I have successfully programmed a picaxe-08M using the School Experimenters board (AXE092) which is connected to the PC via the USB serial cable. I have just purchased the PICAXE-08M2+ which I was certain was a direct replacement for the 08M albeit enhanced ( bigger memory etc). To make a long story short, the 08M2+ cannot be programmed ( at least I have not been able to yet) with the Schools Experimenters Board. The error dialog box comes up when I try to down load a trivial program to it:
It says:
--------------------------------------------------------
Error-incorrect hardware found for this software mode!
Possible Causes:
1) Software is in the wrong mode.
2) wrong hardware is connected.
The software is currently in the mode for: Picaxe-08M 4MHz
The hardware connected to the computer is : Picaxe-08
Do you want to change mode
yes no
-------------------------------------------------------
Could this be a Programming Editor Problem?.. The version I'm currently using is 5.2.0.
Could all the PICs I purchased ( 10 off) be bad? Maybe they have not got the boot-strap software loaded? although they were purchased from the genuine PICAXE SHOP.
I'm new to Forums and I'm finding difficulty in navigating around so could some one help me on this.
Much appreciated.
