PICAXE08M2 Error.

Hello!

I'm using PICAXE VSM and simulating a circuit which uses PICAXE08M2, but I'm getting the error shown in the attached image.

error: C.6 not found.

But there is no C.6 in PICAXE08M2.

Also there are no AXExxx.MDF files in the MODELS folder.

Please upload the AXExxx.MDF files.

Welcome to the PICAXE forum.

From the screenshot it appears you have ISIS version 7.07 where version 7.08 is required for 18M2 simulation and version 7.10 is required for 08M2, 14M2, 18M2+, 20M2 simulation -

If that is the case, then downloading and running the appropriate VSM installer should resolve the issue.

In the version I have installed, there are no AXExxx.MDF files in the MODELS directory so that would appear to be correct.

Excellent observational skills there !

It's in the task bar of the screenshot in case anyone else is wondering where it comes from.

That's probably 2shared.com which seems to be an anonymous file upload site.
I was just flagging that up as if the PICAXE-08M2 was supposed to work with the version of PICAXE VSM he had, then the software might have detected that it was pirated (the work "crack" suggests this) and deliberately failed to work properly because of this.

Yes, thanks for spotting it. We obviously don't guarantee any of our software works with cracked software and cracked software often does cause things that would work on a legitimate version to fail.

Proteus Crack

I was checking if proteus cracked version runs it properly, but it didn't. The cracked version, the registered version, and the demo version of PICAXE VSM all gave the same error. I just sent the screenshot of the registered version. So, the problem is with all the versions, and the problem is in the AXEVSM.DLL.

Yes, the design was tested with registered version and the demo version of PICAXE VSM. The problem is in the AXEVSM.DLL. I just searched for PICAXE VSM Crack, just to make sure if that works properly, but i didn't find a cracked version. The proteus crack... is the link for crack for proteus. I tried to test the .dsn with registered, cracked proteus and demo of PICAXE VSM 2 gave the same error, but the cracked version said AXEVSM.DLL not found.

The demo version gives this error.

No. I was not using cracked version of proteus. You have to see properly. that minimised window is of chrome browser searching for cracked proteus. I tested the .dsn with cracked version also and found that it still gives error.

With the apparently legitimate demo version the error is "DSIM model AXEVSM.DLL failed to authorise - Missing or invalid customer key".

This would suggest that the activation key has not been installed or is not valid for that version of PICAXE VSM. The design loaded appears to be of the "AXE110 datalogger" modified to use a PICAXE-08M2 and the demo version I believe won't allow that unless it has been registered and licensed. This would seem to be correct for the demo version.

As you have installed a number of versions of VSM our recommendation would be to uninstall all of those ( the cracked version may be interfering with legitimate version operation ), reinstall using PICAXE VSM v4.02 Installer, install the Model Patch 4.02, and apply your licence file again -

Where is the Model Patch 4.02 file?

I tried as you said by removing the cracked versions. Now I'm getting the error in screenshot.

If I configure VDD and VCC as 5V, GND = 0V, then the app crashes

It still seems you have ISIS version 7.07 - Are you sure you have installed and are running the version which supports M2 PICAXE ?

The title bar shows "ISIS Professional" where I believe PICAXE VSM should show "ISIS for PICAXE VSM". It is very unclear what you are using so perhaps you could clarify that.

I am not sure of the cause of the VDD configuration error but would assume this is an error in creation or editing of the particular sample design - Do the provided sample designs for other PICAXE work as expected ?

See this, I'm using Demo version of picaxe vsm.

If I configure the power rails as VCC = 5V VSS and GND as GND it gives error. If I configure VCC = VDD = 5V and VSS = GND = GND, the app crashes. If I run the dsn in my registered version of proteus, It says C.6 pin not found. I tested all the .dsn files with my registered version of proteus and all the files work properly except the PICAXE08M2 based. It just gives the C.6 pin not found error. There is no C.6 pin. So it is the problem with AXEVSM.DLL

See this is a screenshot of picaxe08 running in proteus. The problem is just with the picaxe08m2.

This is my code

Code:
' HelloWorld.bas

symbol	a_while	=	500
symbol	LED	=	C.0

#picaxe 08M2

do
	high	LED
	pause     a_while
	low	LED
	pause   a_while
loop
OK I finally managed to run picaxe08m2 based .dsn files in my registered version of proteus. The problem was with one of the .LML file, but the problem still exixts with the demo version of picaxe vsm. If I do not configure VDD, it gives the above error, if it is configured the app crashes.

Check this.

I managed to run picaxe08m2 and other .dsn files in my registered version of proteus 7.10.

Same Error - pinC.6 not found on PICAXE08M2

Hi,

I am running into the same issue. I am running 7.10 with the 4.0.2 patch and getting the pin C.6 not found. Running a simple 4 line basic program and it actually works fine in the 18M2 and 14M2 as the gentleman above discussed. I uninstalled and re-installed everything and same error. Not sure if I need to clear out any registry setting on the uninstall.
