Re: Cathode mapping weirdness

Alas it seems that cathode remapping doesn't survive a power cycle... This would be *extremely* handy IMHO ... do you have EEPROM space in either of the pics to save this?

Re: Cathode mapping weirdness

I have a properly mapped clock now :)

For the benefit of any other IN-8-2 kit builders that may follow, the magic incantation is:

0x13$PSU,8,07,12,34,56,89,,08***

Re: Cathode mapping weirdness

Ah, thanks Tony, that expains it, I'll have a try when I get back from work. Also, TBH, the entire protocol explanation needs some filling in and consistency fixing IMHO... Some things I've guessed or found by experimenting that aren't really explicit in the documentation: You'll need a terminal pro...

Cathode mapping weirdness

Hi Tony, I've built my relay with IN-8-2 tubes and am having trouble getting the cathode mapping right, either I don't understand the command properly or I've got them plugged in wrong, or both! Here's whats happening: First I send $13$$PSU,8,12,34,56,78,90,,08*** to make sure I'm starting with a ma...

Levitation base assembly...discussion

HI Tony,
you need to circle R19 on the second article on lev base PCB assembly. If it gets missed out then it looks like the power coil doesn't get driven.

[quote="Tony"]Bolt them down using the 4x M12 countersunk bolts in Bag3 - make sure all the pieces are centred:

Re: PCB assembly discussion

Just a quick instructions bug report: You have the colour code description for the 12k resistor wrong on the third post down on this page: http://www.lasermad.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=92 Also you don't actually say to fit the pic anywhere, as far as I can tell. It's sort of implied that...
