One of my LCD backpacks got stuck in a reboot loop yesterday. Just brought it inside & connected it to the FTDI & see this:- [Code]Micromite MKII MMBasic Ver 5.2 Copyright 2011-2016 Geoff Graham Option error - Cleared OPTION TOUCH Processor restarted Option error - Cleared OPTION TOUCH Processor restarted [/code] Will obviously need a reset or reflash, definitely not having any luck breaking with Ctrl-C in MMedit. Any thoughts on what might have caused it? Cheers. |

You could read out the flash then someone (if you can find a volunteer, if not you) can look at it to see what is set / has happened. Any ICSP tool can probably do it unless you used the program-protect feature. John |

Either there is a hardware error on one of the pins associated with the LCD or you have a bad option setting. Have you tried the exclamation method: Jim VK7JH MMedit MMBasic Help |

Yes, that's how I solved it. It responded to a string of !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sent from MMedit in ASCII mode. Not sure of the cause; but I did notice the LCD now has a scratch. Some of MsK's feline friends are known to play with projects at times. "Touching" LCD's, & but more often taking ownership of jump leads.... Phil. |

"I tawt I taw a puddy tat!" An interesting error loop. Please let us know if that happens again. Perhaps Geoff will chime in with what that error means in laymen's terms. Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |
