hardware not found

[friis]

Hello,
I have a problem with my development starter pack. When I select PICAXE/Program
I get the message "hardware not found on /dev/ttyUSB0". No matter which port on
the computer the USB cable is in.
1. I have assembled the bord as shown in the attached picture: The cut-out in
the MP is up. The red wire is +. The USB-cable can be attached to any USB on
the computer. The green light is on.
2. I have downloaded the editor
3. I have entered 99-axe027.rules as follows:

# /etc/udev/rules.d/99-axe027.rules
# contains axe027 udev ryle to patch default
# FTDI product id to AXE027 product id (0xbd90)

ATTR{idProduct}=="bd90", ATTR{idVendor}=="0403", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -q
ftdi_sio product=0xbd90 vendor=0x0403"
4. I can run a serial loop back test with the USB-cable in any port on the
computer
5 I cannot do a serial port test because I cannot find Show Port Help Tools
under View/Options
6. Under View/Options I have selected ModeICAXE-18M2 and
Port: /dev/ttyUSB0. The 3 buttons AXE027 modprobe, USB Setup and USB Help
produce no results. When I press the button Firmware under Port I get the same
error message as above.
7. Under /dev I find ttyUSB0
8. I am running Linux

I have run out of ideas. Can anyone help?
Best regards
Torben

PS! I cannot attach the picture - it is too large.

Hi everybody,
My fault - I had connected to the wrong socket. It should be the one in the middle of three. I can now download the pgm (and data). But no LED starts flashing. Is the LED the one on the board of the development starter pack or do I have to supply my own?

Welcome to the Forum.


1. Is this your starter pack?

2. Please post your program.

Hi e,
I thought it was the development starter kit, but looking at your picture it looks like the experimenter starter kit. The price is right.


Here is the pgm:

main:
high B.1
pause 5000
low B.1
pause 5000
goto main

Have you connected the correct pin
via jumper wire
to one of the LED sockets?

See pages 6/7 of

Hi e,
No, I did'nt know I had to. I dont have a jumper wire, I dont know what the correct pin is. Is the LED socket the one called L1 on the other side of the board seen from the microprocessor?
As you see, the board is a mystery to me - is there anywhere where I can find instructions on how to use the board?

Honestly, it is not that difficult. : -)

1. Buy some jumper wires, or make some jumper wires.

2. Print the Datasheet.

3. Read the Datasheet and have fun playing with the AXE091

4. If you have any questions, post in the Active Forum.
