good heavens!!

DT003 and DT203 aren't SimmSticks. perhaps I am on the wrong list. :-)

Oops sorry about that fellas,

I think I had one too many beers.

I see how easy it is to send a mesg to the wrong address sometimes.

Yes Don please make it only members that can post...

If you barred DRUNKS too then there maybe wouldnt be anyone else who CULD post.

=8-)

CYA

Shame you can't point these good customers to a stateside dealer who
sells these in single quantities!

Hi gang,

11-May-2000
Updated Info. Comments Please. This board will be produced soon.
DT209 I/O Expansion Board on a SimmStick
http://www.dontronics.com/dt209.html

Hi all

I have built a DT104 and the sample programmer cable as described in the 
RunAVR project and it all worked just fine.

I now have built a SIMM100 with a AT90S/LS8535, and wish to make a similar 
cable for this board, but am struggling a bit and some assistance would be 
appreciated.

The DT104/runAVR cable has:

Parallel Port			DT104 (via 330 ohm resistor)
===============================================
Pin 2, D0			MOSI (via 330 ohm resistor)
Pin 4, D2			RESET (via 330 ohm resistor)
Pin 5, D3			CLOCK
Pin 11, busy			MISO
Pin 18-25, ground		GND

Now looking at the SIMM100 diagram on J3 (ISP), I find:
MOSI		OK that matches
MISO		OK taht matches
RES		I presume that matches with RESET (?????? help)
SCK		Is this the same as CLOCK (??????? help)

There is also the LD1 LED attached to pin 3 of J3. Does this get hooked up 
to anything?

Is ISP the same as SPI. The SIMM100 diagram say ISP and the DT104 say SPI. 
Are they equivalent?

Thanks in advance.

Hi All.

I have worked with PICs a little in the past, programming in F84.

I did not have then my own programming-burning hardware, and I did not needed
it :)

Now, I`d like to build one, but Don`s pages are a little confusing.

Could someone just tell me where to start, and why maybe it`s better to start
using Amtel micros instead of others?

What hardware from Don, could be used to program both kind of micros.

If I have some business in mind, what is the best strategy to follow?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my little English.

Of course, the answers could be off the list, to: shopcolombiausa.net

Hi Carlos,
I firmly believe there is only one place to start right now:
The Little "rAVeR!" AVR & Basic Kit http://www.dontronics.com/dt006.html

There is not a lot of gear around that you can use for both micros,
however a few PIC/AVR programmers are starting to appear. The SimmStick
platform at least gives you the option of heading in either direction.

But really, I have been in business since 1964, and into main frame and
mini computers since about 74, and PC's if you could call them that,
around early 78, and this is as simple and as cost effective as it gets.

Sure, PICs have a good track record and an excellent applications base,
however I feel AVR's have the edge as far as newbies are concerned. 

This starts the very long argument about which micro is best, and the
question should really be "which micro is best for your application"?

next year, then the year after, there will always be something bigger,
better, faster. we have all seen it before in PC's, and it's the same
with any microcontroller. You have a wish list, then when your wish list
comes true, you wish you had 3 more wishes.

You should be able to hook up a SIMM100 board to a rAVer! board in one
of two ways.

10 pin header to 10 pin header. Straight through. I'm pretty sure Lars
(SIMM100 designer) checked this,

I'll CC this message to the dealer list so that he picks up on it
anyway.

or via the Simm bus.
However if you use the simm bus, you will have to link J14 1 to 2 and 3
to 4. This is covered in the assembly instructions.

OH, The LED next to the Kanda header is a visual programming indicator
for the stk200 I believe.

Hi

I still consider myself a beginner. I fiddled a bit with Basic Stamps, then 
hit on the RunAVR project from Don. In fact I think I was the first one to 
buy a DT104 and get it running with AVR Basom. I found it relatively 
straight forward, but still had to ask a lot of questions.

Lots of luck.

Thanks Don

But what if I want to just connect a parallel port cable from my PC. Can 
this be wired into J3 in a similar manner as the SPI cable for the DT104?

OH yes, if you mean the 8 pin header, yes.

I just took mark's instructions down from the runavr page as we have
simplified it with the rAVer! board.

However if you just hook up the 5 wire circuit with or without the
resistors, you will find it will work. I know mark has got the 8 pin
header pins named in the schematic on the runavr.html page, so this
should make it simple.

