Repair Op-com Hardware Procedure?

[3axap]

Hi guys,

There were Op-com hardware repair procedure in the "old Garage" forum.
Can somebody re-upload it here.

Regards

[mk1977]

I'm also interested in the repair Opcom


THANKS

[3axap]

hope someone could reupload it

[yysnet]

The repair procedure requires a PIC programmer, normally the price programmer is nearly same as a duplicated opcom....

[vares]

Simple JDM based programmer for PIC make this job without a problem;).

[3axap]

CAn somebody send dumps and pictures for programming MCU.

regards

Can I program it with Xprog?

Or just BOBPROG?

[zuzuss]

you need pic programer..like willem,pony prog .....xprog for motorola and some eprom...

Hi! Does anybody know what the difference is between OP-COM Revision A, B, C, D? Can the new version of op-com read pin code and change millage on Opel Vectra C?
Thanks

Hi, some time ago there was a "non upgradable" firmware posted on this forum used to testing 100315e Version without risks.
Anyone have it yet?

[r6eck]

No luck yet.
At the end of programming a error message appears.
Verification failed at adress 0000h.

To be continued.


Did you resolve this problem? I have the same issue

[usbano]

Simple.. your JDM doesn't program the PIC!
Ic-prog first write and after verify the programmed code.. so, during the verify, on the first address (000000h) you get that error!

[icetin]

opcom help the bootloader hex file

[zzolzev]

I used jdm programmer and WinPic800. First i connected programmer to 5 pins on pic and got an error when i tried to upload hex. Don't remember if it was 000000h. But then i connected ground and 12V to the car interface on OP-COM and programming finished succesfully.

[mishu_b]

....
or you can use for reprogram the PIC - ICD2, ICD3 tool from Microchip.

Hi all, think I have just killed my op-com by running 100315e, to confirm, will I need a PIC hardware programmer to reflash the PIC? any help very much appreciated for hardware and software reconmendations.

[vares]

PIC programmmers is much,simple is JDM based, and complex for proffi.
If there is a need programming PIC controllers in the future by USB and easy to use may be purchas PICKIT2 or 3.

Hello, i will download the fix to see if i can fix my clone or not. if i have any problems i will ask for help

I have the same opcom problem.
Zoro1, its really works?

The flashing works to get back to 1.39 with a bootloader. Did it with three devices so far...
And additionally testet PICKit2. Works when you lift a resistor during the flash (PICKit 2 cannot drive that much current to Vpp).

The simple Serial-programmer here works well and you can supply enough Power to Vpp :)

[liviudiaconu]

I repprogrammed PIC18F458, is really programmed but.. "failure" on test interface, opcomfut say me "PIC empty?"
But PIC is sure programmed, i can read with ICD2/MPLAB.

EPT in FT232 is ok..
And the schematic in the archive "how to repair..." is not realy, PCB is different..
Who know what can be broken?

[mishu_b]

...
you need an oscilloscope to monitor all signals coming from USB port until the uC.
without this it is more or less impossible to find, could be anything on the PCB from wire to cap or res.

all the best!

[liviudiaconu]

Thank you, i wrote you on mail, too...

can i use pic lite?

[zoro1]

yes ,any pic programmer that supports PIC18F458 is OK for he job.

Hi, can you tell me how can I test relays if they are working or not? My interface stopped working after few weeks, I thought that maybe PIC is erased, but is not-in case I programmed it again, but still interface doesn't past the test. So maybe some relays are not working, but what is the easy way to test them. Another thing I can't find on my PCB board resistor R32 which should be 510ohm, maybe because my board looks a little bit different-i think that's new model. Is it on new PCB boards this resistor 510ohm as well?

[mishu_b]

...
when it has stopped working your interface? stored in the shelf or during the diagnosis?

atb

[easyobd]

It was working for couple days then after short brake I connected it again into the car and interface couldn't connect with the car. Ralays didn't click, and after test -"test unsuccessful". PIC is definitely programmed.

[mishu_b]

...
did you tested the interface? what is the result?
into device manager what can you see with the interface plug into USB port?

atb

[easyobd]

I can see it in Device Manager as OP-COM Interface V2 but when I do test it doesn't past it. PIC 100% programmed.

Hi, I have problem with my chinese opcom, it can't connect to any car.I check the PIC, and is fine even programmed it again, all relays are fine, interface past the test but still can't connect with the cars. I thing it could be L9837D faulty, correct me if I'm wrong or point me where is the problem. My PCB looks like in the picture above, but I can't find schematic for that pcb. The shematic which I found on this forum is diffrent than my hardware. Thank you for any help.

the main problem of your tool is L9637D - I have the similar issue with few tools.

atb

[easyobd]

Thanks mishu_b, thats what I thought myself. After when I checked it with multimeter and oscilloscope looks on faulty one. After or before I replace it do I have to program it? Do you have maybe shematic for my type of interface, because this one which I found on this forum is for different hardware?

[mishu_b]

...
no need to reprogram anything - this device is working if it is healthy.

I do not have schematic - for this version, i have the same schematic which is shared here.

Today i flashed my opcom v5 2007 interface with PicKit2 (also clone version :D but made from schematics by Microchip site) It wasnt necesary to desolder r11 smd like someone said here. I used 15cm wires to conect PIC to PicKit2 pins.

