You helped immensely

I'm having a little filling all 8 slots with different effects.  With the Project dialog box open in the SpinAsm software do I use the corresponding Prog box that will be used when flashing the EEPROM.  For example, if I want a reverb in prog 4 of the eeprom do I load the reverb into prom 4 of the project dialog box and then build the hex file?  Am I supposed to clear the other programs in the project dialog box out?  Or do I load each prog of the dialog box with the effect that I want, then create the hex file and flash them one at a time in the Pickit software?

I have been unplugging the pickit each time I flash a new program into a new slot.  I trying to make this clear but am not sure if it will be...  Right now I have all 8 slots filled but am getting the same effect on multiple selections of the rotary switch (Prog 0 and 1 are the same, Prog 2 and 3 are the same, Prog 4 and 5 are the same, and Prog 6 and 7 are the same)

Thank you for being patient with me and helping with my extremely novice skills!

When you create a hex file, load the 8 effects you would like to have, in the appropriate order, in SpinASM. if you leave some blank these programs will be empty.

good job! 

did you select the correct device in the pickit2 software (eeprom / 24lc32a) ? (in the device family menu)

it looks like a hex was created, if you did not change the default working directories they will be under program files/spin .. something
check in the directories menu where the hex file is setup to be saved (check attached pic)

Hey there :-)


You can't program the eeprom directly from SpinASM. That feature only works with the actual Spin development kit.
What you need to do is use SpinASM to create a HEX file


Then use the Pickit2 software to load that hex file and flash it to the eeprom


If you check the thread for the the molecular group buy you will find a document that briefly explains these steps


Let us know how it goes ;-)

It's red :-)

  
That thing is awesome (not that I had any doubts)

:-)

Thanks for all the replies everyone, some really helpful stuff in here.

Best way is probably microcontroller but that involves either having the PICKit to flash the code to it and writing the code - there's a brilliant relay bypass article written by a Bean user over here that is comprehensive and an awesome read: http://www.coda-effects.com/2016/04/relay-bypass-conception-and-relay.html and you could probably get good at coding and have fun with other options - bypass for pressing but hold does something different like engages feedback or swells or something - but if you're like me coding is a mystery. Transistor and CMOS based may be simpler but can be a bit bulkier depending on the layout.

As a lover of Arduinos and Raspberry pi, this article is amazing. I think I'll try this one.

I second that, I had not done any C programming before looking at that tuto and it really helped me understand basic aspects that I could use in a concrete application. Once you start, you realize how microchips are nifty at easily solve quite a few problems :-)

nice demo, really like the moon cycle dials :-)

Just read what you guys are going through, Paul. I am really sorry. It's awful to see your little one suffer.
Good to hear that your kid is doing a bit better, even if still in a lot of pain.
I hope he will soon be fine. I wish you and your family all the strength and courage!

particularly love the second one with the dog in the wind ;-)

Damn,
I would have been 10 years at my job this September but just resigned ... had I known ...
