I was wondering in anyone had experience using the Amulet Easy LCD GUI unit, especially if they have been successful in using it with the BX-24. I have been checking out the specs at their web site ( http://www.amulettechnologies.com/ ) and it looks pretty cool. But I have not found anyone with practical experience, and do not want to lay out the $ without more info. (I am just a hobbyist, and have no real application in mind just yet.) Thanks.

Is there an analog input on the BX-01 chip or do I have to use an external A/D converter? I see pins 3 & 4 are something to do with "analog comparator", but I can't see any example of it's use. I see the getadc command appears to be only for the BX-24... Dave

you can direct your questions to me. I use only the bx-01 any of the i/o pins can be configured with pull-up resistors by just changing the port setting. they can not be setup for pulldown using anything but an external resistor. if you need it set for pull down you can do it by adding a resistor from ground to the pin. make it the same size as the internal resistors. (the size is in the doc's some place) ---------------- incircut programming is done by pluging the parralel port cable into the dev board. then pluging the 7-wire jumper from the dev board to the 7-wire jumper on the target system. I would double check the wiring if this is not working for you. It runs flawless. ---------------------------------------------------- --- wrote: > Sorry, I don't have a BX-01 with me at the moment, so this may be a > dumb question! > :-) > > Pin 32 is an I/O pin.

the BX35 sounds like a larger BX24. no relation to the BX01. this is direct from the doc's in the bata program. --- wrote: > On 19 Dec 2001 at 15:05, jschoof <> wrote: > > > The BX35 will be out the first of the year, which is a 40 > > pin DIP version of the BX24 using the AT90S8535.

the best bet for this is an optical sensor. white mark on a pully or shaft. light on this and an optical pickup like I used to detect white lines in the fire robot contest. --- wrote: > On 18 Jan 2002 at 8:49, Vinoo Narayanan <> wrote: > > > To detect engine rpm for spark ignited gasoline engines, detecting the > > spark plug firing impulses is one way to do it. > > Herein lies the problem - I want a sensor that can work on diesel & petrol > engines, so a spark sensor won't work.

Not really possible. The first place I intend to install this on is a 2000 HP marine diesel engine which is mounted in a large boat (actually there are 4 of these engines on the boat). The engine doesn't have the driveshaft visible & even if it did have, I'd be loathe to start mounting things on it as it's down in the bilge. No other moving parts visible on the engine either...

I create lots of marine electronics, solutions: -use the charing alternator w-output,this ac output use VDO for RPM indication. -For CarterPillar Diesel engines use the RS485 output, serial output from engine RPM,TEMP,Pressure.... SAE J1587:9600Baud,8B,no par,wait for 128,91, skip 2 bytes,RPM-L,RPM- H -Use a Gear Tooth Sensor type IGT101DC farnell nr: 731-900. Monting this sensor on the starting gear will give the RPM -Use a piezo buzzer metal plate ,glue this on a fuel injection tube and a nice rpm puls...

the problem hapens because windows 2000 is an NT type of system. it restricts direct access to the ports on the PC. you need to install DriverLINX. --- wrote: > Is the BasicX development system supposed to work with Windows 2000? > > If I just try to run it after installing, I get the following error when I > press the download button: > > DriverLINX Port I/O Driver > DLPORTIO.SYS device driver not loaded. > Port I/O will have no effect. > > and then more errors later about not being able to detect the EEPROM, etc. > Fair enough, I can see a program called LOADDRV.EXE so I run that even > though it says Win NT & not Win 2k specifically.

Hi David, I wish I could help you with the errors you have, but I can tell you that I am using Win2K Service Pack 2. My V1.48 Development environment works.
