Re: EBlock Schematic

Hi Looks like that assembly was done with some sort of CAD program. If you have knowledge on CAD check out: http://www.openscad.org/ freeware CAD software, haven't used it myself though. i use solidworks : http://www.solidworks.com/ but it costs a whack of money for a license though Im guessing free...

Re: EB006 v9 possible short circuit

Hi, No been using the standard E-Blocks with the programmer, can in the meantime confirm that the bootloader was the source of the short. Got one of my guys at the office to remove the bootloader and the board is back to normal operating current. Couple of barrier diodes faulty but they are easily r...

Re: EB006 v9 possible short circuit

Hi medelec, Thanks for the response Looking at the circuit diagram of the EB006 i don't see how running at a higher DC(in) would negatively effect the operation of the board. Yes you will have higher loses over the device but under normal conditions you should never exceed 1W of power dissipation wh...

EB006 v9 possible short circuit

Hi, Seems like i have a short on my EB006 v9. Normal operating current for the board, seems to be round +/- 100mA with no external loads connected. All off a sudden its running in excess of 1A indicating a short circuit somewhere. First though it might be the U5 ( L7805 ) reg acting up but isolated ...

Re: MX016 - Measuring Time with Interrupts

Hey,

Simulation looks solid, and already can see where my problem was. So I'm sure I'll get it going now.

Will test this over the weekend and let you know.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated

Re: MX016 - Measuring Time with Interrupts

Good evening Quick question, would it be possible to measure two different pins with this routine? Say RA0 & RA1? Been trying to measure the frequency of two separate signals but either getting the first port read or just plain junk returned. Ordered a HP299 ( In-Circuit-Debugger) but have to wait a...

USB connection issue in Flowcode 5

Good day Gents, I seem to have a problem with interfacing the EB006 v9 multi programmer to Flowcode 5. I had a read up on the threads concerning this problem for win7 and downloaded the updated driver. Installed the updated driver and it does reflex correctly in device manager as the "Custom USB Dev...
