[Emc-users] Differental Input to PWM

2008-03-31 Thread Eric H. Johnson
Hi all, Note: Reposted with smaller attachment. I am trying to read an RS422 differential input and convert it to an analog based on the duty cycle, using a Mesa m5i20 Anything I/O board. Provided this post is under the maximum size allowed, the schematic is attached. I really only have access

You have to reference the signal with it's counterpart. The signal should have two pins, a plus and minus. A comparator would work to convert the signal to a single ended (referenced to ground) signal. or use a RS-422 transeiver chip (ST490AB). Jim C

[Emc-users] Audio hardware as EMC output?

2008-03-31 Thread Jim Coleman
I've been playing with using an audio amplifier with a tone generator to make a low power VFD, and have been wondering what it would take to build a HAL module to produce simple audio waveforms. After I got to thinking, it seems that audio hardware could probably do a higher frequency PWM than

Yes, I want all the pins as I/O. How are you going to get around the counters and PWM's on the HostMot firmware to access the individual pins as I/O? That is why I suggested using the parallel mode firmware. Tony -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:emc-users- [EMAIL
