 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

... But new to me ! Really helps not to have to hassle with their cable . ( I bought one, and if it would have worked right, I'd be using it )  |

RevEd made no secret of the specs of their cable - I assume you are talking about AXE027 USB programming cable. I have used a few USB cables to program PICAXE chips, including the common PL2303 one. The key thing is that the USB adaptor has to be able to output a special signal that the system uses in programming over USB - native serial ports are no problems, but only some USB-Serial adaptors have the required signal. This is primarily why RevEd started selling their own cable, which was guaranteed to output the correct signals. I have a couple of AXE027 cables, and I never had any issues getting them going. I do seem to remember that you did have to install a RevEd USB driver for the cable - that might be your problem if you happen to be using Linux, which it seems you are by the pathname, as the RevEd driver will be a Windoze driver, not a Linux one. Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |
