I didn't change anything at all that I'm aware of, and suddenly I was unable to download any programs onto my PICAXE-28X1, despite that I had been downloading programs without any problems for the past hour or so.
I tried going to Options > Serial Port > Test in PICAXE Programming editor and it definitely isn't connected; in fact, there is no potential difference at all between the Serial In pin and 0V, which isn't supposed to be the case!
Any suggestions on how I could get it to work, please? I've checked the Download Checklist in the manual, but it mostly seems not to be applicable because the downloading worked perfectly for a while, for me, before stopping.
Thanks a lot!
...Also, this is a bit of a side issue, but any help would be appreciated: I'm using an LCD in my circuit, and the characters become increasingly faint, as the circuit operates, until they're hardly visible. Then, if I take away the power supply, wait about a minute, and reconnect it, the display is clear again - but then the same thing happens again. I don't know much about LCDs - is there something obvious I'm missing? Thanks....
