Hi All wonder if any of you have had a simlar experience with Revolution education as I have got nowhere with with Revolution education in solving my previous problem.
About a year ago we received properly identified picaxe 14-m2 chips we had 10 in stock During a training session we hold for hobbyists none of the 14m2 would program after going through stock and having built a chip tester we found none of the chips worked (all 10 of them) they also acted differently by pinging the serial bus very rapidly. after getting nowhere with Clive at revolution education who insisted there was no way the chips could have got through the quality checks we threw them in the bin and took the loss. Everything was ok again until this last order we ordered amongst other picaxe chips some 08m2 chip's. they came in with the native chip engraving on them 12F508, I tested them all and some did have the picaxe program in them but not all of them did so this is another 7 chips that seem to have the original pic 12F508 firmware.
Is anyone else having this problem?
