Hmm, in one of the other IFI loader threads, this problem was caused because the COM port was incorrect. Have you checked that?

Re: IFI Loader problems

Could also be that you're exceeding the 64 character or so path limit - move it closer to the root of the drive.

Help

Our IFI Loader just died on us.
It tries to download, and successfully finds the RC. After getting to the "Erasing: Device..." stage (which it does not do because the code is still on the robot) then the thing says "Not connected..." and the download button disappears. The PROGRAM STATE LED first blinks, goes solid and stays solid.
We've tried changing the COM ports, cables, rebooting the computer, turning the robot on and off. Everything short of reinstalling the software.
If you've heard of this and have a solution, anything please help!

Re: Help

*coughlinuxcough*.... anyway did you check the pins on the cable/port, have you tried a different computer. System specs/type of com ports (usb or built in) ext

The code was something like:

Code:

default_routine()

{

    .....

    if (something)

    {

         Put_Data();

         return;

    }

    .....

    Put_Data();

}

Re: Help

That doesnt make any sense... I have used Put_Data() out of its intended spot with no problem... Though it wasnt inside that function. Anyway the controler doenst debug code while downloading... It could have been an error with the origional compile though, or a corrupted hex file... Cheese_Head, did you try deleating the hex file and any ".o" files and recompiling it?

Re: IFI Loader problems

I've had desktop machines where the IFI_Loader installed just fine, if installed via Administrator or PowerUser.

On the laptop, it required the Administrator to install it, but won't run under PowerUser. Then the Program Files shows up only under the Administrator's start menu. What gives?

This is all under Win2K, not XP(uke).

IFI should release the source code to this baby, so people can make it better in the spirit of open source.

Re: IFI Loader problems

As for the start menu thing, make sure it is under all user's. And I agree with the source code thing. It's written in VB6, And I'm sure many people would like to add functionallity to it.
