TomDK Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Yes, .. that was it ! Took a knife and everything is fine. BTW: Anyone using 2 BA256A13 with Helios ? I divided my panels and have now one panel connected on the right sind and 3 on the left side. For any reason in Helios it took over 30 (!!) seconds until a command from a switch was accepted by DCS. After several hours I changed the "time how often Helios checks for updates" in the A-10 setting of helios from 15 to 10 and now it works. This just for info if someone else haveing problems with settig up two controllers. Will see what happens if the Brodnar controller arrives :) Thanks again !

brydling Posted January 3, 2013 Author Posted January 3, 2013 I have a lot of time to solder boards the rest of this week and in the beginning of the next one, so to all of you that are thinking about ordering one: Make up your mind and do it now for quicker delivery :-) Instructions in this thread. /Niclas Digital-to-Synchro converter for interfacing real aircraft instruments - Thread Check out my High Input Count Joystick Controller for cockpit builders, with support for 248 switches, 2 POV hats and 13 analog axes.

dinko.mihalic Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Hi. I encountered a small problem building a cockpit. I came to the point where I need to make a system, with USB, that will turn on the LED or lamp information signboard. I do not know which "OUT"? controller to use. Also help me information about programming EXPORT.LUA line in this process. If I understood well the simulator program, it should be programmed in such work. Thanks for any kind of help ... I played a bit with Arduino uno controller, I think that is wrong in this case ... Edited March 13, 2013 by dinko.mihalic

See the first post in the official thread over at the For Sale-section, under the section "News:". The bootloader is not upgradeable however, so if you have a board with a serial number of A0036 or lower, you can't fix the first problem listed without a new chip. I don't think that the first problem is critical, so I don't see a reason for anyone to buy a new chip because of it. Just shout if you have any questions regarding the upgrade procedure or anything else!

Thanks for that, I've upgraded the S/W. that went smoothly, but as I'm a forgetful sort of guy, I'd like to upgrade the bootloader as well, just I'm not restricted on where I use my toggles. Whats the damage for a couple of the chips and postage to Oz? (I'm not in a super hurry, just organising it while the money is in the bank :)) cheers Peter

You need more than one extra? If you have access to someone with a PIC-programmer, I can send you the bootloader file so that you may upgrade it yourself for free. If you want a new chip, it is 60 SEK each + shipping. The shipping is a bit cheaper than it is for a whole board since I don't think it is necessary to pay for insured shipping and they weigh almost nothing :) Regards, Niclas Digital-to-Synchro converter for interfacing real aircraft instruments - Thread Check out my High Input Count Joystick Controller for cockpit builders, with support for 248 switches, 2 POV hats and 13 analog axes.

Cheers Peter You're welcome! The board uses the 18F4550. It does not have a programmer connector, so you'll need some type of programmer adapter board or a breadboard so that you can make your own. I use a breadboard. The PICkit2/3 are good programmers.

brydling Posted October 27, 2013 Author Posted October 27, 2013 I've now received advance payment for two boards, and one more guy has told me that he's going to pay for a third board but hasn't done it yet. After that, there's only one more order needed for me to place the order for the fifth batch of B256A13's. That will most likely be the final batch. I thought so about the previous batch too, but orders are coming in an even lower rate now. That will also allow me to shift focus to producing the DTS-board :) If you're interested, send me an e-mail as stated in the first post in this thread.
