PICStep Firmware V1.0

PICStep V1.0 firmware has been released! (Yippie!)

It now is fully functional on a PIC16F628A and includes some nice new tasty features!

New features include :-

  • Automatic motor shutdown after around 6 minutes of inactivity (saves your motors from burning when your job is finished)
  • Watchdog timer automatic reset (the controller will now automatically reset itself after 18ms if the PIC crashes)
  • More optimized table look ups and interrupt handling (hopefully should yeild more RPM!)
  • Works on a PIC16F628A (didn't before because of some stupid error on my part!)

So if you're interested in building a PICStep make sure your use the V1.0 firmware. I'll be posting the PICs to customers who've ordered them with V1.0 firmware today.
