Hi All
I am trying to use an AXE132 LCD driver kit to drive a weird Vacuum Fluorescent display (VFD) which has a fairly non-standard interface and very non-standard commands (uses 00h - 1Fh codes for commands).
So I want to modify the AXE133 program to take account of the VFD's requirements.
However when I try to program the driver kit PICAXE I get the message
Error - incorrect hardware found for this software mode .... and then
The software is currently in the mode for - PICAXE 18m2
The hardware connected to the computer is - Unknown
On checking the chip in the AXe132 Kit it's an 18M2+. Is this why I am getting these errors?
My PE is v 5.4.0 - should I upgrade to V6 - I was reluctant to as it says at's only beta.
Or should I just get a standard 18m2 chip and program that?
BTW my AXE132 works fine with the PICAXE OLED 16x2 and another LCD 20x4, so there is nothing wrong with it!
Many thanks // David
