Some simple tests to make sure the Wisp628 is minimally working...
- You should have xwisp.py installed somewhere on your machine
- You should be able to run xwisp.py without arguments and see a help screen (proves python is installed, the script is found and compiles...)
- xwisp.py test isn't implemented, but connect only the power lines (if you want to be careful, don't attach any other lines) to the Wisp628 and run xwisp.py talk, it should print out the version of Wisp628 hardware it's talking to, and then "TTY mode (ESC ESC to end)". Things that can go wrong:
- Wisp628 isn't recieving power
- Wisp628 isn't attached to the comm port xwisp.py is trying to talk to
- Set your board up with a Blink-an-LED circuit. Compile with jal, and run xwisp.py write blinkled.hex, and the LED should blink.
(on my computer, it'd be C:\progra~1\XWisp\xwisp.py write C:\Src\pic\toy_projects\led_blink\works_1\628\b628i-1.hex
