Hi, Have a curious question on how your small remote panels around the layout
tie into the operation. I notice in the 2nd article you talk about the

Good day all, If I understand the workings correctly, if you send a binary code of 0100 over the four input address lines of a BCD-Decimal chip it will pull...
Hugh, I'm no electronics wiz, but I just finished a small project to reduce the number of output lines I need by employing the 7442 BCD to decimal decoder ...
I want to thank everyone for their patience and suggestions. I erased everything and re inserted the patches. I am now connected with Visual Basic. I would...
Perhaps Hugh, running each of the 10 output lines into a D-Flip-Flop (74LS74) Preset input, then your (log-going) clear signal into all of the Clear inputs...
Learned Group I can normally figure out whats happening in a program but this has me stumped. I have loaded a screen capture of a series of error messages when...
Glad you're going! Now the real fun begins.... No matter what your problem is, someone here has already found and fixed it or done something that accomplishes...
Are you sure the number of input ports is specified correctly for each card? If it's looping around looking for another input byte when the etx arrives, I...
Jim; Yup. these are all sminis ni=3 no=6. The built in init functions in Bruce's module would crash out if anything else is speced for an smini. The fact that...
With that slow a computer a DOEVENTS between each call to INIT might help. Maybe windoze is yanking the rug out from under you at an inopportune moment. I...
Jim: I believe a DO EVENTS is triggered within the serial module itself at the bottom of TXPACK! So I went downstairs and loaded her up and commented out the...

Al Is the dropping resistors on the SMC12 installed. They are 1K resistors and if so, then you have 2 resistors in series with the Switchmaster. These are...
