Hi Don,

Apparently my flash is not being rewritten.
The same program stays in there.
Turning off the power or pressing the reset
button makes no difference.

I disabled the RTC with Register.TIMSK2 = 0

Does this have anything to do with it?
How do I turn it back on or is this done
on power up?
I have the 1280n

Did the problem begin after the first time you downloaded a program with that line in it? I don't believe that disabling the RTC would cause a problem but it might.

Select "Serial Port Options" from the Options menu. In the resulting dialog, make sure the checkboxes "Display Progress Indication" and "Verify after downloading" are checked. Then compile your program (F7) and download it (F5). What do you see?

It downloads with no errors and the USB LED's blink on the 1280n.

That part is obviously working.

I don't recall when it first started as I made minor changes
in a for next delay routine and monitored the output
on a pin 14 with the scope.

I'd like to take a look at it. We should be able to recuperate it and, if not, we'll replace it. Please send it to the address on the Contact Us page (accessible from the left-side menu on the main ZBasic.net page.

OK Don will do.

Is there a way to turn the RTC back on?
If that works I won't need to send it back.

Only by downloading a program to it. It may just be coincidental that you turned it off and then began to have problems. I'll run a test here to see if I can reproduce the problem. Meanwhile, sending it back is the fastest way to resolve the issue.
