PICStep Firmware V1.0
Submitted by alan on Thu, 04/11/2004 - 00:00
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.
