We built a PicAxe 08 starter board. When we attempted to program it using MacAxePad 1.4.1, we got one of two verification errors when clearing memory or programming the first example program from the Getting Started Giude: either "sent 0x00 and received 0xffffff" or "sent 0x00 and received nothing" depending on the cable. Repeated the same process with the same hardware on a PC running PicAxe Programming Editor 5.5.0, and had no problem. We also tried programming a known good Picaxe 08 starter board that I had programmed successfully several months ago using the same cable and Mac - same error. Is there a bug in this version of MaxAxePad?
Using either batteries or a 5VDC regulated supply. Voltages check out.
Using Picaxe 08M2, MacAxePad 1.4.1, Mac OS 10.7.5
Loopback test works
Correctly reads back firmware version
Terminal shows "this is your PicAxe08M2+" repeatedly
Clear Hardware Memory gives a verification error
Program gives the same verification error
Repeat: our hardware and power supply all check out. We are able to program on a PC, but not with MacAxePad on Mac.
Help!
