Project Notes

Following the conversations here, there is a test version of blassic to download.

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…)

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…)

Here is a little (extended)Blassic program to read the PIC 16F876A I2C Slave. (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…)

Fitting a serial converter and lead insider the I/O Bus box gives us back a socket for other projects and gets the serial converter out of harms way.  Cutting a couple of I/O Bus tracks opens up even more options. (more…)
