USB Pics, ICD2, pic basic pro

[vacpress]

off to the other room with it. i have a whole electronics lab, and ive been working on this in my bedroom for some reason.. i will now go rebuild the entire stupid circuit from scratch testing each section, use different USB cables to cut down the chance one is sketchy, etc... what a pain in the ass...

any other hints you may have? photos of your project? anything? suggestions?

thanks.

I got it working! The stinking cable had the standard colors, red, black, green, white, but they were all odd configurations... black was NOT ground!

anyways, now on to the hard stuff.... getting the easyHID code to work in visual basic .net!

Thanks for all the help I am actually very grateful and dont take it for granted at all that you read pages of my inability to use check my USB cable!

I build the circuit on breadboard with a different cable, it worked right away! i tried my other cable.. didnt work, rewired it, it worked, tried my protoboard with the correct wiring: BINGO! like 12 hours later!

glad i went out for those 2 pints in between!

a shame the easyUSB project has 2 run errors in .net


any .net know how mr?

[Darrel Taylor]

Awesom!

any (visual basic) .net know how

Can't help you there, I'm a Delphi guy.

Please hold for the next available operator......beep...

heeelllo google.

Oi! Darrel ....NO!!!!

Hangs head in shame

Dont show pictures of extremely neat breadboards. Where is the possibility of accidently shorting stuff out during development.

Your looks almost like a PCB. The "defining connections" stage of routing a PCB is called a "ratsnest" for one good reason....so it can look like the breadboard that you prototyped on

HA! I eventually used that as inspiration to do an extremely neat breadboarding myself, which worked first time...Imagine!

Really though, the hard part is this software. There is quite alot going on! It is really much more than I am used to, i thought my neworked BS2s had complex code....

Thanks guys, you are a real resource in a sea of difficulties(microcontroller development)

ROFL,

I'll take that as a compliment.

But really, it's just that you don't want to have anything that correlates to Rats in your proto-board, when you have 2 Evil glowing eye'd monsters in the house.
