 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. |

well, your doing better than me! I'm still having problems trying to reprogramme a DuinoMite-Mini with the latest version of MMBasic. Not sure whether its me (most likely)or documentation errors. Please could you do a step-by-step guide for the rest of us? |

How to re-flash a DuinoMite Mini Remove all power from the board Ensure the jumper EXT / USB is across "USB" Now connect the USB cable to the board You should have red LED and yellow LED ON Hold down the reset button ( black ) AND then press the user button ( cream ) Keep holding down the USR ( cream button ) and release the black reset button. As soon as you release the reset button, yellow and green LED flash back and forth Run program "HIDprogrammer.exe" USB bootloader V2.90a for Olimex Boards Program should say "Device Attached" "Connecting...." "Device Ready" Files "import Firmware Image" Select .hex file containing image. Says "Opened: DuinoMite_MMBasic_V3.2A.hex" Now "Program" , "Erase/Program/Verify" device LED will stop flash, then flash some more Bar will progress // Starting Erase/Program/Verify Sequence. Do not unplug device or disconnect power until the operation is fully complete. Erasing Device...

Many thanks vk4tec for that detailed explanation. I can see where some original bits of documentation may have lead me astray, but will now have another go and let you know how it goes. |

Just tried reprogramming by following vK4tec's very clear instructions and every stage worked just fine! Thanks again. |
