Can not download to PICAXE

[kristercnc]

Hello,
I have problem down loading to PICAXE. The last 3 programs I have tried do not work.
See picture for faultmessage and program.
It is possible to download older programs that I have made. And it use to work fine.

Welcome to the PICAXE Forum.

Can you try removing characters like "Ä", "Å" and any other non-standard characters like that from the subprocedure names. The PICAXE compiler doesn't like names containing characters like that.

I tried creating a new program with just a label 'prc_Ä' and nothing else and I got the same error message that you're getting so those characters must be the culprit.

prc_Ä:
    ^

Error: Illegal character: ((0xFFFFFFC4))

Hello,
Thanks for the help. So I have to use english in the programs, instead of swedish.

Looks that way. However you can put the Swedish name in the Cell comment textbox in the dialog where you name the subprocedure. For the subprocedure name itself, use the same name but replace "Ä" and "Å". with "A".
