 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. |

@TassieJim I am trying to flash a chip, but can't figure this out. 'Program Master' mentions Arduino and seems to do nothing while "Program Target" takes me to my Hex files, I select a file and MM.Flash tells me it is programming via 1455 ver. 5.05.03 in .006 seconds. I am obviosly doing it wrong. This is an a Windoze Mach. I normally use Robert Rozees 'PicProg GUI', too easy, but I want to see if I can flash a chip on Linux and with 'PICProg GUI' I cant select the USB port.

Program Master will program the Arduino nano with Robs firmware. You only do that once if you keep a dedicated nano for programming. Then program target will send the MMBasic firmware to the MM chip via the Arduino If you are using a PIC1455 that is already programmed, you don't have to do the program master step. I don't know what success you will have under Wine. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

So do I need the Arduino if I am using a 1455, I'm still lost, is there a write up about this on TBS. "It is better to be ignorant and ask a stupid question than to be plain Stupid and not ask at all" |

If you are using the PIC, read Geoff's article on the microbridge. https://geoffg.net/microbridge.html VK7JH MMedit |

I think I understand it now, I am programming through the 1455. Don't know why I need the PGC and PGD pins, I thought the 1455 would take care of that. It seems to work, runs through everything and says it programmed but it only takes a fraction of a second and does not program the chip. I don't think I will bother with it, don't know if it will work on Linux anyway but it seems to do the same as on Windows. If I have to use Windows to flash the chips so be it.

I also receive this file. "It is better to be ignorant and ask a stupid question than to be plain Stupid and not ask at all" |

That file is just the settings that get remembered between sessions. If you delete it, the default settings get used next to. MMFlash and Rob's GUI are both wrappers for the commandline tool so if one doesn't work under Wine, it is most likely that the other one won't work either. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

@TassyJim I'm using Windows10. Paul "It is better to be ignorant and ask a stupid question than to be plain Stupid and not ask at all" |
