hi i just bought a picaxe 18x chip and a board, i dont believe it was actually one of the official picace.co.uk ones, but here is the circuit to give you a brief idea.. http://www.oatleyelectronics.com/kits/Notes/k193.zip the circuit looks pretty dodgy to me but i made it up anyway.. soldered and plugged it all in and it wouldnt work!
i tried testing for voltage on the outer voltage rail but nothing.. i rearranged it so basically now it skips the resistors and capacitors because im using a regulated power supply anyway.. now i get voltage! but then i try and iterface it to the programming software and it cant find it! it pops up with an error box saying it cant connect, ive tried it on 3 different com ports
ive checked the each wire of the com port out and their fine. i even added a status LED and the com port i trying to communicate with it.. but nothin:/
