In the BX_24 reference manual (v 1.42) P. 11 there is a claim that the multitasking engine was tested with 1000 tasks. How could this be... with only 400 bytes of RAM and 32 bytes per task minimum? Is there a way to increase the amount of RAM? Also, how does one "look" at the data in the stack to see how much was used? Thanks.. J [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

look at the *.mpp file for how much ram was used. it is a simlpe text file. --- Jim Wolff <> wrote: > > Also, how does one "look" at the data in the stack to see how much > was used? > > Thanks.. J __________________________________________________

This was tested on a BX01 with 64K bytes of ram. It really did work - although each task had to wait its turn for awhile.

you can add a SPI or I2C memory to your bx-24 and use what you want. --- Jim Wolff <> wrote: > Is there any way to increase the RAM in a BX_24? > -----Original Message----- > From: Jack Schoof [mailto:] > Sent: Saturday, December 02, 2000 1:42 AM > To: > Subject: Re: [BasicX] Simple Multitasking question > This was tested on a BX01 with 64K bytes of ram.

Can this be used in the same fashion as the 400 Bytes of RAM currently on board the chip. Are there any examples of this in the documentation (or any where else?)

there is SPI code in the file section of egroups. that is a simple 2 wire hookup. --- Jim Wolff <> wrote: > Can this be used in the same fashion as the 400 Bytes of RAM > currently on > board the chip.

no, it can not be used for that. what you could do is use one or two var's for use in your calulations. you could also ref memory locations by value. this would not be an easy thing to do. for expanding your memory higher than the 400 bytes that you have with the bx-24 use a bx-01 with the ram sandwitch. --- Jim Wolff <> wrote: > Can it be used for TASK STACKS (and other special uses for which the > 400 > Bytes are used for?) > -----Original Message----- > From: Tony Brenke [mailto:] > Sent: Saturday, December 02, 2000 12:30 PM > To: > Subject: RE: [BasicX] Simple Multitasking question > there is SPI code in the file section of egroups. > > that is a simple 2 wire hookup. > --- Jim Wolff <> wrote: > > Can this be used in the same fashion as the 400 Bytes of RAM > > currently on > > board the chip.

I am making a datalogger and I need a way to store accumulated data over a long period of time, maybe up to a month at a time. I was thinking about trying to convert a serial output to Bell Tones and record them on a cassette tape, Kind of like the old computers like the TRS-80 did. Then I could play it back into my PC later for analysis. Has anyone tried something like this? Cory
