@outatime1955 Hi, the software came with the kit, ill try and upload it next week for you :)

dude you got the exact same notebook as me^^ but the kit doesn't work on mine...

@BlueFlame87

Hmm, it must be the cable then, or the com port settings on your pc

Use a inline serial cable NOTa modem cable

Don’t use any usb to serial adaptors it won’t work

Give us a shout if you get it up and running :-)

@aidabab you were absolutly right, I tried to assemble a cable with the plugs that were in the box, and absolutly failed!^^ I then used a cable from a shop and it magically worked... see here: youtube.com/watch?v=n4rYZ_qW0Z­8

Great stuff , I’ve put my velleman kit to bed now , and moved on to a pic kit 2, don’t get the pic kit 3 its crap, once you start using a pic kit 2 and mplab 8.50

You will wonder how you would ever get on with out it; it’s simply the best thing you’ll ever buy In electronics ,
