Re: 802.11/Zigbee Co-existence?

When I first heard about Zigbee a while back, I did some googling, and came across several hits complaining about 802.11 systems causing problems with 2.4GHz Zigbee.

Has anyone using Zigbee encountered intereference from Wifi systems?

Re: QSPI CS problem - I goofed

I went back and checked my connections one more time, and found a solder bridge that was screwing up the chip select signal.

Sorry if anyone wasted any time trying to figure this out.

QSPI CS problem

Last year, I built a system around an SB72 that (among other things) uses a TPIC2603 (basically an SPI shift-register with high-power outputs) to drive solid state relays to control some equipment. Now I'm trying to duplicate it, and running into problems: the outputs of the TPIC2603 don't match the...

Re: rs485 half duplex

I forget where I got this info: I'm pretty sure it came from a reply to a post I made, myself, asking this question a while back. You need to declare the function yourself, because it's not in the headers: void Serial485HalfDupMode(int port,int enab); "portnum" is the physical serial port ...

Re: PK90 Questions / Pill Dispenser

I'd also lean toward the PK70 for rapid prototyping, but probably not as a base for the finished product: in the final product, you don't need the enclosure, you'd probably want to put the SD card socket in a different spot, and you'd want to build all your electronics on a a single board you'd plug...

Re: PK90 Questions / Pill Dispenser

Ted, The first question to ask is what your course goals are. If you're supposed to be building something "realistic", you should probably be looking at something more like a MOD5270 or MOD5272, because real-world products will have cost minimization as a major design concern. Especially i...

Re: Best source of SB70 GPIOs ?

I have SB72s, not SB70, but I think the SB70 also has 4 unstuffed pads next to J5 that are connected to PC0-PC3. There's an appnote on the netburner.com site about using them. I believe there's sample code included (I can't share mine because it belongs to the client I wrote it for, but it's trivial...

Re: Connecting a Sony PSP LCD to the MOD5270

Giving you a real answer would probably take more time than I can spare at the moment, but I think I can give you more of the right questions to get you going in the right direction. Getting the processor involved at the individual pixel-writing level would probably impose too much load to work righ...

Re: Any Ideas On Implementing USB on MOD5282?

"Implementing USB" covers a multitude of sins.

Do you want the Netburner to appear as a peripheral to a PC? Or look like a PC to some USB-based peripheral?

Why not just name everything "*.htm" in the first place? That's what i've been doing.
