I just received my 14Ms in the mail yesterday. (In the US)
I updated the programming editor to 5.0.8 then to 5.1.1.
I built the standard interfacing circuit and tested it with an 08M. Pulled the 08M out and put a 014M in. Changed the device mode to 14M.
Test the firmware and get:
firmware version 9.A
PICAXE 14M-firmware version A
Try to clear hardware memory:
Error incorrect hardware:
Software is currently in the mode for: PICAXE 14M-4Mhz
Hardware connected to the computer is: PICAXE 14M
Try to program the chip:
Error 53: File not Found
The following path is invalid:
C:/......./picprog/picaxe14a.exe
A search of my harddrive reveals that this file does not exist.
I uninstall the programming editor completely, reboot and reinstall each of the files testing as I go. Under 5.0.7 I can successfully clear and program the 14M as an 08M. (Though the firmware reports that it is an 08M)
Under 5.0.8 I can successfully clear and program the 14M as an 08M. (Now the firmware is reporting that it is a 14M) When I install the final patch to 5.1.1 I am back to getting the same errors detailed earlier.
I get this behavior going directly through the serial port and through a USB -> serial adaptor.
I will check back regularly if you need additional clarification.
Thanks!
