 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Nope. I can't get it to be recognized at all, although the LED is pulsing so the processor is running. I tried the above technique, I also tried holding down BOOTP then pressing and releasing NRST (as mentioned on various sites). A second board works fine, just as expected so I assume I'm doing *something* right. :) I suppose it'll come in handy for lining up the sockets for PicoMites...

I guess I got too exited too early. I saw the VGAMite as an up to date 'practical' version of the original mono maximite - not meant for games and with a later version of MMBasic. When Peter made a PCB for it well... Thanks anyway Peter, it was an interesting project. Bill Keep safe. Live long and prosper. |

As Peter said all the important work is done, and has offered to make the source available to someone with the will and competence to finish it. Even if that doesn't happen they still make excellent embedded controllers as is. Much faster than the MX170. |

That may be true but there are already known bugs and without any on-going support mine will find a home in my junk box. Bill Keep safe. Live long and prosper. |

Mine will probably end up with CircuitPython on it and doing something or other. I doubt if it will end its days completely unloved in a drawer. :) Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

I would be grateful! I also would be ok if PCB turns out to be bigger size in the end. |

As far as I'm concerned the PCB size won't change as I don't have another case to design a board for. :) I find it fairly surprising that, out of all the plastic box designs that are out there, there are actually very few that a) suit this sort of project b) are easily available anywhere c) don't cost a fortune. I suppose the reason is that for commercial designs in quantity a custom box is very cheap. What we see on the market are either specially designed built-to-stock in relatively (only several hundred thousand in a production run) low quantities (expensive) or production overruns (to keep the cost down on sales of millions, hence cheap). I'll get back onto the BP version once I've finally sorted out the current version of the PicoMite VGA one.
