I was in paradise when I received my Warp3 PIC programmer. I had so much fun making LCD display to repeat my name millions of times and such for about a month. Then, without a warning, Warp3 refused to talk to the PC yesterday. I couldn't even get it to read the devices I was using. I used C84 as well as C74, but all to no avail... So I wept my self to sleep. Knowing that the paradise is lost even for few days while Warp3 is shipped for repairs, I tried using it this afternoon before I pack it. And lo and behold, the thing is working with the original Warp3 software! It also works with Warp3.2 beta10! Alas, it still doesn't work as it used to with Warp3.2 beta3. So, my comrades, have you experienced anything strange as such? In case you are wondering, I did power cycle the entire system, including the PC, Warp3, stereo, and the cell phone last night. But that didn't help my troubles. And it's even more strange that it's working so well today from such seemingly unrecoverable error. Any comments and tips on Warp3 is welcome. PS: For anyone with Warp3 PIC programmer in Win3.x, try setting the exclusive execution mode in your PIF file. It made a dramatic difference, from working about 50% of the time without comm errors to working over 99% of the time without errors. Of course, this is in addition to setting the background and foreground tasks as specified in the HTML document (manual). Anyone know how to do this in Win95?
