Re: MCP266 Accident

My tracking information says that it made it to San Bernardino yesterday so it should be with you shortly. The motor controller that I first mentioned was being used with 2x 12V batteries and was set up to run in bridged mode powering a motor with a claimed stall current of 112A. We had installed ou...

Re: MCP266 Accident

I have posted this off to you from UK today. I've included a second MCP266 that failed on a different project (not sure what happened to that one but it doesn't seem to want to power up. It does have some FET damage though). I have included further information regarding both controllers on a note in...

Re: Issue with Firmware

Thanks for the response. I have actually been using Motion Studio, but wrote the post on a different PC and got the program name wrong. However I have now tried reinstalling Motion Studio and attempting the firmware update which now has been successful.

Issue with Firmware

I've recently started trying to use a new MCP266 and have run into a problem with firmware updates. I powered it for the first time and managed to connect and it asked for a firmware update. I started this and it seemed to complete (at least the green bar got to the end) but it stayed in bootloader ...
