Microcontroller development board version3 software
Hi Guys
Are there any old or upgraded software available for a PICmicro Microcontroller development board version3 HP488-00-3.
Does it have any other function on the board except for running the usb?

Hi
Is it possible to re-program the USB interface chip on my development board?

Re: Microcontroller development board version3 software
Hi Enamul
Thanks for the reply, I realy hope someone can help me with this.
A few days ago my power supply for my V3 development board over heated & stopped working for unknown reasons. After replacing the power supply my programmer was working again with no obvious problems but for some reason if I program my old working rs232 test program with Hardware RXint & Software RB0Int the software side give me strange errors.
If I send a byte via Pc for instance Dec 1-80 the pic will reply with the correct value but as soon as I send something like 90 it reply with 218, 100 reply with 228 or Ascii A –J will be correct but ascii K will reply with <(CB)> and ascii L will reply with <(CB)>.
I’ve also tested the following.
Test the software on different pins with and without interrupts.
Test and replaced max 232 chip (Both channels working correct)
Tested & replaced different versions of pic’s
Tested both rs232 ports and serial software on two different pc’s
Used flowcode on a different pc to load the program
Could the problem be the usb interface chip on my development board not programming the correct way. (It does feel a little hot sometimes)
The strange thing is that only the software port is giving problems.

Re: Microcontroller development board version3 software
HI
I have looked through the code and the code is fine know issue is there. There must be something wrong with the hardware. From PC are you sending string or character; what is the length of wire?

Re: Microcontroller development board version3 software
Hi Enamul
I'm sending 1 Character at a time to test over a 1m serial cable.
The problem is that I know my original program was working and was sending and receiving multiple bytes without a problem.
The receive problem only started after the suspected short, but why only on the software part of the rs232?

Re: Microcontroller development board version3 software
You mean after short only software RS232 causing problem...hardware usart using RXint works fine?

Re: Microcontroller development board version3 software
Yes, So far I can not find any other problems.
That's why I think it might be the program not loading correctly.

Re: Microcontroller development board version3 software
I don't think that. Because I was using RS232 with RB0 int and it's happen to miss some data because of long distance but your distance is only 1 m. So confusing..You know later on I have move to CAN and CAN is absolutely reliable.

Re: Microcontroller development board version3 software
Do you know if microchip has cheap programmers that can program the same chips as the V3 Development board or the EB006?
I urgently need to replace my programmer but our local supplier can only get me a matrix EB006 early in January 2013

Re: Microcontroller development board version3 software
Hello,
You can program the Eb006-00-7 and above directly using the PICKit2/3 with the ICSP header that is on the board, for the HP488 v3 and EB006-00-6 and below you will need an adapater to change the ICSP on the PICKit2/3 to an RJ45 connection to plug into the RJ45 socket on the boards.

Hi David
I'm going to get myself a pickit 3 but would still like tor repair my HP488 v3 development board.
Do you know if I can still get a replacement chip with firmware for the HP488 v3 board.

Re: Microcontroller development board version3 software
Hello,
Yes that will be possible, please email <sales>@<matrixmultimedia>.<com> and explain you need a PPP chip for a HP488 v3 dev board, they will be able to advise
