With the EPIC Windows software started, set the configuration
switches one by one under the Options menu.
Device: Sets the device type. Set it for 16F84 (default).
Memory size (K): Sets memory size. Choose 1.
OSC: Sets oscillator type. Choose XT for crystal.
Watchdog timer: Choose On.
Code protect: Choose Off.
Power-up timer enable: Choose High.

After the configuration switches are set, insert the PIC 16F84 micro-
controller into the open socket on the EPIC programming board. If
you receive an error message “EPIC programmer not found” when
CodeDesigner starts the EPIC Windows program (see Fig. 6.19), you
have the option of either troubleshooting the problem or using the
EPIC DOS program. For instructions on using EPIC software
(DOS version), see the PICBASIC compiler section. The schematic
for the circuit is the same schematic used for the PICBASIC
compiler.

Apply power to the circuit. The LEDs connected to the PIC micro- 119
controller will alternately turn on and off.
