24 Aug 2014

Just finished a very frustrating day trying to download TI software.

 

It probably did not help that I am suffering from a nasty sinus headache, but I tried to just follow the directions.

Problem, it seems that you need a special App to load the updated CCS software.  Now at no point does the download sequence identify this app, but windows 7 and 8.1 both had no clue and I hate guessing games, so I just put it away and went on with other things I could do.

 

I did manage to upgrade CCS 5.5, but I have not yet confirmed that it is usable with the CC3200.

 

A note to TI, 6 point type is NEVER acceptable for a document.  I swear I am going to find the person that approved this and beat them with a stick. image

 

Next step is to wait for my head to clear, but as some of you who have allergies know, that could take a number of weeks.

So I will try to go back and read the start up guide and see if I can glean the proper sequence.

 

Good news is that I am finally able to clear up my workspace so that I can prototype my circuits for testing.

 

Step by step, but this project is clearly going to take more time than I had thought.

    Cut the hand they write with off.

    That guarantees they change their style ....image

     

    Good luck with your battling the season v health.

     

    I'm sure Peter can assist you wherever he can.

    If I use the chainsaw then they will not learn.

    A good beating is only temporary and I still have the chainsaw as an escalation factor.image

    You don't know the half of it.

    At this time of the year I feel like my head is underwater all of the time and I have the attention span of a gerbil.

    I was hoping that I could get the challenge done before the season set in, but it arrived late last week.

     

    I plan to keep going as best I can, but I might have to pull out of the challenge if it doesn't clear up in time. image

     

    Time will tell.
