A beginners guide to the maximite Control Centre
MMCC makes extensive use of tool-tips.
Hover your mouse over a button or text field and a brief description of the button will pop up.
Getting started in simple steps:
1. Choose the device type from the pull-down list (Picomite and PicomiteVGA are the same as far as we are concerned)
2. Select the com port. If you device is not plugged in, insert it now and the port will appear in the terminal window. This is an easy way to determine what com port your device is using.
3. Select the baud rate. On the picomites, any baud can be used. It will always run at full USB speed. Other devices must match the device settings.
You now have the minimum settings needed to connect. There are a few extra steps that should be taken to save grief later.
We will save your chosen settings as a pre-configured device.
4. Give the device a name. Keep it short so it fits on the button.
5. Save the settings. If the name is the same as an existing device, the old settings will be overwritten. To delete a device, clear the device specifications text box and save it to the name you wish to delete. Next time you start MMCC, the device will be gone.
6. When you are ready, you can "connect"
In MMEdit, click on the send toolbar button (far right) and your program will be loaded onto the device using AUTOSAVE (or the device equivalent). After a short delay to allow time for large programs to be safely saved, the program will RUN