I have 3 pcs defective OPCOM with PIC erased. So I buy 5.0E SMD Willem and use 0.95d12 software and try also WINPIC800. After connecting 5 wires using schematic post here :

- pin 6 from PIC to Willem GND ICSP
- pin 7 from PIC to Willem VCC ICSP (+5v)
- pin 16 from PIC to Willem PGC
- pin 17 from PIC to Willem PGD
- pin 18 from PIC to Willem VPP (+12V)

I can't program OPCOM! I don't know where I do mistake.
I also try to lift R11 but result was same. Also I dont know If I use right firmware because there is different files with different size (FW 1.39 + Bootloader.hex (91kb), 139original.fw (56kb) etc. Also do I need to connect external power to OPCOM or only to use 12 external power (12v) connected to Willem - Winpic sofware doesn't switch VPP from Willem programmer like willem sofware do. Also how to configure switches in Willem?

Seems like willem didnt program corectly PIC18F458 (security bits?).
Now try to reprogram PIC again but directly from usb using OpcomF*t or opcom loader.
Better use AB-com to downgrade to FW 1.18 and then upgrade progresive using diferent opcom versions to whatever you want 1.20->1.33->1.39 or even 1.44 (beware if you use op-com to upgrade to 1.44 you cannot downgrade anymore using USB, only with external programmer)

RTS low
Communication closed. Handle: 22421904

Maybe is some hardware problem, did someone have simular problem. BTW this problem appear when car was started and car battery was very low with OPCOM attached to OBD, and before that opcom work great. The other Opcom has same problem and same symptoms!

Any idea?

change your PIC device - reprogram, then your tool will work.

You are sugesting to buy new PIC18F458 and program the new PIC? I don't beleive that PIC is dead I have 2 OPCOm with same problem! I will try and I will post results!

Your computer is not set to recognize cyrilic letters (Language for non unicode programs). Use regional and language settings in control panel and add support for cyrilic letters and then restart your computer.

There's no Atmega ( Atmel ) in your OP-COm tool mate.
There's a PIC ( Microchip )
If you have a fw 1.33 ( for instance ) and you connect to the Op-Com China Clone 08/2010 ( 100219a ) and you a TEST then the softwear will upgrade your tool automatically.
Then your tool will have fw 1.39
Good luck

You tell us that you tried to read content of PIC with willem. How read content without supported 18F458?

Try ICD2 or OPComLoader

You can read PIC 18F458 with willem without any problem just use new software 0.98D9 or newer. Use ICSP connector.

Mate you have to check this.
I cannot tell you what's your problem becasue I'm not a medium.
Check relees first to see if that once are good.
Then if the relles are good check that 2 X MCP2551's

You need to reflash the PIC
It was erased
Good luck

[ghostryder23]

Do i need a programer for doing that?
or is it posible with some software that i can conect directly to opcom,sorry this is my first time with this problem

[mattydr67]

No you need an external programmer for this
No softwear can do this if the PIC it is empty
Good luck

[ghostryder23]

what do you think wich one is the best to buy of external programmers?

[mattydr67]

I have a JTAG programmer home made
But you can buy one, a cheap one from ebay
Or you can use a pickit 2 or 3 programmer
Good luck

Could you tell me what do i need more to fix it?

OCfalsh can't help you if you have an empty PIC sir.
Just if you have to change the firmwear no metter what.
But if the PIC was erased you have nothing to do you'll need an external programmer
Good luck

I am not sure that pic is empty.
Maybe bootloader is crashed.
I am already got one working after bootloader restoring.

Use OCflash in this case and you'llsee if the PIC it is empty or not.
But when you do a TEST of Interface with an OPCOM for clone as China Clone 08-2010 and in the the message of the TEST it said "FAIL" you'll be sure that your PIC it is empty
If it will say Firmwear 1.XX you can use OCflash and you'll can flash it with any firmwear you want.
As I said if you you have message "TEST FAIL" there's no way to reflash the PIC by USB just with an external programmer
Good luck

Mate as we allways talk about this.
Other firmwear then 1.39 it is unusefull for a tool if you use it with a softwear from 2010 as China clone it is.
If you want to use the fw 1.44 as yours you need to have 2011 OP-COm softwears
If we use other firmwears then the one the softwears version needs we just dreaming.
The China Clones softwear needs JUST FW1.39
Other versions it is not good
Good luck

Hello Guys,

can anybody give me a short overview which pins on the PIC I have to connect to my programmer and how to program it?

Am I right when im flashing 1.39 to make my OP-Com remain working. And do not have to flash it every time new?
is there something i have to do with the TFDI stuff?
out of the box there was 1.64 on my chip. Do i have to take special care about something?

Thanks for help

Mine was 1.59, I back flashed it to 1.45 and now it doesnt work. OPCOM SW reads it but it doesnt connect to car. Also, OCFLASH can read current FW version, but refuses to flash it back to 1.59. Is there a solution?

[gazvts]

solution depends on what pic mcu inside it

[Inovator]

Its : PIC18F458

[vpreda2003]

Hello,
I have an 201008 China Clone Op-com interface. This worked fine until I did a firmware update to 1.59. Now, when I connect it to my car and try to open Op-Com China Clone software, my car open herself headlights and increases its engine speed. I tried to revert to a lower firmware version (1.39), but OCFlash says that "Bootloader did not respond...either killed interface, empty pic or new protection!" If I try to write only the bootloader everything are written right, but there are still 1.59 firmware version.
What should I do next?
Thank you!

[Inovator]

It's probably fake PIC inside...so, there's nothing you can do except change PIC with original one

Hi guys,

I've got this opcom: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4z8Bw-7hU0aY011bWpRenBHUlU

Tried to use it, but to no avail. It was with 1.59 initially. I downgraded to 1.45, but again no luck.

No unfortunately, I cannot flash it back to 1.59 it gives me the "bootloader did not respond either killed interface..." error.

Here is how it looks like with opcomfue

How can I determine if the pic is empty? And any advices how to flash it again with 1.59?