Hi all,

Just got some 24LC08 chips...

I intend to use them with a DT101 board.

Is there any code around to handle the 24LC08 on the DT101?

Thanks,
Mac

Hi all,

Is there a RS485 stick(module) you know about?

Cheers,
Mert

There isn't a stand alone module, I guess that is what you are needing,.

The only one with rs-485 provision is the dt102.

Hi All,

    I'm using the DT006 with a 90S2313 under Win98 with tavrasm as my 
assembler and BASCOM-AVR to do the downloads using the Sample 
Electronics parallel port programmer design. It works fine, but I'd 
rather be using Linux, and in any case I'd much rather have a command 
line downloader, rather than having to fiddle with the BASCOM-AVR GUI!
    Tavrasm is available for Linux, but I haven't been able to spot 
any Linux programming s/w for the Sample Electronics programmer. Any 
ideas?

Thanks,
    Tom

Carlos,
    Don's pages are confusing no matter how good your English is :-)

    I don't know too much about AVR vs. PIC -- I chose AVR because it 
seemed faster. It probably depends on your application.
    If you do decide to go with the AVR I can certainly recommend the 
DT006 -- I got the kit with all the hard to find bits from Don, and 
got it up with trouble at all. Aside from the bits Don gives (I mean 
sells) you, all you need are a few capacitors and resistors, a 12V 
plupack (AC or DC), a cable with 5 wires from a male to a female DB25 
made as per the instructions, and probably a standard serial cable 
between the DT006 and your PC.
    For software you need BASCOM-AVR, and an assembler if you don't 
want to program in Basic.
    You can get all the documentation you need to understand the AVR 
chips from www.atmel.com. The BASCOM-AVR docs seem a bit lacking, but 
I didn't pursue that too far because I prefer assembler.

Hope this helps.

Tom

That should be *no* trouble at all!

Hi all!

I started with AVR 90S2313-10... and DT006 from Dontronics.
Carefully mounted and checked the voltages, etc.
I have win95 and BASCOM demo 1.0.0.8., with a PII 266 Mhz processor.
I branched the DT006 to my LPT2  with a standard parallel cable (the same
for my external zip unit). This port is configured to 278 and Bascom
software was referred to this address.
I followed the procedure described  in RunAVR page (for the dt104) and I
think that must work with the DT006 and leds D0-D4 (links 6,7,8 from J9
open)
The program I choosed is rotated.bas, and everythings seems to go well
but... when F4 is pressed a message "could not identify chip" appears.
I changed the chip, the resonator (3 legs, no capacitors) checked
continuities but...
I sended "buffer to flash rom" and I have the message "writing rotated.bas
to chip", but when I send "flash rom to buffer" I get the empty code (53 53
53) on the screen, so obviously the code was no wrote in the chip but there
is some kind of comunication with the chip.
The option "Identify chip" has the same response "could not identify chip"
Any help will be appreciated...
Thank you!

Hi,
    In my original attempts to program a non-AVR micro I was frustrated by my parallel port being uni-directional.
the chip was in fact programmed but there was no reply from the programmer so it appeared to fail.
 I eventually talked to a collegue who tried my programmer on his PC withe same result but he discovered that the chip was programmed and ran  .
That was using BASCOMLT but check anyway it may be the problem.
Cheers,

I'm not sure that I got it right...

Do you mean that I can *handle* a RS485 interface using a dt102?
ie in software or what, or, do I have to use a *mother board* and add the
dt102 as an *interface board*?

Well, what I mean is: I'd like to build an interface between a RS485 device
and a PC, ie. RS485<->RS232. If I can code the protocols (I hope it fits in
16F84) and *see* in on the LCD it'd be great!

Can I store the data some where, say a dt101's EEPROM?

Cheers,
Mert

Hi everyone

as many SimmStick modules have AVR micros "on board"
then it maybe of interest that AVRBasic compiler (old DOS)
version has now been made free for personal use!

it is downloadable from AVRBasic-Announce forum files section

Thanks to Tom, LynnDon and Don.

I work in computer science world, and do well with 4GL programming tools, some
C code and Java.

Perhaps, my soul is that of an electronics engineer!!

What could you tell me about DT006 recommended and the "STK200 FLASH AVR MCU
Starter Kit" also from Don's place ?

I'd strongly want to have a development platform, with software tools to debug
what I'm doing...
