there is a pwm code around for the mm1 does any body have any ideas about running it on the mm2 i was wondering if it would work or could be improved on the old one... just throwing ideas around atm ...any input or links would be appreciated..thx |

@blade, Need some more info mate, ... what did the program do? ... I a assuming Colour Maximite 1 and 2 (mm1 and mm2)? ... what is the program you envisage using the code for? ... how does PWM fit in with that? Glad to assist if I can with more info. Doug. Have a look in fruitoftheshed and seach for PWM. There is a program there PWM.BAS but it has no comments at all and is pretty obscure as to what it dows. D.

yes that is the code i found.it has 3 voltage reference inputs for power rails of the unit .. it has adjustable mark space ratio as well as frequency..but the min and max adjust values i am not 100% certain of and dont know.. like it will output in text on the three voltage inputs..to the screen .. i have an mm1 and have dug it out of my junk box but where i got it from i a dont remember..i been sorting out my gear..i`ts a long story..i was wanting more functionality out of it like maybe some graphics gauges on the screen as well as the text..i seen the latest silicon chip mage and realized that the mm1 was in with my junk when i finally found it..so i started to look for codes and stuff.. it does not work there is no voltage coming out of the regs on the board,,it has strange regulators..i have no manual for it either,,so i am just going to order the mm2 next month..i have other ideas for using one of these as well..but the mm2 is quite different from the pics i am seeing..with respect to the mm1..from the pics i see of the mm2 it looks like i would have to put the cro over the gpios.i dont have the magazine yet..for themm2..but time will turn out maybe some really great projects to use it for..i also dont know if the code matches up ..or is compatible.. is this of any advantage to you guys.. |

I'll have a look at PWM.BAS and try to work out what it is doing as well as converting to CMM2 and adding comments, Doug. ... almost all of the Maximites, the MicromMites, the MM Extremes, the ArmMites, the PicoMite and loving it! |

 they should have a thank you emojo thanks doug. edit: what is the power supply input and current for the mm1 pls i put 5 volt into it @4 amps..did i get that right is the a link for the schematic at all pls thx.  2Nd edit..the crystal has lifted i have to re-solder it...???freq???

just to clarify - are you thinking of using a CMM2 to control the power supply of a tesla coil?! this does not bode well for the life of the CMM2... cheers, rob :-) |

sorry i should have added more detail..and no sepeerate supply are required my aim is to program it to make music mostly ,,i have seen it done before but only video clip`s showing it in action not exactly shore if the color maxi mite2 can do it at all but i have other prospects but this was my firs aim project 4 now ..and if i can get somebody to re-code the program above or even a different program from my first thoughts ,, making it more versatile as a pwm display controller "graphics on the screen wise" that would be great "..but one step at a time pls...thank you so isolate via capacitors i guess or whatever may be suggested maybe an small isolation transformer in some manner may be worth looking into....output wise or with some method you guys do the stuff way better than me if it was linux based but it is not or is it even capable of linux.of some degree..???.i have to get my hands on some audino books i did have some but only found one so far and it was not really of any advantage.. |

Hi Blade, That Photo that you posted, though a bit hard to see, looks exactly like the Original Maximite. No colour Monochrome only. It has two regulators on board one down to 5V then another down to 3.3V. Input voltage is from 7v to 15v. Geoff has a lots more details on his website Monochrome Maximite Steve Edited 2020-07-24 08:33 by VK4SMC Steve VK4SMC |

...thx for the link yes i dont have the new cmm2 as yet ..i have to see what is wrong or if i can get it to work i`ll have a play and have a read how to install the firm ware for it also..if i cannot get it to work i`ll just wait till i get an cmm2Edited 2020-07-24 09:20 by blade |

Is this the type of device you are using, if so any standard audio output device will be ok as an input to create sound. I have built several that work OK. The audio output of the CMM1 should be OK.
