Hey all,
So I've finally gotten back to playing with my *mites and am at the point of trying to run on the micromite hardware.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the micromite (as sold by silicon chip) doesn't have a B: or A: drive at all. So it only has "memory" for one program.
The question is how do I get my program from the maximite SSD to the micromite's memory
Thought I'd ask before trying to trick teraTerm into "typing" out the program.
Thanks,
CR |

Thanks, John.
I dare say you saved me a fair chunk of time there.

CR,
Better still, (imho) is to use TassyJims MMEdit - because there are quite a lot of differences in commands, to be able to view your code with commands etc colour coded and the ability to download and run works just great. Just upload all your Maximite programs from the SD card into the PC then open them in MMEdit. Also included is the ability to move files backwards and forwards from the Maximite so if you wanted, you could connect both machines to MMEdit.
Cheers,
Panky
... almost all of the Maximites, the MicromMites, the MM Extremes, the ArmMites, the PicoMite and loving it! |

I fully agree with panky on this one - definitely worth using TassyJims brilliant MMEdit as it is so much easier for transferring programs from your MaxiMite to a MicroMite.
And yes, you are correct about the memory containing just one program (with no drives). Yet another reason for using MMEdit.

having a little trouble getting I2C to work on the micromite.
I'm seeing the normal hex 71 address I expect followed by a few extra bits of data.
It almost looks like its using 10bit addresses, or its cutting off most of the bits following the address.
Anything obvious that I'm missing here?

What are you trying to talk to?
EEPROM?

The same displays I've had working just fine on the maximiteV1.
I got some more kits this morning, I'll report back once I've built one of them up.

So it turn's out I'm a big dummy...the I2C device wasn't powered so the ack bit wasn't being sent back.
For the Record: On the Rigol DS1054 I2C decoding this shows as a write block with the correct address shown followed by a skinny block that just has a question mark.
Hopefully that will help someone who follows |
