that board looks good.. I think i'll give a shot with manual routing.. my board just has a zx-328 (trying to get a zx-328nu but cannot get any response from anyone at oak micros.. are they still in business?) i'll have the xport direct, a ds-1267, a few pullup resistors and some caps N such and some...

Ive decided to use the Xport direct.. neat little module.. getting it the 3.3 volts it needs wont be too tough.. with the enhancements made to the ZX chips in the last couple years the ATN line isnt required so I should be able to use tom port redirector and still download code into my boards.. or I...

Ok so i have been reading the forums and it seems most of the posts about ethernet are how to download firmware to the devices and the trials, tribulations associated with.... that does concern me although it seems like the ATN character method works in this regard and has been well tested... now on...

a friend and I were talking last night and the compressor has an aluminum case on it.. so im thinking I might be able to see the stator magnets with a sensitive hall effect sensor.. its a standard sanyo 3 phase mini-compressor and motor information is available as well as a cut-away so I may be able...

Ok so im working on the next phase of my HVAC project.. the first phase is going really well and the ZX-328n's do a wonderful Job!.. i want to measure the operating speed of the A/C unit's Compressor... im looking for the RPM of the compressor.. sounds easy if it was an external fan or such but thes...

works like a champ... yeah I was all gung hop thinking I could copy from one instance to another but that didnt work for me either.. I ended up getting it.. so im off and running now... first time ive ever used expresspcb.. but figured i ought to use their software since im planning to get my boards...

im trying to draw up real schematics using the ExpressSCH and express PCB software.. all I could find was an express file showing suggested circuitry for the ZX-328n device.. so i tried to use it in a schematic and it all shows up as one component so the netlist doesnt work right.. is there anything...

I can see from this ive been going about things a little wrong... I tend to define all my variables in the beginning of the module even though some of them may only be used in one routine... so I really should only define those variables in the declarations part of a module that need to pass data fr...

so the fact that I use a lot of variables could be a reason why I use so much space for such a small program.... for instance im likely to do this: sub main() call foo1 call foo2 end sub sub foo1() dim x as integer for x =1 to 20 ... do stuff here next end sub sub foo...

this all makes sense now.. I guess I thought a timer was a read only property that a routine would use to get timing for I/O.. so I assumed that all I/O could occur simultaneously and on multiple pins at once... I was running a task that talked to the HVAC unit using inputcapture and outputcapture.....

I changed my option heapsize and was able to clear the warning but not sure if this was a good idea or not??

the program seems to be running normally now..

Ok i found the problem... it looks like doing 1 wire in one task or subroutine while there is outputcaptureex or inputcaptureex going on causes issues.. im guessing with timer0.... when I set it up to suspend the routine that talks to the A/C units while I set the resolution it worked like a champ.....

im getitng this error compiling for my 328n... I thought I had 2048 bytes of RAM... and yet iots telling me im out of task stack space... Warning(13): task stack for "Main" is too small, 223 bytes needed, 134 bytes available No errors. Target device: ZX328n,...

that makes total sense and my value (though the temp seems low) is working better now... I just cant seem for the life of me to get the resolution changed to 9 bits... this is the code im trying to do it with... but seems my config register never "takes" f = reset1wire(supplypin&am...
