Don, you're such a newbie in Maximites..... ;)

Mine is a story of frustration......

27-4-11 Bought April Silicon Chip for a different project.
27-4-11 Discovered Maximite article and couldn't get the March issue
30-4-11 Ordered Maximite from Altronics
01-5-11 Found I wont get it until July. Its actually arrived
02-5-11 Ordered boards from BatchPCB, ordered PIC32 from Microchip
09-5-11 Waited
12-5-11 PIC32 arrives
16-5-11 Waited
20-5-11 Boards finally shipped
27-5-11 BatchPCB boards finally arrive
28-5-11 Assemble first board - cant make it boot
07-6-11 Lots of troubleshooting, no success. Order 2 more PIC32s
14-6-11 PIC32s arrive, build up second board. Same result, wont boot
17-6-11 Pick up one of Richards from Don, nice to see one go
20-6-11 Accidentally work out what is stopping my other from booting
21-6-11 Altronics kit arrives.

Now I have one Maximite, one minimal Maximite, one Maximite SM1 and an unbuilt kit.

Time to play now......
