where's the parallel cable? - bimityedye - May 3 14:39:29 2008
Just received two new 'S' boards today, Ver III+ w/ C1+ but my trusty
Ver 6.1.1 compiler, so dependable with my serial 'R' boards cannot now
find the parallel cable for my 'S' boards. I've had the compiler search
for the cable and I've preselected the port but still the same problem
with the starter pack cable. Any ideas? Without that cable what can I
do?

You might need to run the port95nt.exe program from the oopic download
page. It is listed under the Windows 2000, XP install instructions for
compiler version 5. Using the serial cable to program does not require
this file but the parrallel port does.

You WILL need to run port95nt.exe first.

Thanks guys that was helpful! Here's the story!
Before I went to the forum for advice, I was getting a dialog box
that said "Internal error in PortInp of I2CFuncs" and the the
comliler would lock-up and I would have to resort to Task Manager to
end the program. Now that dialog box has been replaced with one that
sez' just 'Parallel port not found' and even though I manually tell
the IDE what port to use, still no-go. Can I some how use my serial
cable to program the 'S' boards? Maybe some sort of converter cable
to put between the serial cable and the 'S' board's programming port?
I hate to think I just blew $140 for nothing! Any help would be
appreciated.

Sure, you can use a serial adapter like
http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/126 Connect RX to pin 37 of the
40 pin header, connect TX to pin 39. Connect VCC to a +5 pin and Gnd
to a Gnd pin and you are all set.
I use Jameco 736456 with heatshrink to make connections to the header.
I also cut up wirewrap sockets (like Jameco 196841) to get pins for
the +5 and GND pads. See www.jameco.com
Serial programming works better anyway. Just don't forget to put
OOPic.Delay = 5000 (use 500 for V5 of the compiler) as the first
executable statement.

Yes,
There are quite a few places where you can get serial converters and
use your S boards with a serial cable if you have B2.2+ or better chips
in them.
www.polulu.com
www.acroname.com
www.junun.com
are just a few.

Thanks Richard that's a great idea! I just tried to order one but had
a lot of trouble with their online order form so I'll wait till
Monday to order by phone. That converter looks like just the ticket!
Wish me luck!

Well Guys, I'm glad to say I got my programming problem solved! I
