Tom... Thanks for your helpful comments! Unfortunately the terminal application is not necessarily second nature to me. Sadly that may be some of my problem. I was wondering if you could be a bit more verbose. ??? �ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1. ??? I'm not sure what all that is. Coul...

Sometime in 2008 I got into microcontrollers and bought several ZX-24Ps, a USB-TTL Interface Module and a nice Parallax project board. I used them on several projects at the time. I’ve since been distracted from that interest but now am needing to get back into it. My father-in-law gave me an Arduin...

Ok here is some more info on the resetting problem... I've updated the firmware on the ZX to 5.1. I reinstated all the tasks so the program was fully operational again. Then I started Debug.Printing all the "System.TaskHeadRoom(taskStack)" for the all the tasks running. I found that nun of...

Wouldn't it work to showing the values of System.TaskHeadRoom for each task and find out which taskstack is being over run? Also I'm trying to find where in the Language Lib. talks about the StackLimit directive. The following sentence references it but I cant find it anywhere. :( ZBasic System Libr...

Well after a few hours into the test the ZX reset again. This is the test with the Screen and Buttons task shut down. Back to the drawing board. To shut the BattTest task down all that is nessessary is not to start a test. But then nothing is happening and the ZX is in a waiting state. :? Not sure w...

You do realize that we'll just keep spewing ideas until you tell us you've got it working properly... Yes it seems that is the case and let me just say how appreciative I am that you guys are willing to stick and hang with me! I usually only have the weekends to work on this project but your enthus...

Thanks for all the input guys! I guess it's only far to spend a moment explaining a bit of programs design. At the time of my last post I didn't have the time to do so. I'll try to stay brief. I've built a small battery charger that runs on it's own independent of the ZX. The goal is to run a 12v ba...

Any one have ideas why my ZX-24p is resetting or sometimes locking up? Without going into a lot of detail the program only acts up when I leave it running for several hours. Under testing it works fine but when I set it to run for a long period I come back only to find it has locked up or reset. I'm...

I'm sure I'm missing something... I'm new to micro controllers... I'm using a zx-24p. I'm wanting to write an array and some variables to program (persistent) memory but I'm not sure what address to use. How do I know I'm not going to step on the program area? I've looked at the Ref & Lib manual...
