Hi all.
Yes, maybe I'd better send these questions directly to Wouter van Ooijen, but
I thought that maybe there are some "out there" that have built and uses
Wouter's Wisp628 PIC programmer.

Anyway, here is my story...

I'v built my copy of Wisp628 (from the design on the web page and
with a home made PCB made in Eagle).

It looks as it's starting up, the LED on pin-6 on the DB15 flashes
twice on power up. The "WISP PORT COM1 TERM 1200" works and
characters are returned, *but* not exactly those typed. I'v tried to
see any pattern with help from a ASCII table, such as any 7/8 bit or
par y/n errors, but couldn't.

When trying "WISP GO B84A-1", with a PICF84A on a breadboard
according to the description on Wouter's web page, it says :

c:\Program\xwisp> wisp go b84a-1
wisptool 4.07                            (1)
hardware Wisp682 1.00              (2)

<timestamp>  (00127460) fatal: comm timeout on receive : check....    (3)

(1) comes from the PC tool, right ?
(2) comes from the Wisp682 programming hardware, right ?
(3) comes aprox half a second after (2)

If I re-execute the GO command, I only get (1) and (3), it seems as the Wisp682
is stuck in some software loop. After power off/on, I get the #(2) message again.
The same thing if I execute a TERM command before the GO, it seems as it's
stuck in the TERM routine. When I execute a second TERM command, I get the
last ESC character from the last TERM command, so it seems to me at least.

I'v also tried the TALK command, and characters A-F (both lower and upper
case) are retured in upper case, but typing "G" hangs the programmer with the
LED on pin-6 on. Power cycling get's it going again.

Well, that's it !

The PC hardware is OK. I used the same COM port to program the F682
for the Wisp682 using the PIC card from Elektor as published earlier this
year. Built for the F84A, but the F682 programmed and verifyed just OK
using IC-prog version 1.04C.
