info on programming teh SKRM module with a pickit.

Post by bradholland »

Hey Guys,
Am not able to get my head around programming the SKRM modules...

I have a pickitII programmer and have followed the guide that was laid out in the etapper pdf.

I have picKITII connected like this

PICKITII SKRM(eeprom)
PGC SCLK
PGD SDAT

and ground

I have the module powered and set to program 1 but am unable to read or write anything.

I'm unsure as to teh whole process, I have exported a project from SpinASM which has my 8 programs exported into a hex file, this is what Im loading into PICKITII software and trying to write, but as I said, I'm not even able to read the contents of the fv-1 eeprom at the moment.

Any help/advice would be much appreciated. I've been messing around with it all night :(

thanks
frank

Focus on reading for now, check the voltages and that you have the wiring correct. If you have a scope look at the clock and data lines when you try to read.

It looks like you're using the wrong pins on the Pickit. It should be PGC (pin 5 on the pickit) to SCLK and Aux (pin 6 on the Pickit) to SDAT.
