I type more english than dutch. I used to be on dutch forums too, but now I only post here.

My Dutch score is the same as my english, but on the dutch test I'm better than 40% than all the guys who did the test and with the english test I am better than about 70%.

I had a look at the IDE and especially the blink LED example that came with it. I understand that most of the code is for setting up the microcontroller and not for the cpu itself, but it's a lot of code right there. Have you seen it? Do you know if there is a community that uses these mcu, because I am sure I won't be able to figure out everything myself.

Yes, the topic dates back to 2011

32WPM. Guess I suck at keyboard typing or something. :P (I'm faster on an 84+ keypad :trollface:)

I got one, but it's an old analog scope, so you cannot save anything or look at it longer than a split second.

TI Z80 / Re: TI84 Speaker Dongle

Of course it should be cheaper than an arduino. You need less components to begin with since you have a nice regulated 5v coming out of the usb port, you don't need a usb to serial ttl converter and you don't need a double sided pcb. You save a lot of parts that way.

Edit: This is the basic principle of timing oscillators using just one hardware timer:
Code: [Select]
#include "TimerOne.h"

void setup()
{
  DDRB = 255;
  Timer1.initialize(16);         // initialize timer1, and set a 1/2 second period
  Timer1.attachInterrupt(sound);  // attaches callback() as a timer overflow interrupt
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

unsigned int counter[3] = {256,256,256};
unsigned int wavelength[3] = {256,128,64};
boolean gate[3] = {1,1,1};

void sound()
{
  for (int i = 0; i<=2; i++){ // Cycle trough all the oscillators
    if (counter[i] -- == 0){ // If the oscillator ends half a period
      counter[i] = wavelength[i]; // Reset the counter to the wavelength
      if (gate[i]) // If the gate is on
        PORTB ^=1<<i; // Change the state of the oscillator pin
    }
  }
}

void loop()
{
  if (Serial.available())
  wavelength[0] = Serial.read();
  if (Serial.available())
  wavelength[1] = Serial.read();
  if (Serial.available())
  wavelength[2] = Serial.read();
}
     

You can set the wavelength by sending bytes via serial for this example. I don't mix the channels in software, but I use resistors for that. You can mix in software and output on one pin with pwm.

I have taken apart my only 84+ several times and I have done crazy mods to it (soundchip embedded in it, expansion port on the side, DC 5v power jack) I might give it a shot too. Try writing patterns of bytes to those ports and measure the voltage on those keyboard traces with the scope.

Thank you for your information. Perhaps somone with a logic analyser can work some of this out.

Is that I/O directly interfaced with the cpu?

But I WANT to do a ridiculous amount of soldering to my 83+ :) You know I already interfaced many devices with the linkport. I wanna take interfacing hardware to another level.

Bump: Does anyone know anything about the pinout of the lcd driver? I suspect is is connected to the data bus, address bus and control lines of the z80, so I could tap into the I/O of the cpu there.

Does anyone know anything about this module: pinouts, datasheets?


Edit:This is what I found so far: it's a Toshiba T6K04


Here are 17 pins going from the main board to a little pcb with the driver attached. For a z80 interface you only need 12 pins and 2 for power. Still no idea what the pinout is of this 17 pin connection.

Is this correct? http://ripitapart.wordpress.com/2013/03/02/making-use-of-an-old-ti-83-plus-lcd-screen/
He describes the pinout of the module here.
