VDrive2 Driver Needed

Mike Huselton

I have just received a Viniculum VDrive2 module in the mail today. I found a driver titled "Vinculum SPI Driver" in the Object Exchange.

(1) Does anyone have experience with the "Vinculum SPI Driver"?

(2) Does anyone have a specific driver for the VDrive2?

I'm just doing due diligence research before I haul off and re-invent the ham sandwich (mmm - ham sandwich).

The VDrive2 is essentially the same as the Parallax Memory Stick Datalogger. Anything written for the Datalogger should work for the VDrive2.

Thank you, Mike.

Look at object http://obex.parallax.com/objects/542/


I have 2 Vdrive1 modules, but they have far too many jumpers for such a vague documentation.·After Mike's comment I may try to plug them in. My driver is only UART (which is·inherently faster·with Vinculum·than SPI) and is bullet proof with Parallax Memory Stick Datalogger.·If you take the trouble ·to try 'DataLogger_UART_Driver' with Vdrive2, I would like to hear about your experiencies. Thanks beforehands,

PS: If anybody knows about how to use those jumpers of Vdrive1, that would be appreciated, too.

Cess,

I looked at that driver. I may try it out today. Also, look at the Coridium site. It has a driver for Vdrive2 in the Code subcategory.
I have 3 of the Coridium processors, working at 60 mhz. Very nice for high-speed front-end replacements for the Propeller.
I prefer to use a mix of microprocessors, each matched to its capabilities.

I really want a driver that uses the PLL clocks 1 & 2, for 160/2 or slower speeds (Nyquist sampling limit).
