[QUESTION]PC SHUTS OFF while creating mix

Post by MojoMaestro »

i know that if my PC shuts off has i'm writing with eePe a Version of Er9x (i.e. : r666) in my 9x, then it's bad luck anf my Tx is Kaput!
i understand cuz i'm formating.

But what happens if i'm just creating for example
or doing any other operation while still in eePe ?

i beleive not much
or !@#*^^▄▄█▀▀ █▬█ █ ▀█▀ !! oh NO! Disaster :?:

Eepe is just a program that runs in the computer. If you are editing mixes, simulating or whatever and the power fails. It would be the same as though you were writing a paper in a text editor. Anything you have changed will be lost. If you happened to be programming the 9x when this happens, most likely the programming will be incomplete, and all you have to do is start over programming when the power is back on, and hopefully going to stay that way. The only gray area would be if you happened to be programming the fuses. I would suggest not programming the fuses during thunderstorms.

OK i got it, but i might sound ignorant, what do U mean by fuses in the 9x ?
So i checked Fuses?, the fuses are a protection mechanism in the processor ....
Ok i just need a few examples of fuse programming in common operation on the 9x.

Why, cuz when i'm tired and i bring in my room this very laptop i'm writing on right now & that i don't place not perfectly my laptop on top of my dead laptop (other old broken laptop) it starts to heat up, then crashes & shuts off.it can happen if i'm tired, or if i move the laptop by accident.

The configuration bits that tell the AVR things like what to use as a clock source.

But it would be a LOT of bad luck if a problem happened right during the millisecond or so it must take to program those.
Any other failure during flashing would only leave the TX with a corrupted firmware/eeprom and simply require you to reflash it.

So i see there is very few chances of catastrophe,
there's a very easy way to correct more possible issues,
if ever it would happen.
