Spurg i have used this code in a homade dashlight used when im responding to calls. I have never seen any glitch with it but what im thinking and i may be wrong is that the due to the x buttons location on the controller a connection could be touching the right thumbsticks casing. i had that happen with a regular ABXY light up before.

sorry to say laxboy.. but with my install no connections are touching the anolog houseing ....... the connections at the led end are inside the button under glue...... and connections on the chip are about 15mm from the anolog housing.... so dont think its that end and theres no exposed wire near it so nope to that aswelll. defently not a short........ i'll take a picture of the install next time its open..... or evan better when i get time i may throw together a tut on install this code and wiring it to lit buttons.......

Very very odd. Let me know if it happends again, And try to find the cause.. Like which actions you did before it did it.

Peace

um whne i first noticed it. i just turned my pad on. it was alrady set to all lights on mode. but no X ????

but hey its working fine now.........so it dont matter.....

writing the code to pics is easy all you need to do is get a programmer. most come with sofware.... follow the instructions open up the code you want to program to the chip and click program

i got 1 from ebay. mine isa cheap usb but it does the job for now.

if you wana make your own programmer, there is a bit in the burn me up code thread on how to do it....

t0pP8uZz · « **Reply #67 on:** December 22, 2009, 04:02:16 PM »

Yes, Just buy a device programmer that supports the PIC12F683. 99% of pic programmers support this PIC, and its what we use around here for most of the mods.

If you want something with a massive device support list. Then buy what i have, Which is a Asix Presto, It has ICSP etc. Very nice programmer, but your also need to order the ZIF adapter for it too.. I dont recommend for a first programmer. But if you buy one i could help you set it up.. Ill send pics how to wire it up if needed.

If you want something simple. Depending what you want.. USB or Serial.. I prefer USB since serial is getting sold out now. But a very very very popular programmer is "pickit" if your from the UK you can find them in maplin. http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=37172&C=Froogle&U=37172&T=Module

This is one of the most widely used programmers. And it isnt just a programmer. the board can be used for testing code if you wana get into programming etc. dont let the bare interface scare you.. You simply install the software that will come with the product.. Insert your blank PIC12F683, Download any code on this site including this led chaser save it to your hard drive, Then open it with the software that came with the product.. Simply click "Program" wait a few seconds and it will be programmed! Then just follow the schematics to wire it up.

Very simple!

Peace

ok thanks guys, cant afford that programer lol, looking for a cheaper one as i wont have much money for a while.

what about this one ?

im thinking it will look good in a clear case..

thanks for your time to post this mod .

Would this for the Rol on the controller? I'm guessing if the controller was a matrix i would need some 1n4148 diodes?

t0pP8uZz · « **Reply #73 on:** January 16, 2010, 06:37:29 PM »

Its main purpose was originally for the ABXY buttons, But yeah sure it would work with ROL. matrix.. yes best to use diodes and make sure you use suitable resistors.

spurgurgle · « **Reply #74 on:** January 16, 2010, 07:05:36 PM »

umm im not sure if it will work on a matrix pad as your code control's the + side of a led.... and if you follow the traces in this picture of the matrix ROL the +'s are common

but it would defently work on a cg pad... you could evan piggy back 2nd leds onto the - contacts of the CG ROL and have them seperate from your player and rapid fire indication lights.......

t0pP8uZz · « **Reply #75 on:** January 17, 2010, 05:05:32 AM »

Damn im thinking about t0pFire, I could update the code so it can detect which pad its connected too and adjust things accordingly. I think that will be the next update.

Hi, everyone. I just installed the LED flasher 00.3 into a Matrix controller and I can't use all the modes. When the chip is off I click really quick and only once the sync button and that brings me directly in fast chase mode. It skips the all on and slow chase modes.

I used the switched 2V source in the matrix controller to power 4 red leds (which works without resistor at 2V). I was wondering maybe it is because the chip does not have a sufficient voltage to operate but I doubt it as in the datasheet this PIC can work at 2V. It strange because I tested the chip with a 2.5V source on a breadboard and everything was working great...

