New Clock Issue

(1/2) > >>

ponddude:
I am at a little bit of a loss here with my new clock.  I got all the parts from the COOP (thanks Mike!) and assembled one up.  However, when I powered everything up, the whole board lit up.  It was a great test to check the LEDs, but defeats its clock-ish purposes.  I thought it was a firmware issue, so I swaped the PIC and still no luck.  I wanted to reprogram the PIC, but the firmware isn't posted anywhere.  (Mike, if you have it can you post it?)  All my solder joints look good, so I am stuck here.  Suggestions?

tbone321:
I don't have one of these but did you attempt to set the time?  This might just be the unset conditon of the clock.

ponddude:
Yes, I should have said that in the first post.

According to the wiki, you are just supposed to press the select button to set the time and press set.  That doesn't do anything for me.

n1ist:
I used a homegrown adapter to program the PIC; something may have gone wrong there.  The hex file is now in the wiki, under Equipment->Aeon.

ponddude:
That did it Mike...thanks for posting that!!

The firmware didn't get loaded correctly.  1 minute worth of reflashing and we are ticking away!!

Man this clock is going to look great on my wall!!

Thanks again for the COOP work Mike.  Great work!
