Programming the ICs

[japi]

Sorry I forgot to reply this to you:

Japi,
Is that how all ICs pinouts are? Linear from Pin1 like that? I assumed the IC pinout was the same as the LCD socket pinout as documented here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=131

I think ICs are linear from pin 1, and connectors are counted with even and odds as you mentioned earlier in this post.

Early you provided this image which is what I was basing my testing of PIN14. Is this image correct or not?

Correct

It is correct
Remember:

ICs = from pin 1 linear
connectors = even and odds

Good, then I've been testing the correct pin for Pin14.
