Hi Michail I am very busy with work right now, but will have net week off to focus on this. The 'explorer kit' contains the hardware which is required to build...
I have about 10 more complete IV17 Explorer Kits. These consist of 2 PCB's and all components (except tubes) to build a 4 tube display array. The 35V supply,...
The Explorer Kits are £23.90 each. The programmed Smartsocket pics are £5 each. Please add shipping as appropriate (maximum 2 kits per shipping charge) ...
It has come to my attention that a couple of IV17 explorer kits may have left me without blank pic micro's if you also ordered pics loaded with Smartsocket...
Hi Chris/group, It's been a while since i last killed the PIC processor i had on the breadboard, testing the IV-17 smartsockets, but i have finally got my act...
It's good to hear from you again Simon, well done for persevering ! I can give you a few answers, hopefully it is good enough. Firstly I had been having issues...

Hi Chris, Thanks for the update on the new software, its sounds like it will fix a lot of the issues i am having at the moment. The new features also sound...
Hi, Has anyone made any effort to port the smartsockets firmware to Atmel AVR processors? The reason I am asking is that I am selling a four tube IV-17 based...
I don't think anyone has done it, yet. An example of the best code is probably the B7971 code in the files section (cersion 2). That was my starting point for...
... That's correct, although I connected the blanking pin of the HV5812 to RB3 pin in previous versions, it was never used. I had anticipated using blanking to...
Hi, The next question is, are anyone interested in an atmel version? I apologize for insufficient research on my part: I had assumed that there would be C code...
... I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in an Atmel version Per.I could probably turn my hand to it if I ever get the time to learn Atmel assembly...

Hello...new to the group...was looking for some ideas to create a six digit clock using IV-4 tubes....Can anyone give me some ideas?...I think the Smart...
The PIC chip is controlled using an UART right? I have plans to add a slave mode to my clock kit as well (as an optional firmware), and that is what I thought...
... Yes that sounds cool. ... Yes that's how it's done. ... Not an official spec. The command list is in the files section for the relevant smartsocket...
Thanks Chris. Are these two features implemented in the current firmware? http://groups.yahoo.com/group/smartsockets/message/691 My PCB has pin 14 tied to GND,...
... Hi Simon, there was no need for these functions once I spun my own boards and bought in ready made 35V PSU's, so they are defunct. Pin 14 was a test mode...
... Having said no, I do have a version of code which does use these features if you want to spin your own supply. The code is good version 13 code which I...
Thanks Chris, I will stick with the latest version of code without these features and power the sockets with a separate supply. Cheers. Simon...

Unless we speak before tomorrow, I would just like to wish all group members a Happy Christmas and thank you for your continued support and interest in these...
Merry Christmas to you too and the rest of group. You are doing a great job an it is very well done. You have spent many hours of work wich you share with...
Terrible sorry if this affects you, but it would seem that some pics with IV-17 Smartsocket code have been sent out with a baud rate of 38400. If you have been...
Hello Chris, Let's hope it is something as simple as that. And if anything, it only shows that you're human as well. As such, you're allowed to make mistakes. ...
... Would anybody have a problem if 38400 becomes the default speed and 9600 became the option ? I certainly am happy with the performance of the 18f25k22 at...
I'm still constructing the "top deck", haven't got as far as that yet! Those IV-14 wires are pesky ;-) Slight error on that PCB BTW, C6 is labelled C5 (which...
... Have you tried an IV-17 or IV-4 instead Derryck, might be easier ;) ... Heck. Thanks for pointing out the naming error. The pad size issue will need to be...
