TSL230 Driver

MacGeek117

I just bought a TSL230 from Parallax and the BS2 code works perfectly so I'm trying to get it to work on my Prop, but whenever I run this program, all I get is a zero. The '230 is hardwired onto a Prop Protoboard.

You know there's a TSL230 object on the exchange right? I put it there a few weeks ago so Propeller users have an object to go with the RS item. It includes a simple demo and an advanced auto-ranging demo.

Paul, a flat text file of exchange files in the stickies would be nice. Updated every five changes in the data, say.

How do I modify the program so it works if the s1 scale pin has a lower number,·i.e. comes before·than the s0 pin?

sorry, I'm not quite following what you are asking.

I hard wired the chip so the s0 goes to p12 and s1 goes to p11. (necessary because of where I soldered the chip) How do I modify the code to work with this?

I assume you asking for modification of the autoranging version?

OK the major issue is your reversal of S0 and S1, before each "outa := scale << cbase" you should do " scale ><= 2", this will reverse the two bits to your configuration.

cbase should be set to 11.

Thanks, Paul! I will try the mod when I get my Protoboard put back together.

I don't want to sound critical, but that's the function of the search field on the Obex. A person looking for a driver should search for it on obex, then use http://search.parallax.com to see if anything is posted on the forums. Jeff is the admin of·Obex, if you'd like to put another item on his plate and slow down IDE development even more, I can ask him if he'll do it.

Oh well, like Ms Latella said, 'Never mind'.

I was sneakily seeking to avoid making the trip to the Obex a monthly or bi-weekly affair just to keep up with what's been posted.

So if we're gonna bog Jeff down, let's get him to put the whole works into a zip and let us download the works all at once. [noparse]:)[/noparse]

The list already exists . Goto Obex, click on View All Objects, then click on published, it will re-order the objects according to the date they were submitted. The only thing which falls through is updates to existing objects, but a new "updated" field will be added to the Obex when we implement the Licensing Agreement.
