Slow Program Loading
Hi,

I've been working with easyC for a few months and just watched the video about programming for FRC. His unit seems to load a program in mere seconds, whereas my unit seems to take ~45 seconds. Is this a hardware issue?

Also, it seems not all variables function in my program. I have only managed to get "int" to work, anything else will cause the program to not function.

What is wrong?

Are you using a USB to Serial Adapter?

Re: Slow Program Loading
Program loading is much slower when using a USB to serial conversion cable. The conversion, evidently, introduces a bottleneck in the process. As far as your program problems go, you should try posting your code so people can try and figure it out for you.

Re: Slow Program Loading
If you have a computer with a real serial port and connect the programmer it will program much faster.

Re: Slow Program Loading
I concur - the USB Serial adaptors (we have several) always load 2-4 times slower from the laptop. When the 'real' serial port on our tower PC is used, download takes less than 10 seconds.
