Just to follow up.. incase anyone else runs into this.. I could never get all the eprom settings to take using the palm and snallBasic. I have no idea why. ...
John, I think what may have been happening is that the requirement for board ID was turned on in the first string sent (which was executed after the...
You should also make sure there is a 3ms delay between commands. The SV203 will override a command in process if a new command comes in. The HBC101 does not...
I can now confirm that unused A/D pins can alternately be used as digital outputs, with additional information as follows: A/D inputs are on PORTA of the PIC...
see the bottom for one additional point ... After you've set your data direction register as noted above(TRISA), to change ONE of these assigned output bits,...
I was reading all messages regarding PWM on this formum and I haven't found an answer. Does anybody know if the PWM timings are hard coded (burnt in) or if ...
Hmmmmmmm tough one. I don't know the answer, but I would think that since the PIC has hardware PWM, it's probably a firmware function that's hard coded. The...
I'm trying to get a feel for demand for animation software for the SV203, and if it would be worth a small one-time fee for people to buy. Before you dismiss...
I could see that being useful for some people, although I know I wouldn't use it personally. What I would see as an improvement to the free software [pontech ...
Happy New Year I need help with Com port setup in VB6.0 In this project I download a SVBASIC program to the board and alter the board behavior by changing...
Mark, Try changing the RThreshold property's value to 1 (by default it's 0), and assemble the bytes together in a string as they come in. (this is located in...
Thank you Steve. I will try it tonight and let you know. Regards, Mark Aretskin ... From: Steve Arnold To: Pontech_SV203@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday,...
Mark, Any luck? By the way, the OnComm event subroutine is the one you jump to (its name is generated) when you double-click the MSComm icon on your form. ...
I also just noticed that I flip-flopped (because I had cut and pasted) between referring to MSComm and MSComm1 as the name (they should be the same) - you will...
Hi Steve. I just finish testing the feed back from the board with some marginal success. Thanks to your advise I can assign value to variable as "C =...
Mark, Can you email me the program off-list? I'm not subscribed via email so the attachment goes off in virtual limbo and I can't access it. you can email it...
For others that may be running into similar problems with replies from the SV203, this can happen when a program doesn't allow for the timing delay for the PC...
Hi! My Sv203 board just stopped working and I assume this is because I broke the regulator. Which regulator should I replace it with? Where can I buy one?...
Why do you think it popped? Did it let out some of that mysterious smoke from inside that keeps it working? Did it melt? Did you hook up the power connector...
Hi, no. The board just stopped working. I measured the voltage and it is ~5V, so then it must be something else...probably the PIC? I will try the reset...
The board can appear to stop working due to a couple of reasons, 1) inadvertently writing to the wrong eeprom location (needs the jumper reset procedure to...
Yeah... We are now using a regulated and stable desk power supply, and it works. Seems like our Radioshack power adapters were to flacky or something? /Paulina...
Yeah, it depends on the current rating for it, and if it's a switching supply or just your regular old style wall-wart. Lots of "over the counter" power...
Not that I'm aware of. Sounds like it has lots of potential though if someone puts together drivers. A quick search didn't turn up any at the moment though...
