Hi,
I'm new to the 08M2 but have scoured the entire Internet to resolve this issue and can't seem to do it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have an 08M2, using Blockly on Mac OS X and an FTDI cable with a hex inverter for my download. The circuit has been quadruple-checked. I noticed that the PIC AXE FAQs say not to wire the 10k and 22k resistors as a voltage divider - I'm not sure what that means, but I have the 10k to ground, the 22k to serial in, and the input all wired together.
Many sources seem to say the power supply is the main cause of this issue. However, I have tried several new 9V batteries with a 5V regulator, as well as a 5V power supply from my laptop. I also monitored the power during the download and unlike other errors, it stays at 5V even though the download fails.
Any advice would be much appreciated. I have tried downloading Mac AxePad but I keep getting strange errors about missing drivers even though I have installed them; that's another bag of worms.
