Got it working!

Had to use a different program. Sounds great now. Kind of ridiculous how much you can do with this thing.

Okay, i have the molecular compactor built and ready to go. But I can't seem to successfully get any code into it. I'm using MPLAB IPE to try and get the hex files onto the chips but nothing happens. I select the hex file, but the pickit2 doesn't seem to do anything, although the software says "Hex file loaded successfully." However, it says that even if I run the software without the pickit2 even plugged in. Could someone here please help? I must be doing something wrong.

Thanks!

Yeah the download link works, but the program gives and error when you try to run it. Oh well. I'm currently trying to get Windows running on my Mac. Think I got it. Still gonna be a while till I get the pedal built. So just trying to get everything else worked out before then.

Thanks for the help!

Damn, okay. I'll see about installing Windows on my mac.

I've been messing with SpinCad, using the simulator to hear the patches I come up with. Not too bad, but certainly limited. Thank you all for the help.

Ah, so I can take the code and put it into to any hex converter to make a hex file? I thought I needed spinAsm. Sorry, i know nothing about this stuff right now. Just trying to figure it all out.

Thanks! Do you know what program can I use to convert code to HEX on a mac? I need a mac alternative to SpinASM!

Hey thanks for your response!

I haven't done anything yet. Just build most of the PCB. So I can use the MPLAB-X in stead of the Pickit2 program?

I was going to make patches with SpinCad, since it seems SpinASM does not work on Mac either.

Hi all, I'm gearing up to get my Molecular Compactor up and running. Just waiting on the Pickit2 and FV-1 to arrive in the mail. Seems the Pickit2 software is not compatible with Mac, only PC. And I can't seem to find any other software out there. Anyone here programing their chips on a mac? If so, how?

Thanks!

Nice build! I made one over a year ago. It sounds better than a lot of my amp spring reverbs!

I built my controls into a 125B. I used a 4PDT stomp to toggle between two different MIX pots (MIX 1, MIX 2) and a bi-color LED.

Think I might build their trem pedal as well!

Hey, what is that 1590A relay bypass board?

Thanks! Exactly what I needed to know!

Thanks! Do you recommend any specific software as well? Sorry, new to all this programming stuff.

What do you guys recommend for programming the chip? Some piece of hardware to connect to the computer, I imagine.

Not sure why the thin twin posted twice.

50's Silvertone Thin Twin
50's Supro Super
50's Kay bass. Not sure of the model.