Help me please!

t0pP8uZz · « **Reply #77 on:** February 28, 2010, 06:12:57 PM »

Try connecting a 10k resistor to the same pin the sync button connects to, then connect it to pin 1 of the PIC.

So it bridges both pins, This will act as a pull-up resistors.. incase the internals arent doing there job correctly :-)

Thanks for the quick reply but that doesn't seem to work... I get the same result with the 10K resistor bridging pins 1 and 2... I saw in this topic someone used a 20 ohm pull-up resistor but with an earlier version of the Led flasher. Should I try it with a 20ohm on revision 00.3?

crazy-modder · « **Reply #79 on:** February 28, 2010, 06:51:39 PM »

Try to install it on a cg instead, ive done it on 3 cgs and works awesome on all of them.

t0pP8uZz · « **Reply #80 on:** February 28, 2010, 07:40:24 PM »

As i mentioned before i dont have any matrix controllers at the minute, Friend gave me a controlelr earlyier lets just hope its a matrix, i think it is. (i do have like 10 CG/CG2 controllers lol)

Erm you could try that, Please make sure your wiring your LED's properly.

Im pretty sure i know what it is though.

The pin that connects to the SYNC button. Remove it from the SYNC button, and connect it to a button/tactile that you might have. then connect the other side of the button to GROUND/GND on the controller. that should work, untill i fix this small bug

psyko_chewbacca · « **Reply #81 on:** February 28, 2010, 07:48:26 PM »

Thanks for the help. The 22ohm resistor did not solve anything, in fact the chip wasn't switching mode at all. I just removed the chip, I'm gonna put it in a CG controller.

I also think this is related to the sync button. I did a test on a breadboard and powered the chip with only 1.9V. I used a tactile switch and it was working perfectly.

Thanks anyway!

Hi, just a quick update... The Matrix controller I tried to install the chip in was a repaired controller. It was water damaged when my basement was flooded.

Maybe it is working as i should even if the sync as a small malfunction. I hope someone with a matrix controller will try to install this chip.

My bad I was sending him a private message suggesting him the modes, anyways here they are...

THESE ARE SUGGESTIONS

Spinner: This mode would be simple and light 2 LED's and switch to another 2 LED's. First the A and Y LED's would be lit then it would switch to the B and X LED's

Runner: This mode is supposed to just be there to look awesome. First it would start at Y then switch to B then to A then to X and then repeat all over again.

I hope you add these because they would be awesome to look at and show off to people and tournaments and late night releases.

t0p has already coded both of these modes into the .hex..... watch the videos and read some of the post's on the wall and you'll see these modes......

just wire it
led 1 = leg 7
led 2 = leg 6
led 3 = leg 5
led 4 = leg 3.. and it should spin and run like you mention but only when in the correct mode....

dont forget there is 6 different light on modes and a off mode....

Modded Matt · « **Reply #84 on:** April 29, 2010, 05:05:55 AM »

dd the modes are there as sperrg stated, they are exactly as you stated.

as for Psyco, it sounds like the chip is experiancing a buncing affect, making it skip modes in the cycle. something is wrong with you chip. also I personally would advise against using a matrix controller. the matrix controller swithced point is 2.0-2.5V the output to the leds is equal to the supply voltage, therfore your leds may be dim.

psyko_chewbacca · « **Reply #85 on:** April 29, 2010, 05:41:13 AM »

Hi, thanks for the advice matt. Back when I was experiencing with this led flasher code I tried programming two chips and got the same result from both in my matrix controller.

I used red leds in my matrix so the voltage of the matrix controller is perfect but I ended it by not using the chip at all and modded my controller the standard way by soldering the leds directly to V+. I used the chips I programmed in CG controllers instead. All the controllers I modded with leds have been working perfeclty for about a month now!

I built this one and I never had any problem with it. All the parts are available at Digikey or Mouser.

I use a desktop computer that does output real RS232 signal (+12V and -12V) on the serial port which is needed by this programmer to work properly. If you have a laptop or a USB to serial adapter you cannot use this programmer.

To program the chips I use WinPic instead of WinPic800. Both should work. I read somewhere that WinPic has a higher success rate than WinPic800.
