Hi. I am having a bit of a problem programming my latest project. I have a 28x2 running some led units but I am having some issues getting the program to load.
I have a Windows 10 laptop running the latest version of PE6 and an AXE27. When I try to download the program I get an error message saying that the first byte has not been echoed back. The picaxe continues to run its current program as if it hasn't seen the new one trying to download. I've tried several things like reloading PE6, changing COM ports, resetting the picaxe just as the download starts but nothing makes a difference. The program will load eventually but only after 10 or so attempts. The project is built on shipboard so, I suppose, there might be a problem with the download circuit. I'll have a close look at that tomorrow. Once the download starts it always completes ok and the program runs correctly once it has loaded.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
