If anybody can help me with this problem is would really appreciate it.
I'm trying to program the PICAXE-14M using USB to serial converter, to no avail. I did the USB test in the options menu in the PICAXE IDE and it works as intended. However as soon as i try and program the the pic i get a list of errors, from possible incorrect frequency selection to a possible blank microcontroller. I dont know what the problem is, my usb to serial converter works, i've tested it on hyperterminal. The program im trying to run is quite simple, all i do is switch on an LED as a start to see if i can program the pic.
Do i need to use the AXE026 serial programmer specifically or could i possible have bought a blank micro controller? (I'm using the PIC16F864)
Any help out there?
