Hey Ian, Yeah its the correct serial port. The bootloader is reacting to the reset and trying to detect it, I suspected the bootloader is broken too. Furthermore there are no LEDs visible with the usb plugged in. Work has a bunch of PIC programmers, so i'll just borrow one of them.
Hey i'm having trouble getting my web platform to work. Under the settings dsPIC33FJ, 128GP204, 115200 I am continually getting the error: Found unknown device id(193) fw ver. 9.9.9. This occurs when running the 'check for bl' command and 'download' command, so i can't modify anything on the board. I've tried different device ids, bauds and programmers all to the same effect.
