RE: New CDI - opensource project JMJ and Bigboat
The RCD programmer can't handle the voltage you need to program.
Thats not the problem of the programmer, but the condition of the com-port from your computer.
New computers don't have anymore the voltage of the old computers.
Use the batterie supply (4x 1.5V) of your CDI (pcb) to programm the pic.
Thats why we make the *in circuit programming* pcb.
You only need the dataleads of the RCD-programmer.
