Trouble putting program on POV3. Please help

Post by bovinediozzi »

I have bought and built a POV V3 kit and even after following all the directions on the site and tryed some of the POV message genorators from the other forums I still cant figure out how to get the program on the POV. If there are any tips or anything to help me get the program on that would be much appreciated.

Have you tried uploading the stock .hex files? What programmer software are you using? Where/how does it fail?

FIRST: Are you using a Minipov3 from a kit or from DIY? Make sure you mention that in your post
We are using a minipov3 from a kit
SECOND: What OS and computer are you using?
XP
THIRD: Are you using a USB adapter or a serial port?
Serial port
FOURTH: Did the minipov light up at all when you turned it on?
Yes
FIFTH: What -specifically- isn't working?
After hitting compile, its saying where to save and then goes into the BANNED promt and says make is not recognized.
SIXTH: Post screenshots (NOT copy&paste) of what is happening
Couldnt get screen shots on here
SEVENTH: Post clear, in-focus, not-blurry, easy to see photos of the top and bottom of the kit. If the photos are blurry, unfocused, and difficult to see they will only make it harder to debug what is going on
