All,
My first post here...
I am quite new to PICAXE and had previously worked on few 8M projects. Recently I started on a project with 28X1. The project is unfinished and I was in the process of adding new functions to the main program. I have a breadboard where everything wired and what ever I have implemented so far is working fine.
2 days back I started getting the "hardware not found" error when trying to program or when I try to check. I had gone through everything:
- hard reset on picaxe
- re installed the usb drivers (i use the original cable)
- reset pin pulled up
- checked and rechecked the serial connection (3 pin socket and the 10k/22k)
Everything seems to be fine and the 28x1 is working with what ever I implemented so-far.
Its just that I am unable to write any more changes to the chip.
I replaced the 28x1 with a new one (I should have tried this before) and I am able to download the program without any problem.
So my question is:
- Has my old 28x1 reached its limit and gone corrupt ? if so should it still work with the what ever code i have in it ?
- Could it be just an issue with the Serial in /Serial out pins (Pin 6 and 7) of the old 28x1 ?
- Should I be checking anywhere else in my PC to sort the issue.
I now have the old 28x1 in a different board ready to be programmed again if I get any encouraging pointers from here.
Thanks for your help.
RG.
