I rewired the Router to another scart plug, at the same time, I used an extra 78L05 to power the 5v line on the i/o bus. Both the new wiring and power arrangements caused problems. (more…)
I am going to have to re-wire the router I/O Bus connection. I opened the router case to investigate giving the I/O Bus it’s own 5v line - the little 78L05 regulator is really only capable of supplying 1 usb device. I was running into power troubles hooking too many things to the I/O bus. (more…)
Using the Remote Control Unit with the Pic I2C Slave connected to the Midge Router, it is possible to use Blassic to control regular mains devices via the the network. Here is a sample. (more…)
Controlling mains powered devices using home built circuits risks exposing those circuits and the operator to mains voltages. This risk can be completely avoided by adapting one of the many Remote Mains Control Devices. (more…)
I have added a basic PWM service to the PIC 16F876 I2C Slave I/O Processor. Here is the updated JAL Source and a Blassic program for the Router. It reads the Analog input, and prints to the console or sounds a Beep using the PWM output. (more…)
These are the I2C Bus Hardware and Software settings I am using with the on OpenWrt Midge router to talk to a PIC 16F876 I2C Slave. (more…)
These are the Connections I am using on the I/O Bus. (more…)
