BS2p40

argmafia

Is this their a fairly inexpensive carrier board that I can use to program my BS2p40?

argmafia

I had a BS2e and I changed it to a BS2p40, I had the Pocket Watch B running from the BS2e just fine, and when I hooked it up to the BS2p40 the time displayed on the LCD is 0:00:00. Here is the code, is there something I need to change?

'

---

[noparse][[/noparse] Set the Time ]

---

' To set time, change the values to current time, then run program
' [noparse][[/noparse]$55,$00,ss,mm,hh,dd,mo,yl,yh]

SEROUT ToPWB,PWBBaud,[noparse][[/noparse]$55,$00,00,45,08,8,3,05,20]


main:

'Get time from PWB:
SEROUT ToPWB, PWBBaud, [noparse][[/noparse]$55,$12] 'send request for time
SERIN FromPWB, PWBBaud, 100, nodat, [noparse][[/noparse]ss,mm,hh,dd,mo,yl,yh] 'populate variables with response from PWB

nodat:

' Check AM/PM & set flag
IF HH>12 THEN
HH=HH-12: PM=1
ELSE
PM=0
ENDIF

' Write time to line 1 of the LCD
SEROUT TX, LCDBaud, [noparse][[/noparse]LcdLine2]
SEROUT TX, LCDBaud, [noparse][[/noparse]" ",DEC hh,":",DEC2 mm,":",DEC2 ss]

IF PM=1 THEN 'If PM var set then DONT print AM
SEROUT TX, LCDBaud, [noparse][[/noparse]" pm "]
ELSE
SEROUT TX, LCDBaud, [noparse][[/noparse]" am "]
ENDIF

does it have to do with the baud rate??

argmafia

Nevermind... I found it... but on the BS2p40 how do you designate auxilary I/O's, for example on the regular port you set
HIGH 0 for P0, how would you do it for X0 for the BS2p40

Tracy Allen

Well, it is all around the BS2p40. The baud rate question already solved. To access x0 to x16, preface the command with AUXIO, or, IOTERM 1:

HIGH 0 ' main pin p0
AUXIO
TOGGLE 0 ' aux pin x0
MAINIO
LOW 0 ' main again
x = 1
IOTERM x ' aux
TOGGLE 0

This is all explained in the manual and also in the help facility included with the STAMPW program.

I don't know about the carrier board.

I have another question... when checking the syntax on my code I get a message saying "EEPROM full", I was told there are different slots of memory, how do I go about using those slots?

argmafia

I got it.... now I have a question about the Pocket Watch B. I was wondeing if there is a way to set the time on an LCD using the PWB without it reseting everytime we turn it off? Thanx!!!

if i am trying to run a stepper motor at four different times using the PWB, how would you set the program up, I can turn it at one time, but when i try turning it at three different times, it doesnt turn
