How to program a PIC with ICProg and the JDM interface

by | Sep 21, 2003 | Hardware projects

I just built the PIC 12C50x Serial Interface for FMS(see images below) and was about to program the PIC when I realized I was very unsure how the programmer worked and if I had the software as well to do it. So I though it could be good to write it now when I got it working.

The program to use is IC-Prog. Make sure the Hardware settings are set to Windows API if you use XP as I do. Also select the right com-port.

The IC to program should be placed with pin 1 furthest away from the RS232 connector(in my design that is!).

The design I used for my PIC programemr is from this site though I did not use their PCB layout but rather just used the schematics and built it on a proto-board.

Regarding Supreme Snowboarding

How to make it work with XP:

Install the game. Rename or delete supreme.exe. Apply Supreme_Snowboarding_Patch_v1.035

Have not tried the following tips but might be handy:

“If you want to run the game WITHOUT CD: Just copy the directory DataAnims to C: (or to another root directory of your hard disk).”

How to stat BF1942 linux dedicated server on FreeBSD 4.8

I just tried to setup and run the latest version of the Linux dedicated server on my FreeBSD 4.8 machine.

I already had the Linux-base installed but this thread indicates you need the debian version of it but I dont use it. And it works. Though I mounted the linproc as indicated in the thread, though dont know if that is needed, but I just wanted to be sure BF would know my CPU speed.

Though I had to brandelf the binary as indicated by this thread.

ZonkBoard also have a list of other Blog Tools that could be interesting to look through.

Modellflyg

by | Aug 12, 2003 | Utomhus hobbies

För ett tag sedan visade Roberto mig det modellflygplan han har köpt och förra veckan började Ulf prata om att låna ett plan av Annikas plastpappa Gunnar. Ulf visade mig även FMS och det gamla barndomsintresset var på nytt född. Nu har man ju råd också:-)

Det vore skoj att skaffa ett enkelt billigt plan och en kontrol. Det balla är att de går att koppla till FMS med. Olika interface finns beskrivna här.
