| + | hmmmm...very interesting! |
| − | Hi!
| + | Thanks <a href=http://bigoogle.com> google </a> |
| − | Very glad at least one guy did show some enthousiasm about the project!
| |
| − | Currently, as the project was left (and will probably stay....):
| |
| − | Hardware is all good. The board with gerbers can be sent to most major Fab House and you will receive a functionnal design. Proto1 was tested and around 5 glitches have been found and corrected for Proto2, wich was never tested but should be 100% functionnal.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Firmware of the 4 DSPics is symetrical, and is "complete". It interface to Servos and DCs. The input encoder, if I recall, is not done, but the code is there and all C, so it should be easy to just copy-paste a snippet from somewhere else into the project.
| |
| − | The Firmware for the multi-IO PIC18 is complete, and you will be able to play with all IO.
| |
| − | The Drivers to communicate to the PIC and DSPIC from the kernel is done and documented.
| |
| − | Ah, yeah, we have drivers for Ethernet/CAN/Sound.
| |
| − | We also have a complete compiled kernel ready to load onto the board with various "demonstration" mode.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Most of the work left is polishing here and there, as the firmware/driver part was done is haste. Most of the things work 100%, and will need no touch, but some functions (like the Quadrature encoders) are plain missing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The part where more work is to be done is on the Integrated Devellopment Environment (IDE). Shure, you can use KDevellopp, Eclipse, or any cross compiler out there. You could even download some dev.boards' software and load it onto ARMUS and compile natively from there. We had in mind (read the article) to creat a simple and easy IDE for 1st year undergrads, so maybe it's not necessary for you :P
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you want the =WHOLE= project CVS for you to enjoy, I have it and could send it to you trough FTP or any other way you prefer. I guess I could also just mail a DVD. It weights around 700MB, and there is ton of french comment and files (as the team, in Quebec, was native french) but I could translate any part you feel is critical for specific applications.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you want to work on this "on your own", most of the board is based on atmel's AT91RM9200EK and AT91RM9200DK . Their demonstration Kernels should run as-is with the same procedure as Atmel's.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Just to say: what do you plan to use the board for?
| |
| − | Thanks for your interest!

| − | '''Wow.'''
| |
| − | This is too cool to stick on a shelf a let it gather dust.
| |
| − | I want to see projects like this "ratchet forward".
| |
| − | I want to allow people to build off last year's work rather than starting all over again from scratch -- so in a few years we can finish amazingly cool projects that are far too complicated for one team to finish in a year.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I think this [[ARMUS Embedded Linux Board]] might be perfect for a CNC machine.
| |
| − | The LinuxCNC software runs on Linux, so it ought to run on this Linux board.
| |
| − | And the DSPics should be able to drive the power transistors that run the motors on the CNC machine, and track the position of the routing head.
| |
| − | | |
| − | And not just a single CNC machine -- a series of open-source CNC machine designs. Designs that anyone can build, improve, and then share those improvements with the next builder.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Aloha David,
| |
| − | Roger here, I'm still puzzeled as to how to create a new article. I uploaded an image file for the 723 regulator (my article subject). This went into an "Image File page" automatically, OK. I added it to the Voltage Regulators section of Components/Integrated Circuits, OK. But I couldn't figure out how to make a document like there is for LT1528 OO. I put the info I have into the discussion page for the image, but that is only a temporary solution.
| |
| − | | |
| − | How does one create a new article page that isn't a "talk" page for something else? Beside the info on the IC, I have a couple of documents that are in-depth on using the device. These should be near each other as well as near the info document above. How would I go about setting up a "723" sub-chapter of "Integrated Circuits"? I guess that's as clear as I can make the question.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I would also like to suggest a modification to the linkage. I'm reading the synopsis on the LT1528, I want to find oout more, so I click on the image, but instead of taking me to an in-depth article, it takes me to the image file page. There I have to look at the Links to find the article (which is only identified as LT1528). I'd like to be taken to the article instead of the image. Take me to the image only if there is no article. Of course this may be more difficult to make happen--I don't know how the site is structured. My web programming is very basic. Still, I think this makes sense from a user's POV.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Aloha, Roger.
| |
| − | You're doing great.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I agree that it would be nice if clicking on the picture of the LT1528 took you directly to the article about the LT1528.
| |
| − | I don't know how to fix it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Do you see the "Help" link in the navigation bar on the left side of every page?
| |
| − | I think the page it brings up needs a few more tips.
| |
| − | But I want to keep it short and simple.
| |
| − | If I explained every detail, it would become a bloated 100-page document that nobody would read.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are already far too many bloated 100-page documents about electronics.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I hope that you, dear reader, and other volunteers will make Open Circuits into a place where people can learn to do amazing things.
| |
| − | A place that avoids forcing people to learn 100 irrelevant details before learning the one thing they need to know before they get back to building their robot (or whatever).
| |
| − | A place that never makes people throw away good ideas, because we never confuse people into believing that it would be far more complicated and expensive to build than it really is.
| |
| − | | |
| − | p.s.:
| |
| − | Picking the name of a page is a bit of an art.
| |
| − | Since we want to refer to a page a lot, that's easier when the name is very short.
| |
| − | People new to wiki always pick names that are too long, or have too many capital letters.
| |
| − | Fortunately, it's very simple to rename pages.
| |
| − | You rename pages by clicking on the incorrectly-named "Move this page" button.
| |
| − | (I don't know how to fix that, either).

