Has anyone had any expierience using Atmels AVR Studio with GNU C and 
rAVR?  If so how did it work?  Anything special that needs to be set 
up?  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi. I need to connect some modules (pic16F84+temp sensor) to an rs485 
bus and send data to PC. Can anyone give me some good sample of 
electronic schematics, interfacing the pic with rs485, communication 
software?

Hi Luis,
best bet for Bascom-8051 answers is the bascom group itself.

http://www.dontronics.com/chat.html
has the pointers to all groups.

I would think piclist.com will have plenty of this on board.
also the piclist chat group is a good spot to tune in, or at least have

Hi,
 do you know where I can find Parallax's SPASM assembler?
 cause the link on ftp.parallaxinc.com/pub/parallax doesn't work

A lot of Parallax gear was taken over by tech tools

Hi,

I've just finished porting my GPL hc11 cs8900 ethernet project to the 8051.
This is not (yet) a web server, the UDP works well, but the TCP layer is
still work-in-progress (as are the tcp protocols like http and telnet).

The code compiles with gcc-hc11 and sdcc for the 8051.  The bulk is in C,
tiny portions are in assembly eg. 8051 IP checksum.  Porting to any of the
other CPUs covered by sdcc (eg. z80) should be fairly easy.

Compilation used to be supported on Linux and Windows.  I haven't had time
to get v3.0 compiling on Windows, that will be 3.1 in June some time.  ie.
3.0 is Linux only unles you want to hack the Makefiles.

I've also done two new hardware projects to develop/demo the 8051 support.

One is a new board (not yet available for sale) that is a simmstick
(http://www.dontronics.com).  Currently the only cpu that drives it is my
8051 simmstick development board.  People wanting to get other cpus going
would be welcome, however the code is somewhat memory hungry and would not
work too well with <1k of ram (assuming BOOTP is not used, BOOTP needs about
2k).  There are other less memory hungry stacks that could be ported to the
cs8900.

The other project is strapping my cs8900 board to the cygnal C8051F005 CPU.
This is a 3.3V version of the interface using the same PCB with a few hacks.

A few people have had some fun with this project (someone else has it
talking to an MCORE too).  There are also plenty of assembled boards that
will run this software (eg. http://www.embeddedethernet.com).

All the above can be found at http://www.wiresncode.com/projects/ether, the
8051 development board is at  http://www.wiresncode.com/projects/dev8051

I'll be on holiday for 4 weeks from Friday.  I'll answer all emails on
return.

Enjoy,
Tom

Just put a few links into it Tom, from my pages.

I would also like to remind users that you don't have to use Simm
Sockets and thin boards for SimmStick use and development.

Have a look at:
http://www.dontronics.com/simcon.html for the male/female gold
connectors in both R/A and straight versions.

I figure I have enough sockets to keep me going for a year or two, and
in the past, I have had to order 10K at a time before they would supply
me. Chinese factories actually do a small run of them if you order in
these quantities.

The good thing about SimmStick is that it has the 30 holes right next to
the edge connectors, and the male/female pins you can always get. They
are stock items from many manufacturers. 

The day may come in the future that I will drop the Simm socket concept
myself, and just go with the pins.

Don,

I laughed when I read your post - I guess my soldering is kind of 
rough and ready, I am quite proud of it though....

For better or worse I've got simm sockets on both my boards, 
desoldering them would be too much trouble at this stage.  I have 
made a few of them quite unreliable though by trying to use them with 
the thicker PCB material.

Thanks for the links,
Cheers,
Tom

OH, not really Tom. :-)
I did see the two boards edge connected together with solder, and it
reminded me that people can make fat boards based on the SimmStick bus
and use them with the connectors rather than sockets.

I am debugging a new simmstick compatable development board.  It uses 
Dallas Semiconductors amazing new DS89C420 microcontroller, which is 
code/ pin compatable with the original 8051, but executes (small) 
instruction in a single clock cycle rather than 12 original or 4 for 
high speed.  I coupled this chip with an atmel 128K flash chip (64K 
data/64K code) use to store large amounts of data. The interface to 
the flash makes it slow to run code out of exernal flash, but the 
chip offers 16K of internal flash for high speed routines.  I use the 
simmstick connection as an address/data buss for the 8051.  This 
should allow me to create addin modules that would map right into the 
microcontrollers address space.

