A little help please.

Have read every thing on this site about firm ware installation.

Have down loaded PICIT-3  program.

Have built SSC v3 with mod.

PICKIT-3 plugged into the PC and SSC.

What are the steps to get the firmware into the SSC?

How do you down load the firm ware to program?

If you read everything you should have noticed a number of warnings about not using mplab to program.  Go to this link and download the programming utility.  If you have never done it before you may be asked to update the firmware for the pickit 3 first.  Just follow the instructions.

I open the file. Go threw the next three stages.
It says it down load. Then nothing in the my PC.

What do I do next?

Is this what I'M looking for?

[sjb]

Yes that is what you are looking for. Now you have to import the hex file into the PICkit3 program and then write it to the chip.

In the second capture screen shot

See at the top where is says extract all files? Click on that to extract the program from the zip file. When that is done it should open a new window with the real program. Run that program

When the program is running and the pickit3 is connected to the SSC then you have to select the correct PIC, PIC24FJ32GA002 then you can load the hex file you downloaded from the wiki Smart String Controller modded

After that then you click on the write button and the SSC is now flashed with the firmware. Then you need to program it with the Smart String Utility program that RJ wrote.

clear as mud?

Yes just select the PIC your are programming from the drop down menu in this case PIC24FJ32GA002  then from the 'File' menu select import hex file and select the MOD 3 hex file you downloaded from the WIKI to your computer and then select 'Write' and you should be good to go.

Question:

Are you running the program from the zip file or the exe file? Reason I am asking is one of your screen shots shows a writing error which would happen if your are running inside the zip file.
