Changing a Freestyles DMX address

(1/5) > >>

MrChristmas2000:
I know this is an old product but it has worked well and gives widely distributed control of many elements.

I have not had to program any of my freestyles in several years but this year I have the need to replace one with a spare.

I have followed the address process using both Vixen and the 'Lynx Address Utility'.

I have tried both programming processes called for in the manual.

Neither of my 2 spare Freestyles will program to any address but '1'.

Is there a location in the PIC code that could be manually edited and the PIC reprogrammed with the hard coded address of 257?

Any help would be appreciated before I totally loose all my hair.  :)

Using Pickit programmer:
Its in the EEPROM Data area

Memory locations 02 and 04
You have to put in the Hexadecimal value.

257 = 0X101 so (only two digits per location)

Memory 02 = FF
Memory 04 = 02

Wow, that will be much easier than changing out all that equipment. Thanks <res.

I just have to pull out my old Pic Kit 2. LOL. Have not used that one in a very long time.

MrChristmas2000:
Ok, I have read the PIC and the screen looks like the attached dump.

I look at what appears to be location 002 and it currently has a value of F000 and location 004 has a value of FFFF.

So if I understand you correctly I change those bytes to 00FF and 0002 respectively?

Am I correct or reading the instructions wrong?

Thanks for your help.

No NO

Look at the bottom where it says EEPROM Data

You are looking in the Program Memory section

I marked your picture for the locations
