Spent a lot of time trying to get a parallel pic programmer running under linux Ubuntu 7.1
Got nowhere so upgraded to Ubuntu 9.1
Loaded Piklab which runs and looks great.
If I select the parallel port I get the message "Your computer might not have any parallel or the /dev/parport x device has not been created. Use 'mknod /dev/parport0 c 99' to create it, and 'chmod a+rw /dev/parport0' to make it rw enabled."
Typed both lines in terminal (with sudo) but still no joy.
My linux knowledge is minimal so now I am stuck. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get going?
My programmer is the Byron Jeff Trivial low voltage parallel (TLVP), and I have set the lines in Piklab as follows:
MCLR (Vpp) to 4(D2) inverted
Power (Vdd) to 5(D3) inverted
Clock to 3(D1)
Data out to 2(D0)
Data in to 10(/ACK)
Data RW to GND (not sure about this one?)
I've put in so much time and it looks like I could be so close now that it would be really great to get to the finishing-line. I'm just completely out of my depth and could really use some help.
Many thanks
