Error hardware not found... what's wrong?
I recently bought the PICAXE-14M Starter Pack from spark fun and have installed both programming software and usb download cable drivers. I set up the com port and the correct chip in the programming software but when I try to communicate (Run, firmware) I get Error hardware not found on comport 9. Ive tried different ports, reinstalling drivers and software and resetting the chip.
But one problem is when I get the error message it says to reset the chip to disconnect the battery, then go to picaxe, run and reconnect the battery when the progress bar appears. Wll I don't get a progress bar and I'm not sure whats wrong because from reading the manual I have done every thing right. I would just like to get this working but every thing I have tried leads to the same error.
