Well, my other board broke, and all the other homade ones·I have are not equipped with a vga port. Just load the EEPROM onto both boards, and connect them together with some wires, and follow the instructions in help.
(The Connect button isn't there, you have to press v. To set the tx and rx pins, press p. to get to settings, press c)
Tell me how it goes!hop.gif
(No SD interface or DOS Prompt yet, but i'm working on it!)

I could give more info, but I don't want to spoil it. It is the most glitch free piece of spin I have ever written!

    I tried your code and I get Error: 0001 on both demo boards.

    My setup:
    Demo board 1: Host
    ·PS2 mouse
    ·PS2 Keyboard
    ·VGA Monitor
    ·TX Pin 00
    ·RX Pin 01

    Demo board 2: Slave
    ·PS2 mouse
    ·PS2 Keyboard
    ·VGA Monitor
    ·TX Pin 01
    ·RX Pin 00

    Tried it again with ground connected between two boards. Same error.

    Question, can the code just exsist in RAM or do you have to download to EEPROM? Probably just RAM as you have to modify settings in·after it's been loaded·anyway, (TX, RX, Host, Slave)

    Used "p" to set pin numbers
    Used "c" to set Master/Slave
    Used "v" to start program

    Anything I'm missing?

    Hmm... not that I Know of.. you do have to activate the chips within 5 sec of each other, I have been Using Parallax Serial Terminal to make myself look like a chip up to this point. It is 115200 baud. you set it up as a Host. when you recieve a 1 you send a 2, then it sends 3 you send it the chip version and it sends you it's version, and then it says "connected".
    (Either·RAM or EEPROM, it doesn't matter...)

    K, thanks for doing this for me Hover1, I'm not exactly ready to dish out $80 for another demo board just so I can test my programs.

    Working things out but... I'm watching Webinar from Parallax right now. I do have them connected with success. Check in a bit.

    Crikey! I just spent 20 minutes writing up my findings and I was kicked off the forums for 10 minutes. It wouldn't remember my login!! I lost it all. When I calm down I'll try and get to it later. Spent WAY too much time on this so far. And I only get "Connect"? Is there anything else?

    No, there's nothing else yet. I plan to have the host chip sending calculations and programs to the slave chip to run.
    So, you did get the "connected" message?
    Sorry about the lockout! I hope it doesn't happen again.
