[Flashforth-devel] ff on the microstick 2 / microstick plus development board

[<fla...@li...>]

I recently got my microstick 2 and microstick plus boards in the mail
and I'm trying to load flashforth on it.

I'm attempting to use the dsPIC33FJ128MC802 that came with the kit.

Is there some configuration in the code that I need to do to be able
to use the USB serial adapter that is on the microstick plus board?  I
loaded the code and connected to the microstick plus, but did not see
the console.

Thanks,

You need to configure the UART pins in config file p33_config.inc.
.equ RPINR18VAL, 11     ; U1RXPIN RP43 PB11 pin22 microstick2
.equ U1TXPIN, 10        ; PB10 pin21 microstick2

If you use HW flow control you need the separate the CTS RTS pins on 
the MCP2200
and connect RB12 to the CTS pin13 on the MCP2200.
And define the RTS pin in the FF config file.
.equ U1RTSPIN, 12       ; Solder to MCP2200 CTS pin13 on microstickplus 
if HW flow control

Attached is the config file I just tried with my dsPIC33FJ128MC802.

When you soldered pin 13 (CTS) on the MCP2200 to RB12, did you leave
pin 10 (RTS) connected?

Our problems are mostly behind us, now all we have to do is fight the solutions.

I leave PIN 11 (RTS !) disconnected.
