Nope, definitely not a genius. The difference between a fool and a genius is that that the latter has limits and Tony's doesn't appear to have any

RE: HP97 The journey begins
Hi all,
Some more progress. Here is the HP-65 CPU board almost populated with a little test wire hanging in the breeze. All power supplies work ok, Battery 3.7-4.5V. Volts out are 8V, 6V, 5V and 3.3V. Most software has been written, bugs are next. cheers Tony |

I had the test LED across a cathode driver output and it flashed quite bright at first switch on. After a few hours of playing around I figured out the problem and it doesn't light at all now except for a faint glow which looks like normal operation. cheers Tony |

RE: HP97 The journey begins
Hi all,
The HP65 CPU board seems to be running ok. The display, keyboard and PRGM/RUN switch are working and it will accept and run programs. The PC program connects to it and transfers information back and forth. The calculator menu is working and I can use it to load and save program cards plus set operating options from the keyboard. Next is the CRC stuff for the card reader. cheers Tony |

(11-19-2019 01:56 PM)albertofenini Wrote: Hi Tony, Hi Alberto, Will be, but a bit to go yet. The 67 appears to work ok but a bug exists in the card read that I haven't sorted yet. If you consider the complexity of PIC machine code emulating HP microcode and the CRC chip while trying to capture data as the card whizzes through the reader... :-) Anyway, maybe I'm looking at the problem but can't see it so I put it aside for a bit and I'll have a go at the 65 for awhile. cheers Tony |

RE: HP97 The journey begins
Hi all,
Well it looks like the HP65 CPU board is behaving. All functions work and it now reads and writes cards :-) It also detects write protected cards which stops the write process and flags an error, but you can override this with a menu option and re-program those cards if required. Just to test the Bluetooth now and it should be good. cheers Tony |

That's an amazingly good result after the pain the 67 caused...
