I have v3.3 new board vith some problems:
the board don't work: no communication with pc, no lcd characters(just 2 lines on lcd).
In BrayTerm i have <0> and the board don't respond to any command.
- Common mistake is forgetting to capitalize Man, wrong com serial port selected or some other program open that is using that serial port (MegaTune, AVR studio4 etc.)
After that i try to update the firmware .i update with psituner and afterthat with perl (perl bin/prog.pl vems.hex :COMn Etwf) 3 diferent files of vems.hex and NOTHING. WHat is my Problem Now? The boot need to be updated?(it is posible to lose some information when i connect and disconnect rapidly the board Please help
- I am definatly lower on the I.Q. rating than most people here and I have had my share of problems that I cant figure out so in my experience, if you give a very detailed list of the steps you are taking, ie.
- opened terminal program, set baud rate to 9600
- typed Man
- typed Manmcbffmcb, changed to 19200baud etc etc
- also, if you havent found it yet, see [this page] for help with uploading firware. I am not computer smart and I easily figured it out with the help of that page.
- I update 1.0.18 firmware and nothing ;the board respond only in boot mode
- you might need to edit the .bat file and remove the "t" option (from Etw or Et) if already (stuck) in bootloader (an earlier unsuccessful upgrade attempt?)
- I recommend complete package with more recent firmware, see bat files for megaloader syntax, you need to remove "t" from the syntax, as you already have it in bootloader in advance. http://media.vems.se/code/VemsMT1.0.36.zip for example
After i upload 1.0.36 file vems.hex with perl command(perl bin/prog.pl vems.hex w) in command window i have:

'''A: I think its more reasonable that you have a bad serialport/cable, USB adapter? //Emil Larsson
