Get a PIC programmer
Note the revision of the hardware, because it determines which programming adapter you need, and which software type we use
Make a programming adapter
- On the computer that you use for configuring the BMS controller (must have internet access):
Install the PICkit II programmer software from the disk or from the MicroChip site
Install the TeamViewer remote access software that we sent you or from the TeamViewer site ("For the instant customer: TeamViewer QuickSupport")
- Get ready to reprogram the BMS controller
- Connect the PICkit II programmer to a USB port on the computer
- (Do not go through a hub: we have seen cases where a hub results in a failure to program)
- Connect the PICkit II programmer to the BMS controller's PGM port, using the programming adapter
- No need to power the BMS controller (but if it's powered, that's OK)
- Run the PICkit II programmer software
- Check that it says "Device: PIC18F4680"
- Connect the PICkit II programmer to a USB port on the computer
Get ready to have us do the reprogramming
