I want to program the formula buggy with Sourceboost (boostc) v7.01.
I set my linker option to -rb 0x800 and target to PIC18F4455.
This is my simple code :
#include <system.h>
void main()
{
trisd=0x00;portd=0;
while(1) portd=portd+1;
}
Compilation and linking in sourceboost works good.
Then i use buggyprog.exe to send the hex-file to my buggy. The sending starts, but at the end it says : "send Failed".

What am i doing wrong?

Hello Sofie,

Can you attach the hex file to a post so i can try send it to a buggy myself.

Hello David, the attachment with the hexcode is uploaded in my first post

Hello,

Please see this ECIO FAQ topic, the ECIO USB Driver power management workaround at the bottom should also work for the Formula Flowcode.

I have also tested your hex file here and it is working ok.

Hello Ben,

I use the buggy to program the hex in the PIC18f4455. The hardware that is detected in my device manager is "Formula Flowcode Buggy" and not the ECIO module (I do not have this module).
When i use the "BuggyProg.exe" my buggy is recognized, but there is a error when i send my hex-file (sending flowcode hex-files works good).

Regards,

Sofie

Hi Sofie,

The ECIO and Formula Flowcode buggy have very similar firmware that works in the same way, so if you try the above method but simply replace 'ECIO' with Formula Flowcode, it might help your problem.

Hi David,

I tried all the same as described for the ECIO device (including "the device manager and goto the power management tab -> untick the box that allows Windows to power down the device and click OK.") . It only works when i am sending een hex-file that is programmed with flowcode. So it doesn't work with my hex-file created in Sourceboost.
