Hi,

my snadpic board arrived today, with 20 mhz Crystal and 100 PIN MX470.
Loaded the HEX File and Basic things work.
Connection is made via usb.

But be aware, that the pinout is different and geoff will make it compatible in future Versions ;-)

hello AtMega,
do you have a link on ebay to order the board ?

and what HEX file to use ? the same as for 64 pins ? or a beta "special" version ?

You will find that Com2, Com3, Com4/uart console, SSD1963, PS2 keyboard, don't work.

ILI9341/touch may work using SPI2 pins: SPI2_IN:3, SPI2_OUT:11, SPI2_CLK:10

Other functionality should work subject to same issues identified on 64-pin part using the 64-pin firmwareEdited by matherp 2015-07-31

Here The Link.

You must order with 20 MHz chrystal and The MX470....
I used the normal hexfile.

Again, remember ther are differences and incompatibilties until Geoff makes all The necessary changes.
But The processors are binary and register compatible.

Am i rigth " matherp " ?

Nice to hear that SnadPic board is working fine. Mine is on its way from Montreal to my home and estimate delivery within 1-2 days.

BTW,

is there anybody out there who can explain why and where are the differences between the 64 and 100 PIN Versions and why there are different compilations?

I asked for this already in another thread but got no answers;-((((..

Quote why and where are the differences between the 64 and 100 PIN Versions and why there are different compilations?

I don't expect there will be different compilations, the same binary will work on both. Currently, Geoff hasn't yet had time to finish the pin allocation for the 100-pin and test it thoroughly but wanted to get b23 out there for the 64-pin and the MX170 variants.

In the code there are lots of conditionals "if(has_100pins)" which deal with the differences but all these need coding and testing. This is easy enough but lots of time consuming slog work. Then when you think it is fixed you find that PF0 on the 64-pin works as, for example, UART1-TX but because of a silicon error on the chip doesn't on the 100-pin - AAAAGH!!!!!

I flashed SnadPIC board with MM+B23 FW, but have no USB console response. Looks like a USB driver is missing on my W 8.1 and the same on W 10.
Any idea where to get MChip USB driver?

Take note of the problems we have experienced with Windows 10
So far, no joy with the Micromite Plus.

W8.1 has no issues but you will have to disable driver signing to install the Silicon Chip drivers.

SnadPic is working fine with Windows 8.1 and F8 trick, but not yet success with Windows 10. The W10 say "The best driver (Microsoft) is installed".
