PIC P18

[Stanley07]

I am needing some help.  I have the following items:
PIC-P18-20MHz Development prototype board for 18 pin PIC microcontrollers
wired TX to Pin#8 and RX to Pin #7
Hex file

What mplab version do I need to get the hex file into my PIC 16F628?  Ideally I could use step by step directions with pictures  but any help would be very appreciated.

The MPLAB or MPLAB-X version doesn't matter, since you don't have the assembler or C-code - just the .hex file. You need a PickIT-2 or PickIT-3 to program the device, though. There are many places to find how-to's for the programming - just Google. (e.g. http://www.sq-1.com/pickit2.html may be a start)

Also consider our PIC-KIT3 programmer since it comes with a connector fitting PIC-P18-20MHz. It should behave like the Microchip one.
