Re: XC-2 code overload

After some disappointing issues with my XC-2, I was able to get the more "complicated" source code working. First, I had to power cycle my XC-2 several times, and when I touched the strain relief, it crumbled into several tiny pieces! I still couldn't get the XC-2 recognized in Win7, so I ...

Re: XC-2 code overload

XMOS has finally taught me my lesson. I went and purchased the XC-2, thinking that it would have examples ready to go and I'd be free from having to deal with the low-level details. I've got the XC-2 connected, but now I'm scouring the web, looking for the example code referred to in the tutorial. I...

Re: CAN bus implementation

Just wondering if anyone has actually tried the CANbus code attached in one of the above posts. I am looking into CAN/CANopen and thought it might be a good start since I am pretty new to this communication layer.

Re: XC-1A supern00b examples?

For now, I'm just going to try to get multiple serial ports running on the XC-1A. After that, I'd like to write some libraries (or look for existing ones) so I can get my XBee modules going with an LCD touchscreen. All of this stuff is basically serial-based. Then add on external circuitry to read a...

Re: Yet another UART implementation

Any updates on this project? I'm gradually going through the forum, picking up tidbits of information along the way, and your project is interesting. I am going to see (learn) whether or not it's possible to support 8 or more RS232 connections (w/o hardware flow control) with a single G4 processor, ...

Great! Now it's time to play with the simulator... I haven't used it for anything but the UART tutorial, but it's impressive. I need to learn how to write plugins for it at some point!

Re: XC-1A IDC Header

I'd look on ebay for "female header". (If you have enough patience to wait a few weeks on shipping). I would avoid these though: http://www.ebay.com/itm/40Pin-40-pin-Single-row-header-2-54mm-Female-X-10pcs-/370536697178?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5645b54d5a The quality is not enou...

Re: XC-1A IDC Header

I realize I'm late to the game here, but I'm going through the same thing right now. I want to prototype with my XC-1A! I personally would like to have female headers so I can use jumper wire to go from the XC-1A to my breadboard(s). I ended up finding something usable on Digikey (part number 609-35...

Re: UART won't run

I apologize for possibly hijacking here, but my question is related to UARTs. I'd like my first project to be an implementation of a multi-UART, so perhaps trying to use the XMOS as a "hub" for 8 RS-232 ports. Since there is plenty of I/O available, and four cores on my XC-1A, shouldn't I ...
