RE: Arduino Board as HP-IL device?
Hi
Yes it emulates an IL Drive. DIR, WRPT, READP works. But it is still in a experimental phase. The Arduino board is directly connected with the PIL-Box (not PIL-IO) (TXD->RX, RXD->TX, +5V->+5V and GND->GND) - not USB! With simple "Serial" commands you can read an manage all IL frames. I have to exchange the Arduino Uno Board, with the bigger one (Mega) - because of internal memory problems (SRAM is to small for 2x256Byte drive buffers and the SD Library, because of that, it is a little bit buggy.) http://arduino.cc/de/Main/ArduinoBoardMega At the moment the only limitation is, there is only one LIF file (640kb) per SD Card. But the Arduino can be extended with a LCD with menu keys for choosing the current LIF file, for example. Or perhaps i can do it with a special HPIL command... I feel, its faster then the PC version. I will still work on it and i will post any news and the sources here. Best regards Tobie |
