16F628 programming help

[[email protected]]

I am trying to program a 16F628 for a 3 digit thermometer from the
following web site,
http://www.sixca.com/eng/articles/digittemp/index.html. The hex file
that the author provides on this site will not load into my chip
programmer without a Error reading HEX file message. I would e-mail
the author of the project but there is no information about who he is
on the site. There is no contact info for SIXCA.com anywhere on the
site. I am not a programmer so I have no idea how to
check the program for errors. Does anyone know of a contact for
SIXCA.com or maybe have
an idea how to fix the code.

Thanks

Does the format of the HEX-file corresponds to the format your programmer
wants to see? What programmer are you using anyway? Does that programmer
understand the last line of the file (;PIC16F628) to be comment? Simply
check by removing it. As far as I can see there's nothing wrong with the
HEX-file.

You are correct... I removed the ;PIC16F628 from the HEX file and it
loaded fine.

Thanks

You were correct about the last line of the hex file. By removing that
line my programmer accepted to file.
Now if I could just get the darn thing to work in the circuit....
