After receiving the kit and reading the ‘Getting Started’ guide a few dozen times I followed these steps below:
I have soldered the 2x5 header to the jtag position on the Micromod carrier board
Installed the STM32 processor
Tested my connections about 10 times
Connected the board to power via a USB C cable
Connected the mikroProg via the jtag connector
I get the indicator light on the mikroProg that I have USB connection. I see the USB connection on the computer. But I never see the ‘Active’ light or ‘Data’ light.
I have not been able to get either MikroProg Suite or Codegrip to recognize the microprocessor. I believe I’ve double checked that I have the ST link drivers but maybe missing something.
I’m feeling a bit over my head, any help is appreciated.
YellowDog:
Where did you put the header? From the pin 1 designator it looks like the header should be on the bottom of the board rather than the top.
I found the header configuration confusing based on the pinout vs the photos. I have a male header and a female header. It appears if I had used the female header then I would have ended up wiht a configuration as described on the website. However I used the male header and I am connecting from the top. Still, I’m follow pin 1 on the header to pin 1 on the AVR connector that came wiht the MikroProg. I’ve been making the assumption that was OK.
So perhaps I need remove the header and either install it from the bottom or just use the female header. I was hoping to avoid getting the heat after the board again.
Actually it looks like it is supposed to be on the top of the board with pin 1 being by the button. I originally looked at the photos on a phone and didn’t see the markings clearly.
