Ok, that sounds logic.
The problem for me is that i'm a mechanical engineer and I don't have any electronic equipment except for the multimeter.
But I have 3 PICsteps and none of them work, so there must be something fundamentally wrong.
Is it possible to test if the PIC is working correctly by this method?:

By changing the direction pin of the input connector you should see pins 12 and 13 change state. i.e. less than one volt to greater than 3.3V. If it does the PIC is programmed.

When I'm running a program on Mach3, i measure that pins 12 and 13 change state sometimes. But I don't know how often it should change state.
