BS2p40 question
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
I know the BS2p40 can poll, but can it goto a different part of the program, then go back to where it left off (something like the gosub), only when one of the inputs are in the right state?
thanks

Nope. ·You can use PRUN jump to another program slot, but you'll have to keep
track of where you are when your main program is running. ·This will never be
quite perfect, but you can get close by subdividing your main program into
tasks.

The BS2P24 offers I2C on ports P0/P1 and P8/P9.
Am I correct to assume that when the auxiliary I/O
on the BS2P40 are active, I can use I2C on ports X0/X1 and X8/X9?

anything with this device. I have a question regarding the pin number
references in the program. For pin P0 through P15 you simply say "high 0 -15".
For the 40 pin version the second 16 pins are labeled X0 - X15. Do I refer to
these pins as 16 - 32 or X0 - X15??
I have tried a number of possible schemes and I never generate a syntax error
even when using numbers outside the normal range. (ie:"high 75" won't generate a
syntax error.)
The manual makes no reference to the second set of pins (at least I couldn't
find any).
Anybody using the "Big P" shed some light on this for me??
Thanks

Pepper your program with "mainio" and "auxio" statements to switch
back and forth as needed. You can also use the "ioterm x" command,
which selects the main io bank when x=0 and the auxiliary bank when
x=1.

Thanks for the reply. I';; have to try that. I dont recall
seeing that anywhere....
I just rebuilt my hard drive and have resubscribed to the list
however the messages are not going to my email address for some
reason..

I don't HAVE a manual for the 2P or I would have. I have just downloaded
V1.32 of the editor and looked in the 2P commands reference and do indeed
now see the specific commands for the device. I am swapping out the BS2IC
for the 2P to gain I2C and 16 extra I/O pins for my R/C submarine project in
which I ran out of I/O and had to resort to bandaging the BS2 to make it do
all the things necessary.
I now also have started receiving posts from this group again. We're
back in business..
Thanks

I just joined the list and saw the discussion regarding sending the "P" chip
back for upgrades re: the I2C stuff. I missed the beginning of the discussion
so I was wondering about the upgrade. How to determine if I need the upgrade,
how much etc??

As Jon said, use the Identify (F6 or CTRL-I or click the Icon) to see
if you have version 1.3. For the record, the up-to-date version of
the BS2pe is 1.1.
The old syntax of the I2C commands required an address byte, but in
v1.3 the address argument is optional and data can immediately follow
the slaveID. That allows the Stamp to work with devices that don't
require an address.
old:
I2CIN pin, slaveID, address {\LowAddress}, [noparse][[/noparse]InputData]
new:
I2CIN pin, slaveID, {address {\LowAddress},} [noparse][[/noparse]InputData]
same syntax option for I2COUT. (the "{}" brackets indicate optional
arguments):
Version 1.3 also added two more read-only information bytes in
scratchpad space, byte 134 for the status of mainio/auxio, and byte
135 for the pollmode configuration and flag.
There were a couple of bug fixes too that you might need, even if you
don't need the I2C enhancements 1) locations 110 and 111 in
scratchpad RAM were trashed when executing a STORE instruction, 2)
the chip might go into programming wait mode if the Sin line happened
to be high at the instant a RUN command was executed, 3) overflow
from 65535 to 0 in a COUNT command could cause the chip to stop
execution. 4) an I2C chip could be improperly identified if another
one on the same I2C buss was suddenly disabled or failed to
acknowledge. Depending on what kind of programming you do, you might
never encounter those problems. But upgrade to 1.3 to be sure.

Well I have a 1.2 chip and I am using an I2C chip in my project (R/C
submarine) but the I2C device (DS1307 RTC) appears to work ok so should I
let a sleeping dog lie and get on with my life or are the I2C "issues" going
to be life threatening to my project????
Thanks, Mike B.

pointed out this is no longer required. The "issue" affects the PCF8574
specifically, and similar devices that have no internal addresses (this
is not the case with your DS1307). If you do need ever additional IO,
skip the [noparse][[/noparse]wimpy] PCF8574 and use the Microchip MCP23016 -- it's a much
better device (and has internal addresses so it won't be affected by
your 1.2 firmware).
And as I stated in another post, the 1.3 firmware works a bit better
with "smart" devices like the Devantech compass and SRF-08 sonar.
Okay, if I haven't made it perfectly clear, there is nothing wrong with
BS2p modules pre revision 1.3. We simply made improvements where we
could to make a better product.
