position

 

Move J1 down to position B
The middle position

i have no idea what this means lmao, can you specify?

 

i moved j1 to position b on the right hand side,
where should I put my pic?

 

hi aaron
Look here for 'B'
Place the 12F in the position I posted earlier. #11 and #30
E

 

this is my current setup now, also when trying to program I get "Too much current has been drawn on VDD. Please disconnect your circuit, check the CLK and DATA lines for shorts and then reconnect." and my board is kind of hot. I have another chip, hoping this one isn't fried.

 

hi aaran,
Please post the instruction document that was supplied with the programmer.

It is just possible, due to being initially incorrectly fitted, the 12F may have failed.

EDIT<
You have put the 12F in the Wrong holes.!!!!

where should i put it? i counted 9 from the side and it came up to that one, should I line it up with 30/11?

 

hi,
Look here.
