*NEW* USB Input/Output Board -- Fusion Brain - Page 57

Got mine today, too!
*Happy Dance*

Felt like Christmas with the box in a box in a box, but there was no doubt the contents were save that way. Hahaha!

Looking forward to hooking up everything and getting some quality play time in.

Ok, I am working on the software, and now the accuracy or number of decimal places for the analogue inputs can be set through the skin file. Default is 3 places of accuracy. For some sensors such as the temperature sensor, 3 places are not available, so the 3rd digit is just random fluff and means nothing.

The new skin setting for it is #DECIMALS# followed directly by an integer value. That is the number of digits after the period.

Woot! Mine came today as well! The multiple boxes were torture, and the actual brain is much smaller than I envisioned. I probably won't be able to play with it until the weekend though.

Got past the fear. A couple or 6 "Silver Bullets" and my fear vanished.

All jokes aside, thank you guys for all the hard work in getting these things out. I can't imagine the work, hours and time that you have put in so far. I look forward to working with this brain.

I ordered it for several reasons.
1: to help support this hobby and you guys
2: the Cool Factor
And lastly, so that I can learn more about computers and programming.

So again, thanks a bunch.

Um...I think they might have crossed some of the connections. Switch 1, 2, and 3 go on when 5, 6, and 7 are activated respectively. The real weirdness is that the LED's are 5, 6, and 7, too.

All the rest seem to be working like they should. If it was the pin and the led together, I'd guess it was software, but the pins don't match the led that's active.

If anyone else runs into this with theirs, let me know. It might be a defect in the boards.

See below - this is a defect on all boards.

Ok... Well... My bad. I have been testing everthing by using the LEDs. I have not actually hooked a relay up to it. So the outputs all work, they just dont line up with the LED's. The actual functionality of the boards is not harmed, and the LED's will most likely be hidden anyways. To disable your LEd's, take the jumper off the header below the PIC (by the xtal). I will map which is which tonight.

I am very sorry for this. But the actual functionality is not harmed, just not as easy to read the outputs.

Will be first on the list for version 2.

Uh..When exactly is it night time, cause right now its 12:05AM...

Well I am Mountain Time.

It's 11:12pm here.

Also, usually "tonight" to me means before I go to bed which will be around 6am to 9am MST...

Right now I am working software side...

Do you need this right now? I can get it cranked out soon if you do. I am just in coding mojo right now.

let that mojo flo man, led's in the morning

You get your box yet? I marked a big 'ol 2 and 3 on the ESD bags so you know which is which. Once you take them out, there is no way of knowing, so you may want to put a little sticker on one of them or something.

turbocad6 · 07-03-2007, 01:30 AM

nope, didn't get it yet. A little sticker? I'm going to draw a big 1, 2 & 3 on them with a sharpie

, well I think that I signed you up for tracking updates via USPS's site, but I havent gotten any, and I signed up too along with everyone else! USPS makes me angry sometimes.

And those metallic sharpies (expecially the silver ones) are awesome. I use those for everything.

I think they will show up over the PIC the best.

turbocad6 · 07-03-2007, 01:37 AM

metalic sharpies? can't I make new traces with that?

extropy · 07-03-2007, 01:46 AM

Port to pin layouts based on the board I have. First number is the Port, second is the pin it activates. Both are 0-11 numbered.

0-4
1-5
2-6
3-3
4-1
5-2
6-7
7-0
8-8
9-9
10-10
11-11

Volume seems to work so far. Haven't messed with temp or ultrasonic sensor yet.