| |

| − | Speaking of linkage, making links is one of the most important parts of this wiki.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Whenever you find one article mentioning some other article, you can click on that word to get more detail.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If that word is not already clickable (underlined and colored), please make it clickable.
| |
| − | To make a word clickable, hit the "edit" button at the top of the page.
| |
| − | Then add double brackets <nowiki>"[["</nowiki> and <nowiki>"]]"</nowiki> around that word.
| |
| − | (Some people recommend only making the first mention of that word clickable).
| |
| − | | |
| − | The cheatsheet ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Cheatsheet ) calls this an "internal link".
| |
| − | | |
| − | Here's the trick: you can add those brackets to any word, making it into a link.
| |
| − | Some of those links will go to pages that don't exist yet.
| |
| − | | |
| − | What happens when you click on one of those links to a page that doesn't exist yet?
| |
| − | | |
| − | I'm not going to tell you what happens.
| |
| − | Go find out for yourself.

| |
| − | Aloha David,
| |
| − | Roger again; I want to thank you for the info and hints. I'm catching on. I got my component description linked to the caption under the image on the Components/Voltage Regulators page. And I created a "New Article" which I then "moved" to the title of my article. And my article has a link to the description and that has a link to the article, so I'm getting the hang of it. I have several schematics and PC artwork images to upload and link to my article, plus a second article I want to publish (I didn't write it, but I've been unable to find it on the internet--I have a xeroxed copy from 1986 or so and that is the only existing one as far as I know). That article also has several images that go along with it. I wondered about the feasability of uploading a .pdf file (I made one of it) to this site. Would that work? Should I even try? I don't want to screw anything up, but wouldn't that be a lovely thing if we could upload .pdf files? Just a thought.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Again, Thanks very much, I've made some progress.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Aloha, Roger.
| |
| − | You are welcome.
| |
| − | Have you tried creating a link to an article that doesn't exist yet, just to see what happens when you click on that link? For example, the [[switching regulator]] page that I'm going to start in a few days.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I don't know about this article that you didn't write.
| |
| − | If the original author wants people to post it widely, and doesn't mind us editing it, then great, let's post it (and give correct attribution).
| |
| − | But some writers go a little crazy when they see that someone random stranger has copied their stuff and posted it to the internet.
| |
| − | (That's why there's that "DO NOT SUBMIT COPYRIGHTED WORK WITHOUT PERMISSION!" note at the bottom of each Edit page).
| |
| − | | |
| − | I wouldn't mind you posting a .pdf file (that you wrote) temporarily.
| |
| − | It's better than nothing.
| |
| − | But I would expect someone to eventually convert it to text-and-images.
| |
| − | That makes it much easier for the next person to improve the it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Thank you again for adding useful information to Open Circuits.
| |
| − | I hope you won't mind people "improving" the things you post here.

| − | Aloha David,
| |
| − | Sorry for the delay, I had a loonng job and then our cable modem failed. At least they swapped us a new one free (hooray RoadRunner). But I want to explain the article: "The Many-Talented 723" by Glenn Prescott. I came across this as a xerox copy sometime around 1985. It was evidently published in a magazine for radio enthusiasts--there are some ads on the last page for radio gear. But the name of the magazine isn't on any of the pages. I Googled for the article and got no returns. I think it is a very good article as far as describing the IC and how to use it. It helped me when I was a beginner, so I want to share it. However, I don't want anyone to get into trouble over it. I just did another search on Google and all the returns refer to my mention of it here on Open Circuits. Like I said, this is a copy that I have, no clue as to the magazine that published it, no copyright date, no nothin'. But I will leave it to your judgement if it is a risk. I still have my own article to get uploaded along with images. I will concentrate on getting mine done before doing anything with the copied article.

| − | Unless the author has given permission to publish it, I think a better idea would be to write your own article, citing the one you're talking about further details.

| − | | |
| − | I suggest that ip blocks (see [[Spammer ip]]) like 217.141.249.0/24 (Interbusiness Italy) are used for any ip that spam on sight. And that users from such address blocks are blocked from doing any edits. But may create a user account and then edit. This is due that most spam is made from accountless ip addresses. This will allow everybody to still edit while preventing most spam. Maybe it could be made possible for people without sysop access to add ip-ban?

I'd rather spend my time designing a nifty new circuit than removing spam. Spam me if I've suggested the unthinkable.--[[User:Yzf600|Yzf600]] 17:25, 28 August 2007 (PDT)

| − | '''Aloha from Oviedo, Florida''' Yesterday I changed my email in My Preferences, to reflect my current address. I waited for the confirmation email, but it didn't arrive for several hours. I tried re-sending it a few times, but eventually stopped watching for it. So of course, this morning there were several confirmation emails sitting in my inbox. Most had expired, but one was still valid and so I am confirmed. I found a message that my Talk page had changed. Someone had replaced your first reply with a bunch of gay porn sites. I was able to get the proper text back in place and noticed you had been doing the same over the last several weeks. I just wanted to thank you and say I hope to be able to do more of my own weeding in this area. I guess I should check the rest of my posts.

| − | Just looking around again to suggest an other extension. You know, since there is not much effort to maintain the software around here there might be a one shot thing to get rid of spam. Seems to work nice on the [http://wpkg.org/ WPKG wiki]... Extension is: [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit ConfirmEdit] Not as userfriendly as a spam blacklist, but what do I care anymore? :) --SebDE
