Hello, please look in the Manual (Micromite plus) on Page 6, i think you need a PicKit for Programming the Firmware.

@kiaandre,

Can you tell us if you have version 1E of the Explore 64? If you do, all you need are 2 free programs that run on a Wndows PC and all you need to do is connect the Explore 64 via usb and run the programs. If you can confirm you have version 1E of the Explore 64, I (or someone else on the forum) can provide detailed instructions on how to burn the latest version of MMBasic.

panky.

PS. There is no bootloader for the MM plus, just the .hex file that is the whole MMBasic program.

... almost all of the Maximites, the MicromMites, the MM Extremes, the ArmMites, the PicoMite and loving it!

Further to the other member's posts, yes, if you have the 1E version, all you need is the free firmware updater program available for download from my website here.

Scroll down - third item.

If you have an earlier version(1B,1C or 1D) then you will need a PicKit-3 and the Microchip IPE. I think you will most likely have the 1E version, but let us know which one and then we can help you from there.
