It will have all of the commands as the uLCD + the following: http://www.dontronics.com/micro-lcd_mk2.html Don... -- Don McKenzie E-Mail Contact Page: http://www.dontronics.com/e-mail.html Micro,TTL,USB to 1.5" color LCD http://www.dontronics.com/micro-lcd.html USB,RS232 or TTL to VGA Monitor http://www.dontronics.com/micro-vga.html World's smallest USB 2 TTL Conv http://www.dontronics.com/micro-usb.html From support2005 at dontronics.com Wed Dec 14 03:04:44 2005 From: support2005 at dontronics.com (Don McKenzie) Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2005 19:04:44 +1100 Subject: [SimmStick_Group] Latest News. Message-ID: <439FD21C.4000702@dontronics.com> Hi Gang, please read: http://www.dontronics.com/closed_advice.html I'll be away for a few weeks. If I don't catch up with you individually before then, I wish you all a merry Christmas from all of the Dontronics staff, and hope you have a good year in 2006. Don't forget we update/increment all of our email addresses in January 2006. Cheers Don... ===== Edition 62 Newsletter To Here 14-Dec-2005 ====== 14-Dec-2005 Been selling on the web since 1993, and have finally moved towards setting up a serious shopping cart. Added the little picture below, as it is a long way off being finished, and we don't need people testing the forms for us just yet. This has been in the pipe line for many years, with about 7 or 8 people making promises, but never fully delivering. We simply paid for an off the shelf cart that was close to what we needed, and are currently undertaking many custom modifications, and tweaks. Uses MySql, and PHP. However I feel it will be anything from 3 to 6 months before it is fully operational, as there is a lot of work to be completed. http://www.dontronics.com/graphics/!newshop.jpg 14-Dec-2005 Pocket PC Versions now available: Virtins Sound Card Instrument consists of Virtins Sound Card Oscilloscope, Virtins Sound Card Spectrum Analyzer and Virtins Sound Card Signal Generator. http://www.dontronics.com/virtins.html Oct-2005 4D Systems Micro-16F73 Module is an assembled and tested surface mounted PIC16F73, ST232 RS232 tranceiver, LM78L05 5V regulator, 20Mhz crystal , Rx, Tx LEDs and provision for 24LC256 eeprom (not included), Real Time Clock RTC (not included), and 3V Battery Holder (not included) http://www.dontronics.com/micro-module.html Oct-2005 Joe's Cat PICDIS PIC Disassembler And Hex File Tool is a command line tool capable of reading several different HEX file formats, and is useful if your Toolkit or your compiler does not include a PIC disassembler or if you simply prefer command-line tools. Recovery of code where compiler tools or processor(s) are obsolete or no longer available. Instead of going through the trouble of re-installing your programming tools, PICDIS is self contained and may probably recover what you are looking for quicker. You can read and merge several HEX format file types (example Intel, Motorola). You can import HEX format file types which may be of odd start locations or long lengths which can cause problems for some chip programmers, file editors or readers. http://www.dontronics.com/picdis.html Oct-2005 4D Systems Micro-LCD Module is equivalent to a Micro-VGA Adapter with a tiny 1.5? full colour LCD module attached. It supports the same command set as the Micro-VGA Adapter. There are possibly thousands of applications for the embedded market where the microVGA and the display are integrated all into one. Display text, graphics, images all in full colour. We can also have a touch screen option etc. http://www.dontronics.com/micro-lcd.html Oct-2005 New Lower Price The U401 USB interface The U4x1 devices now support stepper motor control. The U4x1's are USB solutions that are pre-built, pre-programmed, and pre-tested and will get you interfacing your PC to various devices in very little time! There is no USB device assembly, no driver development, and no firmware to write. In many cases the U4x1 can be plugged into an experimenter's breadboard and circuit interfacing can begin immediately. Demo software applications can be used "right out of the box". http://www.dontronics.com/u401.html ===== Edition 61 Newsletter To Here 24-Sep-2005 ====== -- Don McKenzie E-Mail Contact Page: http://www.dontronics.com/e-mail.html Micro,TTL,USB to 1.5" color LCD http://www.dontronics.com/micro-lcd.html USB,RS232 or TTL to VGA Monitor http://www.dontronics.com/micro-vga.html World's smallest USB 2 TTL Conv http://www.dontronics.com/micro-usb.html From support2005 at dontronics.com Wed Dec 14 17:41:29 2005 From: support2005 at dontronics.com (Don McKenzie) Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2005 09:41:29 +1100 Subject: [SimmStick_Group] M128/DT007/DT107 In-Reply-To: <43A0950C.7060902@bordernet.co.nz> References: <43A0950C.7060902@bordernet.co.nz> Message-ID: <43A09F99.4080906@dontronics.com> Craig Young wrote: > Hi Guys, > > I have a DT007 dev board with a DT107 simstick plugged into it.
