I have run into a bit of an issue. I built a custom PCB and used an 08M2+
I was able to successfully program the chip once with some code that interacts with the terminal using the serial in and out pins (C.5 and C.0). But I can no longer reprogram the chip. I'm using PE 6.0.8.6. I've tried pressing the program button and then connecting power to the PCB but it still says no hardware found. I've tried two different computers with the same result. The PCB has a 2.5V LDO and I've confirmed I'm getting a solid 2.5V to the PICAXE. I've bypassed the regulator with 4.35V and still can't get PE to check PICAXE type connected or program it. I've given the board a good washing to make sure their isn't any stray flux... still no dice.
I know the PICAXE is working, because the program executes just fine and I can interact with it at the terminal. I have a DS3232M RTC on the PCB that I can set the time on it with the terminal and program just cruises along... I just can't reprogram it with an update!! Too bad my first attempt at the program wasn't perfect....
Any ideas?
