Hey everyone.
I have just assembled my dongle, and that went very smoothly. Computer recognizes it and everything.
I am having troubles with the programming. I have You are not allowed to view links.
Register or
Login programmer. I have burned hundreds of PICS just fine, but I am running into trouble with the dongle hex file.
When I load the hex file, the programmer claims that it is corrupt. The checksum it is giving me is 6BDC. I assume, by the wiki, is supposed to be 0A6F. I have downloaded it several times from different places and havent gotten anything different. When I try to program it, despite the corrupt file, it gives me a validation error. By doing a little digging I have found that after the program ends, the hex file is filled with FFFF's and all my past programs have been blank after the program.
Sorry for LONG post, but I just wanted to give as many details as I could. Thanks for your help guys! (Esp. RJ and John! I received all my parts in excellent shape!)
