Today I finally found some time to work on my Vinculum 1 Component, and I made very good progress.
However, ad about 18:50 suddenly my EB006 / Flowcode stopped working as I was trying to program my PIC16F877A.
Also A strange message from windows popud up saying "USB Power exceeded" I thought by myself what the H*@ll is going on.
I quickly disconnected everything and immediately started to pook around with my finger for any abnormal heat generation, but I couldn't find any.
Also I don't power my Programmer via USB I have always used the PSU that came with it.
I couldn't find any issues so I plugged back the USB cable and no more message from windows, so I had no clue what the problem was and continued with programming.
When I was about the flash my PIC16F877A the following message pops up:
So there must be a fault with the EB006 because this was the only device connected to the PC via USB Cable. But what went wrong.
I have used this device when I first got Flowcode v4 back in 2011 I think. and never had a problem with it. To be honest its a tiny bit dusty but that wont kill the thing.
But my PIC16F877A is just working fine, and I get the correct voltage from the regulator and both the green and orange led are on.
Also when I try to program the PIC the orange led does not flicker.
My guess is that the IC that is responsible for the communication and programming is toasted, at least I think.
I hope the MM team or forum members can help me find a possible fix, although I think it cannot be fixed
