Error: Communication failure.

$ python picpro.py -i 628led.hex --pic_type=16F628A -p /dev/ttyUSB0 Waiting for user to insert chip into socket with pin 1 at socket pin 2 Chip detected. Erasing Chip Programming ROM ROM programming failed. Programming EEPROM Error: Communication failure. This may be a bug in this script or a problem with your programmer hardware.

I want to know why I'm getting this issue. I've tried running this script in another computer and I got the same problem. My PIC is ok because I tried in a windows 7 computer (with k150 programmer software) and everything is ok.

I'm getting the same error and tried on win8 and it worked on microbrn.

Sorry I can't be much help here, it's a long long time since I used this!

This repository is just a few minor fixes I made about 10 years ago. Here's the original project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tetsujin/ (but that's probably also not been maintained for a while!)
