Does any of you know if the chip can be programmed via the ICSP connection directly on the RUN-DMD board? Having taken my 3x clocks/frames apart 2x times for updating firmware is a pain. Was thinking of connecting a cable and leaving it there. When a new version comes out untuck it, flash it, tuck the calbe back in, then I'm done.
Quoted from docquest:if you look at the FAQ page you'ss sell that you can if you have a rev A through F board:
Thank you docquest. I thought I looked there but didn't see it. Next time I upgrade I'm adding a cable to each of them. Hopefully that will be the last time they have to come apart.
Any status on the EXP3? I have all the parts to build 5 more clocks (minus the Run-dmd) but am waiting for EXP3 since I will want my frames to have the right holes in the right places.
Quoted from j_m_:- move the position of the run-dmd pc board (one more time) to eliminate the need for the low profile ribbon cable connector
- open up the access hole over the run-dmd pc board (making it easier to either connect to the ICSP or remove the pic chip) for firmware updates
- add additional mounting holes to support the addition of the EXP ONE board
Exactly the 3 things I was going to do. I never want to take one of these apart again. I'm installing a ICSP cable permanently in all of my clocks going forward since it's a pain to update. Simply untuck the installed cable, update, retuck cable. Hopefully the mounting holes on the EXP THREE are in the same place as the Run-Dmd holes. My plan was for the Run-dmd board to put a much bigger hole just left of the center if looking at it from the back and the holes for the EXP THREE just right of the center. I don't care if I can access the menu buttons while it's on the wall since there's a remote and I generally don't' change settings after installing it. I'll send you a cutout template I was planning on using if you are interested.
