<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Thoroughly enjoy the meeting and new Venue was fine.<br><br></div>Now the technical bit:-<br><br></div>The use of the USB to get hex files loaded into a Pic is a major advance !<br>
<br></div>However having proved my Programmer worked OK and the bootloader settles into my 16F1455, I missed out on some other vital details.<br><br></div>I thought I'd use a 64 bit PC running Ubuntu 13.4 Linux as the main computer for down loading hex files into the 16F1455.<br>
<br></div>The file I'm trying to get work is 'boot_linux.x_64' : Now here comes a string of questions:-<br><br></div>The suggestion is to start with:- boot -v myproject.hex<br><br></div>1_ is best in a folder called 'bin' ? in the root directory ? or in the 'home' directory ?<br>
<br></div>2_ does 'boot_linux.x_64' need renaming 'boot' for ease of use ?<br><br></div>3_ using bash with sudo invoked , is it best to be in the 'bin' folder ?<br><br></div>4_ does its properties need changing for it to execute ? If so what is the command and syntax ? <br>
<br>( I'm used to getting shell scripts working and excecuting, but am a blank slate on getting this working) (Maybe there is a paragraph of instructions I've missed somewhere)<br><br></div>So far I've not met with 'boot' waking up when invoked just error messages... giving me the feeling I've missed something 'noddy' along the way.<br>
<br></div>Any thoughts very welcomw !<br><br>: )))<br><br></div>Tim_1<br> <br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 1 November 2013 12:00, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:hackspace-request@swansea.hackspace.org.uk" target="_blank">hackspace-request@swansea.hackspace.org.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

7pm Monday 4th November 2013<br>
Volcano Theatre, 229 High Street, Swansea.<br>
<br>
A hands on workshop teaching the basics of using small, cheap computing<br>
devices to build circuits that can automate and interact with the<br>
physical world. This session will be covering the Getting Started<br>
(buttons and lights) and Communications (serial ports) tutorials.<br>
<br>
Participants will need to bring their Starter Kit and a suitable laptop,<br>
it would be advisable to download and install the software in advance<br>
(links on the website). I have a few loan kits for anyone that doesn't<br>
already have a Starter Kit.<br>
<br>
Thanks to Volcano Swansea for the generous use of their meeting space<br>
for this event.<br>
