Hi everyone,
Just thought I'd mention that another CVS has been born today. I
built my CVS as a 12" wide frac module (only 3.5" deep, though!). I'm
quite happy with the design, and I'll post some pictures in a couple
of weeks when the last couple of parts have been put in place : )
So far, my only trouble has been getting the IDE to communicate with
the AtomPRO. I'm a Mac laptop user, so between the requisite
USB-to-Serial converter, and the Windows-on-a-Mac ordeal, I've only
found one combination of port settings that are able to talk to the
Atom, and even that works only 1 time in 10 at best : { On the bright
side, it will eventually agree to program my chip. (Just to note: I'm
using the USB-RS232 converter from SparkFun Electronics - it uses a
Prolific PL2303. I've just ordered Parallax's FTDI-based converter to
see if I have better luck with it.)
Next step: Analyzing the code in the Files section, and figuring out
how to write my first program (a gate delay with voltage-controlled
delay time and gate length).
Thanks so much to Dave and John and everyone else who made this
project happen! I hope we hear from more people out there who have
completed theirs, and get some new code written!
Cheers,
Kevin