I am curious to see if others would like to use the pcb for thier own 
projects, is quite easy to make a bunch of them but why do it if 
there is no market for them. Any comments will be apreciated, but I 
do not read or use my Yahoo mail acount due to spam.  Either post 
comments/ sugestions here, of email me through my website 
http://PicPuter.com.

No, I don't want to be accused of the "yet another virus announcement,
and panic merchant" syndrome, but I do want to let people in the
electronics and embedded field know that there is a virus that could
well get out of hand if you aren't aware of it, and have no control over
it, and you are the one being accused of sending the virus.

This is the W32/Klez.e@M... virus and in the last 2 days, has done quite a
lot of damage.

The infected computer randomly selects a sender and recipient from their
address book or any email address on their system, and sends a virus in
the name of the sender to the recipient. If you get the virus sent to
you, then it also means you are in this address book or listed on their
system, and the sender isn't actually the sender. They are simply in the
infected computers address book or somewhere on their system also.

Right now, many of my business associates are being accused of sending
viruses, when it is far from the truth.

The fact is that businesses will be more exposed to this virus than the
average user, as our email addresses are more prominent on the web, and
in users address books, and on users systems.

The same applies to spam, we get spam that can total 100 to 200 messages
per day. My spam catcher gobbles up most of it these days.
(mailwasher.net)

I have quickly put together:
http://www.dontronics.com/virus.html
to help explain most of the virus problem.

The headers of this virus will tell you who sent the email with the
virus, so please don't go blaming the owner of the spoofed email address
given.

Thanks Don,

I have been getting them. In fact I have received so many that I thought my 
virus software was going crazy.

I guess its just been doing its job!

Hi Len, yes you just need to sit tight then, unless you want to chase
the infected computers individually.
I have been doing this, but I wonder what it will achieve. I think that
users having a knowledge of the problem will do the trick, and it will
die out.

My problem is a spam catcher front end I am using. mailwasher.net
does a great job of getting rid of spam, but it can easily put the good
guys in my black list if I am not careful, so I deleted my black list,
and have started again.

Hello all,

I'm working on an MSP430 SimmStick. It'll use the TI MSP430F110DW 
chip and will come fully assembled and tested, primarily because it 
is all SMD (apart from the JTAG connector). Please email me for more 
details.

So, you want to deprive us of the fun of SMD soldering? :)))
Will you have bare boards too?
I guess that the (pin compatible to the '110) MSP430F11x1 variants will fit
the board too?

Hi,

Have a look at http://www.olimex.com/dev/

I have ordered a number of MSP430 bits of them as well as their PIC stuff

Not sure yet. There doesn't seem much interest amongst the SimmStick 
dealers, so I probably won't go ahead. I might go ahead with another version 
that connects to the SimmStick bus via a DT208. It may also be used 
stand-alone.


>I guess that the (pin compatible to the '110) MSP430F11x1 variants will fit

Yes, no problem.

Hi All,

I recently purchased the DT106 Kit (AT90S2313
included), the DT107 and SBBB02 boards as well as an
AT90S8535 and 8Mhz Crystal from
http://www.dontronics.com. 

I have assembled all the boards, and am able to
program and play around with the 2313 in the DT006.
(Suggests that this board is operational.) 

My problem comes when the DT107 board (loaded with the
8535 and 8Mhz Crystal) is mounted in the simm slot. 
The various programmers that I was sucessful at using
with the 2313, ie uisp, Bascom-AVR, ponyprog2000 all
fail to recognise and hence program the 8535.  

*I have removed the 2313 and 4Mhz resonator from the
DT006
*I get Vcc and ground on the DT107
*The DT006 board has 2 horizontal jumpers in J14 to
connect the 2 relevent Port B lines to the simm slot.
*I get continuity between PB5 PB6 PB7 on the DT006
where the 2313 was installed(U3) and the respective
pins on on the DT107(U1).
*I have JP4 pin 1 and 2 jumpered for AVR operation and
 I get reset transitions when i press the reset button
on the DT006.
*I have the 78L05 installed in VR1 on the DT107 and
JP2 is installed.  (There is a warning about this that
is unclear to me.) Should it be installed if I am
using the DT006. What are the ramifications if it is
installed?

One thing of note that may or maynot indicate that I
have fryed my 8535 is that if all the jumpers on J9
are installed on the DT006 then all the leds(2-9 on
the DT006) are lit when I power up.  Does or has
anyone else experience/d this phenomenom.

I have triple checked my soldering and component
orientation, any clues or further troubleshooting
steps you can think of would be most welcome.

Thanks in Advance
Michael Wake.
