PBP projects for R/C models

I rediscovered in PICkit2 Programmer the DEVICE FAMILY pull down. There is an entry for the PIC32MX460. I selected that. Low and behold....

CPUStick Basic sounds good. Let me guess at what I must do to get it.

1. Establish the connection between my PICkit2 Programmer and my new PIC32 Whacker.
2. Download from http://www.cpustick.com/downloads.htm one of the StickOS HEX images. Which image is the correct one for my PIC32?
3. Load this .hex image into my Whacker board FLASH using the PICkitr2 programmer.

My observation (from a READ command) is that the 512K of FLASH is blank. This surprised me because I thought the PIC32 Whacker came with embedded software.

Am I guessing correctly?

You got it 100% I thought it came pre-loaded with something too. But you need to write over it anyways. Use the firmware .hex I pointed to in this post: http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/show...4881#post94881

My browser insists on displaying your 'download' .hex file as if it were .txt.

I captured the SOURCE file and wrote it as a .hex file.

I have not looked at an actual .hex file in ages. Did I do the right thing?

Hey Ken,

Sorry I couldn't answer earlier. Are you all sorted out, or are there still questions? I think you may have answered yourself on all the above. But just in case:

Since I pointed you to a hex file, you will not need anything except your PicKit2 to load it into your UBW32. Sounds like you found the J5. Really I don't know where it is either, I just saw it clear as day on the schematic. You would think it might be labeled. I have played a bit with the CUI32, but not the UBW32. The CUI32 is very clearly marked for each pin. Sounds like that may not be the case with the UBW32.

Too bad it is not silk screened. That would have been helpful. I assume you are looking at this. Which could be a lot clearer. http://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/D...MX460_v262.pdf

Are you able to upload the .hex firmware into the device with the Pickit2?
