2Have fun blinking some LEDs
I also posted a couple of tutorials for the sake of old times explaining how to write a short ASM code and how to program it into a PIC16F628 MCU and blink some LEDs. Only for those who are interested:
-
3IC-rog settings for using it as a JDM programmer
when the above message appears, go to the Hardware settings and select the following
make sure to check the Enable NT/2000/XP driver tick box.

4Resonator socket
You can make a resonator socket like in the image above by trimming a line DIP socket and removing the center pin. This socket will allow you to switch between multiple resonators and configure your launchpad accordingly.

5About soldering the RS232 connector
Make sure you have strong connection between the mounting pads of your connector. If you don't have, make the above strap with a wire. This would provide the GND pin for the C7 capacitor.
