Title: Axon uploads program, does nothing
Post by: thesa1nt01 on July 04, 2009, 02:32:48 PM
So I'm just getting started with my Axon and I'm having intermittent symptoms, least often of all is that the program actually runs.

First I want to point out that during all of this:

I am experiencing issues ranging from the program uploading but not verifying, verifying but not working, not uploading but still seeming to run the program. This has happened with my program, axon_ser.hex , axon_tst.hex

I get nothing from hyperterminal


Sometimes the program seems to run fine for a short period, sometimes not at all.

Any ideas?

Ok, so immediately after writing this post I realized what I did wrong. By placing the power resistors in-line with ground bus that went to the Axon I created a floating ground which was messing up the 5v logic.

After I put the resistors in-line with the Vcc everything worked flawlessly!

I guess this should really be in the electronics section.

Peace be with ye!
