Hi,
Many props to radioman and everyone else for making this possible.
I attempted to upgrade my tl866CS using the old 2.2 updater without reading the later pages
. When i ran the minipro software it tells me that i have a pirate device and can no longer program anything as it only will see an id of 0x 02 00 55 even when nothing is in the socket.
Looks like i may have botched it.
I've built the LPT ICSP programmer and attempted to flash a hex file created by the 2.4 firmware updater but it does not seem to program. I've checked all the solder connections are OK and that the settings mentioned in the pdf for picPGM are good but i seem to have managed to proper brick it.
Does anyone know anything i can try to get it back on it's feet?
I don't really want to have to buy another one if i can help it especially with the hostility the developer has.
