HELP! MiniPOV3 not working

[adafruit]

did you follow the instructions for downloading the firmware? are you in the directory with the files? use "ls" to see the files in Terminal

[tardis fan]

How do I know if I am in the right directory?

[tardis fan]

When I type "ls" it says

Desktop Incomplete Music Shared
Documents Library Pictures Sites
Downloads Movies Public WavCodec.wff

[adafruit]

where did you download and uncompress the firmware?

[tardis fan]

It went to the downloads folder.

[adafruit]

you want to go to that directory, see this tutorial

which describes the Terminal

[tardis fan]

YES!!!!!!!!! I got it to work! Thank you all for your help. I'm looking forward to using the slm!

[tardis fan]

One small problem. When I open up the SLM firmware, there is no slm.hex like the magazine said. Just Makefile, and slm.c

[adafruit]

type in "make" that should make the .hex

great to hear its working!

[tardis fan]

OK, great. It seams to be working now. Thanks!

[adafruit]

Question : are windows need PL2302 driver update? and i still use serial port, but the respone are still not responding. Even i've try to burn fuse it since i'm not use the kit version. what must i do? please help... Thx

[adafruit]

it should work, but we dont support DIY versions so you're kind of on your own

[FehnrirX]

Umm.. well then, maybe it's not related but, is it still need a kind of avr downloader to send the hex files to my minipov? since my friend told me that this device need it. And yet, i've only use serial cable from my computer directly to my minipov. thx for your attention.
