This is very interesting. I have a Pioneer LD-4200; it has a serial port but it is a non standard one that uses a 15 pin connector. And it uses a wired remote that I don't have. On Mon, 29 Oct 2018 at 09:28, Kevin Becker wrote: > > Here is the arduino TPDD project. I believe this is actually

Hello Joel and all other M100/102/T200 enthusiasts,. Here what I figure out how the thing seems to work. 1. RESRAM reserves a block of 6 pages byte each and sets LOMEM address to 0xA600 2. INSTAL copies a KB/PRN handler to 0xA010..0xA2DA ( until line 550 DATA ..,201) and the KB map from

You might also want to check out a set of NiZn batteries; I've mentioned them here before but don't know if anyone ever tried them. They have a nominal voltage of 1.6V and solve the early shutdown problem, usually with a capacity of 2500 to 2800 mWh (equivalent to approx. 1500 to 1700 mAh).

okay some responses now that i'm in front of this setup: Peter Vollan: - The laserdisc player docs are online, which includes wiring pinouts for the DB15 on the back. For this one, It's got TTL and "standard 12v" serial pins on it. I've not gotten the TTL interface to work, but the RS-232 12v

Hi all. So I'm working on a project; a BASIC program that talks at 4800 baud to a LaserDisc player. The commands are sent as ascii text, with a carriage return at the end, and responses are similarly a text string terminating in a CR. On my Tandy 200, I'm able to configure the port in TERM via:

Since you've opened the serial port for OUTPUT, I'm not sure you can read from it. There's no (documented) mode for R/W to a file or serial port in BASIC (that I can find). You might have to do a PRINT, CLOSE, OPEN, INPUT dance. :-/ For saving files, if you have an android device, look into

You can do tpdd to a pc or mac or pi etc for free. Just need a usb-serial adapter and serial cable. There is also an initial arduino implimentation that works on at least a few boards that have sd readers and usb interfaces already built-in, if you're up for that. Jimmy Petit wrote it and I have

I think the Greg is right you have to open for input and output. I havent done bidirectional serial from basic. Just assembly. Is flow control at play here? Remember the receive queue is 64 bytes. If responses are longer than that you're going to lose data unless flow control is engaged. --
