Some openLog issues + reflashing info
Posted: Sun Apr 18, 2010 10:20 am
Hi to all, first post here
Ok, so I got 2 openLog and after 4 days being on and off over the project I was able to link it to my PIC (16F688 with H/W uart) but without many result, in part due to my inexperience in UART/stream/parsing topics (I was getting errors in the communication, commands not recognized and so on).
Today I found in a drawer a precious MAX232 (!), 4 capacitor later I fired up Putty and got a prompt. I immediately get "12>" and after typing ?+return I get the list of available commands. It's missing SIZE and a few others from the github command list.
I think this unit is very old, could be firmware 1.0, but it isn't appearing anywhere in the stream (I bought it 4 weeks ago, but from a local reseller).
I was looking for flashing it with the latest firnware version, apart from the method in the github documentation (well, I have only 2 openlog boards and a MAX232), are there any other ways to upload the firmware to the unit? I wasn't able to find more info
Thanks!
