Yes, I'm a newbie, and have not done any real prototyping as of yet. I've experimented with the NetMedia supplied jumper cables for their sample apps but now...
I prefer to cut varying lengths of solid copper telephone wire. Easily available, small enough to not damage header sockets, strong enough for perf boards....
I have used wirewrap wire in the past it is 30 gage. At first i tried to use the wire wrap tool but soon started to use this type wire just soldered from chip...
Hello everybody.... I used to think of my self as an experienced user ....up until today. I have builded -a long time ago- a common position controller with 2 ...
Hello I would suggest you to check the four communication lines: TX, RX and GND should be working properly... I wouldn't be so sure about the DCD line. If you...
The line I was mentioning is called ATN line (pin#3), it is for serial donwloading...If it is broken, you will still be able to receive data but will NOT be...
More likely that you cannot get the attention of the chip because the processor is in a tight loop. Try starting the download with no power turned on to the...
I agree. I mistakingly used the term perf board where I should have used solderless bread board ( the insertion type dev board ). I too use wirewrap wire for...
Don, Thanks for the feedback. I realized that I needed to be more specific in my question. I also wanted to know if I can do solderless prototyping with...
Daniel, Thank you for your suggestions. In reviewing the BasicX Development Station circuit diagram, it appears NetMedia included the back biased diode (D9)...
you could use header pins soldered into the dev board. Solder ic sockets underneath to the headers. Use 18 or 20 pin sockets and place smaller ic's to the pin...
hi im interfacing my bx-24 with a C# program. It will send the 2 bytes to the bx and the bx will recieve it, but for example if i send byte 1 from the pc the...

... No, Delay and Sleep use ticks (~1.95mS). You can, however, use PulseOut to pin 0 (no pin) to achieve short pauses with ~1uS resolution. Read the...
hi, I pulled out my old BX24 to play with controlling a servo, and I am having some problems with it. I have a both a regular analog servo and a new digital...
Problem solved, I was under powering the system with just 220mA, once I put the servo on its own power supply at 550mA it works just fine. Thanks, Michael ... ...
Is the servo running from the same power supply? The digital servo may take more current and cause the BX24 to reset. David ... I am ... and ... when ... with ...
I had a similar issue once... I turned out the power supply does not produce enough current for both the BX24 and the servo. (approx .5a) And while I could...
... Hello and Good Evening, I am curious to know if you have received any answer and help on your post. I am today in the same situation than you. I have...
Hello, I would like to come back on this issue of X10 Command with BasicX- 24 because I have a lot of problem to find the proper support and proper answers to...
Hi, I? never have any experience with X10 but I used BX24 for all my project but reading your email it looks like you do not understand the X10. My advice to...
Patrick, I never used X10 Way back when, there was an X10 project called BX24-AHT, you could also do a quick search for that too. more on a web search. look...
Hi, Thanks for your reply and help. I am happy to see that I am not the only one reading this forum. What I call the BasicX is the BX24p-u processor which is...
Hello Ian, Thanks for your reply and support. I saw these lines from Dave Houston and he say that we should send 2 commands in fact, one for the HouseCode...
