Thanks, AllVol,
it certainly does help. I just checked my disk again, and there are only 4 pdf files on it. I think they screwed up on this one. (No big deal, though.) I can, on occasion, connect with the ETT website, but it loads very slowly. I wonder if they have the samples there for download.
I thought, reading another post by you, that you had this board, but didn't comment then.
I'm not sure about this one, but think that the reason you need to re-boot your board is because it uses the PLL. This is true on the 18Fxx PICs too.
Yes, it took me a while to figure out that winPic800 could be used in English. I was able to connect, but didn't have a program to download to the board at that time. I just assumed it would work if I could connect. I'll try downloading to see if it does work. On your advice, I downloaded the EPIC beta programming software. I'll try that too, but I see you have to pay, if you want the full featured program. I'm still planning on trying this with the OLimex board, though, as I would rather use ICD2.
They say that if you can flash an LED, you can control the world, so you are well on your way. <grin>
I'm still wondering were your 'handle' comes from. If I remember, it is from a children's story, but there it was spelled 'AlVol."
Thanks again,
Robert
OH! I just re-read; you have the '458 board. No matter, the boards from ETT are all the same. Futurlec has some good prices, and some which are not good. For example, I bought 50 NTC thermistors from them at the /25 discount for $.30 each. When I finally found the same thing here in Korea, I paid $.06 each in quantities of 1. (Futurlec is $.35/1!)
