INQUIRY RE- MLOADER FAILING TO UPLOAD CODES TO BL0080 PROGRAMMER

[y7roque58]

Hello,

I have a problem uploading codes from FLOWCODE8 (ver. 8.0.0.6) to my BL0080 microcontroller board. I am not really sure if it is going to solve my problem but below please find the procedure about communicating with a device using USB. Any help regarding my problem is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Did you install the USB driver that is found in the resources section here ..
https://www.matrixtsl.com/webshop/e-blo ... ammer.html

When you plug the board into the PC, does Windows recognize it?
Can you see it listed in "Devices and Printers"?

[y7roque58]

Hello,
Thanks for your response. Regarding your questions: yes, I did install the driver for BL0080 microcontroller board and my Dell laptop's device manager recorgnizes it accordingly. However, when I upload the code, mLoader immediately shows " no device detected." Please see attachments about this.
I have 3.0 USB in my laptop in addition, so I don't know why it is failing as described. Thanks.

I just noticed you have another forum thread on this issue.
Did you try these suggestions? ...

Hello,
You are absolutely correct about my previous inquiries about this problem. I decided to temporarily stop the inquiry because of frustration maybe. But I would like to give it another try. And I apologize for my actions. Anyway, I did almost all the suggestions except the procedure which is about Safe Mode. Also, since I have EB006 Microcontroller Board I had installed mLoader for this one and another one for BL0080 board. Could I not use both of them on the same computer? I only use them one at a time. Please advise. Thanks.
PS. I apologize to Mr. Benj for using the wrong choice of words about the Driver Easy. I decided to buy the software through my own free will and not Mr. Benj's instruction.

Hello,
I also tried to test using the Safe Mode and removing mLoader from Flowcode 7 but gave me the same problem. Any assistance you could extend me is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
