... FOUND THE PROBLEM!!!! Yes, Thad I guess I was being to literal in my postings by using the " to indicate what I had written in the code and that is ...
Ingvar, I added a 3.3V regulator and a 74HC4050 to my BX-xx Development Station for just this purpose. You could also use a simple SHOTTKY diode clamp with a...
I would try a voltage divider first. If that seems less than optimal, then a level shifter IC. I have heard that voltage dividers have extra capacitance, or ...
... A possible solution is to use a pullup resistor tied to 3 volts on the BX output. Then, use bxOutputLow and bxInputTriState to output a zero and a one,...
... Well, since pin 14 SHOULDN'T affect Com1 (afaik), then its use for normal I/O purposes should not be a problem. Now that it is working, try taking the...
I am using a BX-24 with internal 32K EEPROM My customer needs to update a large set of data (about 1000 singles values) in the BX from the PC and I do not want...
... There may some confusion here regarding terminology. The *internal* EEPROM of the BX-24 is where Persistent data items are stored. The *external* EEPROM...
A current project sleeps (CPUSleep) after a period of inactivity. After satisfying myself that the device code is stable, I added a watchdog. The watchdog...
No I haven't played with low power modes, but the WD must be used carefully. Like you, its the very LAST thing I do, and it sometimes causes problems, like a...
Hello, I just received my brand new BasicX microcontroller today. I've read the entire Hardware Reference manual and followed the steps closely. I am running...
... This sounds too low unless it is being applied to pin 21 of the BX- 24 then it's too high. The BX-24P requires at least 6.7 volts applied to pin 24 (or 5...
... Not from BasicX anyway. There is a two-step process for turning off the WDT but it must be completed within 4 CPU clock cycles. That means, of course,...
While the BX-24 is pin compatible with the Parallax boards, Parallax introduced two capacitors on the DTR goint to the ATN [one is in series and one is to Vss]...
I know this is really a side project, but I have been look at the MAX232 driver. Since it has two RX and two TX, it seems to me that you could connect the TTL...
With some recoding I was able to effectively mix CPUSleep and Watchdog, as I suggested, by resetting the processor (to disable the watchdog) after setting a...
... values) in the BX... I am curious. Is this calibration data? Is this the same project as your previous message that requires a few values entered by the...
How might one reliably differentiate between a startup after a "warm" reset [/Reset BX-24 pin 22, or a call to ResetProcessor()] and after a "cold" reset, i.e....
... The Register.MCUSR has two bits in it that might help. Unfortunately, they seem to always read zero - at least on a non-P version. I don't have a working...
Hey Guys, Thank you kindly for the replies. Don't know if I'm all that adventurous but I am pretty desperate at the moment. Does anyone see any other options? ...
I have a small sensor board that passes data from a pair of sensors to a remote app LESS THAN 5 meters from the sensor location. This is currently done with a...
Thanks Tony, sorry it has taken so long to reply. Removing the code as you suggested did bring back the problem, 3 bytes should have been sent but only 2...
... By and far the two easiest options are to either by the Netmedia's board that does not have the more complex ATN interface or to build yourself a similar...
... Do you mean wireless or RF? If it must be RF, Bluetooth options are now numerous, like http://www.aircable.net/cr-serialmale-serialfemale.html . There...
I have 2 solutions working. 1. My basic-X talks to a Siteplayer. The SidePlayer is connected to a Linksys AP. This is now part of my WIFI network at home. 2. I...
