PBP projects for R/C models

[ScaleRobotics]

The BIT Whacker schematic shows the connections from the 4 pin USB port [UBUS and USBID] to be different than the connections from 5 pins into J6 [PGB,PGC and RB2].

I think you are sticking your Pickit in the wrong port.

I know they are not spelled out as nice as the schematic, but, your pickit goes on J5 (same one I mentioned earlier). Later, after programming, you can try to plug in the usb host cable. The other 5 pin spots on the board are for USB.



Here is where it goes. Should be a lot happier now...:

I think my PICkit2 is correctly connected. I may have typo'd J5 and/or J6. Here's what I have been doing.



If I attach the USB and the PICkit2 I get the blue POWER light. My Hyperteminal does seem to see the PIC. If I eliminate ASCII echo and I type 'hello' I do get 'hello' on my Hyperterminal GUI. That is GOOD. Trouble is I disconnected the PICkit2 and reconnected and HELLO no longer appears.

I did not connect PICkit2 pin6. That is used as an input to the "LOGIC TOOL".. Everything seems normal except for that error message (about maximum). It seems to download the .hex correctly. But nothing happens. ie the EEPROM embedded code does not to do anything visible. If there were a LED blinking example I could try debugging. The HELLO WORLD would not embed.

Note, below. I get what I type. I think 'echo' is turned off. I think I am connected. Still no StickOS, however.
