I received a couple of BV513M's yesterday - thanks! Since then I've started playing with them, reading the doco's and generally considering what projects I will use them for. There are a few things that puzzle me, however. In the picture on the BV513-M page, there seem to be some discrepancies. The labelling of the jumpers seems to have changed. What is JP2 in the picture is labelled JP3by pete_l - BV513
Ahh, yeah. Thinking about it that makes perfect sense. Thanks for sorting me out with that.by pete_l - BV500

OK, I've got a few BV500s (yay!) I've nailed how to talk to them (double yay!!) I've got some code to work (whoop-de-doo) I can't figure out how to save stuff in flash (boo!)

That's interesting - thank you. My main concern was that the firmware may periodically reset the functions of the I-O pins, but it sounds like it doesn't do anything like that it should be OK. The other thing I'd have to think hard about is that if I do mess up changing the osc. source at run time, I could end up bricking the BV500. I've not used MPLAB for Pic32 devices, so I'll have to see iby pete_l - BV500
Hi, I've just stumbled across the BV500. The description says the device uses the internal 8MHz RC osc for timing. Is there a reason why I couldn't sacrifice the RA2,3 I-Os and reprogram the device to run off an external xtal instead? I've been using 8-bit PICs for several years and I'm kicking around some ideas for a new project that will require the ability to get microsecond resolution of inby pete_l - BV500
