I'm sure this topic has been discussed already, none of the threads seem to address the problem completely.
I am using
1. A PICAXE 18X
2. A Radio Shack Usb to serial converter 26-183
3. The download circuit from the manual (standard)
4. Windows XP
5. 4 1.2 volt rechargable batteries
When I download in this configuration I get the dreaded "memory verification error" byte XXX, etc, etc
I can NEVER get a program to download in this configuration.
HOWEVER, When I use 2 Standard AA (non-rechargable) ie a 3 volt system, I can get it to download and run 75% of the time. after retrying the download a couple of times I can always get it to work.
Recaping 4.8 Volts never works for download, 3.0 volts almost always works for downloading.
Suggestions?
