Thanks Don,
I thought the DT102 may require the PIC programmed outside the board
ie in the ZIF socket on the DT001. I have finished the construction
of
the DT001 and am in the process of getting it to work - see another
post.

The Little "rAVeR!" AVR & Basic Kit http://www.dontronics.com/dt006.html

Have just completed a DT001 board and having trouble getting it to 
work.

1. The board does not have the MAX232 and associated components
fitted 
(ie the MAX232, C8,9,10,11, R12,13, L5,6,7,8, R14,15,17). Also the 
Boot & Reset switch is not fitted.

2. The voltages are: PWR=16.43V; +5V=5.08V; Output of 78L12=13.6V

3. When powered without computer connected PWR & 5V LEDs ON and VDD & 
VPP LEDs OFF. With computer connected all 4 LEDs ON (this wrong I 
think).

4. Software is WPicProg16 V1.21.

5. With the computer connected the software reports the programmer 
connected to 378H (correct!).

6. If I erase the PIC16F84 in the DT001 ZIF socket, the VDD LED goes 
out and the VPP LED blinks and the software reports that the PIC is 
erased.

7. With a HEX file loaded and I read the PIC, the VDD LED goes out
and 
the VPP LED blinks and the software reports the data read into the 
buffer with the values in the window returning to 3FFH. (this appears 
to be working OK).

8. If I load the HEX file again and attempt to write to the PIC the 
following occurs: 

the VDD LED goes out and the VPP LED blinks and the software reports 
Program Verify Failed on Line 0, Programming Aborted.

both the VDD and VPP LEDs remain OFF until the error message is 
cleared.


I would appreciate any pointers or ideas as to the problem. I have 
checked soldering, component orientation & values and am looking for 
some assistance.

Thanks in anticipation

Hi All,

I'm new to this group. While reading previous postings I came across 
8051. Which simmstick board supports 8051 series of microcontroller?

Thanks.

DT103 & DT104 suits both Atmel AVR's (type AT90) and Atmel 8051 (type AT89).

The usual cause of this error is that the PIC isn't being switched to
'programming mode' - usually because the power supply is too low. Use
the hardware 'toggle' options to turn both VDD and VPP on, and measure
the voltage on the reset pin of the PIC - it really wants to be about 13
volts. What are you using for a PSU?, I use two 9 volt batteries in
series, and get this problem when the batteries go flat - if you are
using a 'wall-wart' type PSU, these mostly have terrible regulation and
the 16 volts could easily drop too low when programming.

Thank you
to Bruce, Leon, Andy and Giovanni who answered 
my posting, last week, on this forum.
The subject was about interrupts.
 
After your answers it was a lot easier to explain to my son.
Your answers were of great benefit to me as well because
every answer had a different point a view which
allowed the problem to be viewed with different angles.
Angles I never thought about in these termns

I learn a lot.
Good on you Simmstick team.
Cheers   Guy

Nigel,
Thank you for your help. I actually got the system to program a 
P16F84 after I sent out the help message. I increased the delay from 
10ms to 20ms (the maximum) in the hardware defintion table. The 
systems now writes PICs with no problems - a bit slower of course - 
25 seconds for a full PIC cf the normal 12 - 15 secs. I can live with 
that.

Presumably the delay is enough to allow the 12V AC Plug Pack (wall 
wart) voltage to settle or recover to the correct level. The plug 
pack is rated at 500 mA so I am surprised it is having trouble 
supplying a fraction of the current with such poor load regulation.

Thanks again

Robert

Is there anything for 8051 (40 pin DIP) target simmstick like DT101. 
DT103 and DT104 are just the motherboards.

Thanks.

Hi People,

I'm assembling the programmer portion of the DT001 board and while 
building it I'll be throwing a few questions to the group if I run 
into problems.

My first question is whether I can use 1N4001 instead of 1N4004 for 
D1 and D2? Reason is I don't want to buy 50 of 1N4004 while I have a 
few 1N4001. I think there is some voltage drop difference between 
1N4004 & 1N4001 but I'm not sure how much.

Please help.. TIA

Hi Leon,

I think the 400V and 100V is the PIV (Peak Inverse Voltage) and not 
the series drop voltage. In DT001 we are using the diodes as they 
drop about 1 volt.

I just had a look at the 1N4001 - 1N4007 datasheet from Fairchild and 
according to it all the rectifiers have same forward forward drop 
voltage of 1.1V @ 1.0A . So we can use 1N4001 instead of 1N4004.

Any comments?

The dt103 is a target board and we will have a dt107 soon which will
replace the dt103.

Robert,

Is the PSU 12V regulated, or unregulated? 12V unregulated is good, as it
is about 17V off load. A 12V regulated supply by the time it has gone
through  the bridge rectifier, does not cut it.

It will be OK.

My interpretation would be the DT001's and the like are motherboards.
The DT103, DT104 are processor carriers that plug into motherboards - or
stand alone of you want them to.

Hi Don,

I saw dt107 and it looks nice.

Thnaks.

Hi Leon,

I think the 400V and 100V is the PIV (Peak Inverse Voltage) and not
the series drop voltage. In DT001 we are using the diodes as they
drop about 1 volt.

Hello Don

Can I get the relay board as well the Parallel port interface board?

of course, but perhaps it should be in private email if you wish to make
a purchase.

SIMM101 is an embedded microcontroller board built upon the SimmStick
standard with surface mounted technique to get a small layout with only
the core functions of a Microcontroller AT90S2313. This unit is DT104
Compatible and is assembled and tested, not a kit.

Nice work Peter!

Did you program in Visual Basic? version?
Is it possible to access to the source code?

Thank you!

as far as I know Peter isn't on this list, so you may have to get his
email from that site for questions.
