    Joy2pic Programming for the Atari NUC

    in Atari 8-Bit Computers

    Posted

    Thanks for the updates.

     

    I have a socketed bench Atari 600XL with 64K that I programmed the first PIC12 with.  I also checked the PIC12 programming with this programmer:

    I will use this 600XL with the joy2pic + Dupont lines to the header on the NUC to program the PC16.  The NUC itself will NOT be powered whatsoever.

    @mytek I have never run into this before that the solder ring for the through hole and the trace coming from it were broken.

    Perhaps this was a bad build from the vendor.

     

    Off to program the PIC161847 on the NUC board itself.   

    Can I assume just the pin row header would all that would be needed to flash the PIC in place?

    I have a Pickit 2 for programmer for that.  Any other suggestions?

     

    Ah...I should be able to use the joy2pic again with dupont wires

    I purchased and joy2pic programming device and tried to use it for the first time today.

    I was attempting to program the PIC12F1572-I/P-ND chip with the provided flashing ATR.

    Here is what I get:

    I tried to use the PICREAD on the chip as well and each location is filled with 3FFF

     

    Any suggestions from the experts out there?

     

     

    The IC is inserted in the correct position in the Ziff socket and it is locked.

     

     

     

    My Arcade Gamestation durability of the joystick?

    I got the Wireless adapter 2. Updated it's firmware to the latest.  I also updated the firmware on the controller to the latest.

    I tested it on Windows using adapter 2 and the controller set to BT....all good.

     

    I plugged this into the gamestation pro....no luck whatsoever...some combination of buttons got me to a few screens but nothing really worked.

     

    I do have the latest and greatest firmware on the gamestation pro.

     

    What firmware are you using on the gamestation pro?

    I am looking to start a NUC build but I had some questions before starting:

    image.thumb.png.14762ff008d70e1d35d238410548adad.png

     

    I see there are IC's/resistors/caps under the CPU, Antic and GTIA. 

     

    Are the sockets required for the CPU ANTIC, and GITA deep enough to allow the component under them to be installed?  

     

    Are special deeper sockets being used?

    Replacement Atari Keyboard 24 pin Connector - Obsolescence Solution

    in Atari 8-Bit Computers

    I've found a simple solution for the obsolescence issue related to the 24-pin keyboard ribbon connectors ( 2.54mm ds1020-24st1d-1 ) on Atari XL and XE Systems.

     

    This is going to be a great option for those wanting to build their own Motherboards.

     

    As you can see in the images, it's a 26-pin variety. To make it compatible with the original 24-pin version, all it requires is the removal of the two end contacts for the 800XL, 65XE, and 130XE machines and for the 600XL you'll need to remove the opposite two contacts. Removing the unused contacts is a straightforward process, and I recommend doing this before soldering it to the main board.

    If anyone is interested in purchasing any of these, feel free to let me know.
    I'm open to offering deals for larger bundles as well.

    Do you have a source link for these?

     

     

    2023 Advanced PCB Remake For the 800XL -- Revision 1.1

    in Atari 8-Bit Computers

    Posted · Edited by Jfcatari
    fixed db9's on mouser

    800XL Remake BOMS

     

    Here are two BOMS, one for Mouser (most of the required items excluding the 14 and 16 pin IC sockets, resistors, and video pot) and the other for Digikey (resistors and the pot).  The BOMS do include the PAL items as well.  All of the Atari IC's, SIO, keyboard, video, power, and cartridge will need to be donor sourced.

     

    Notes:

        Mouser:  This includes both SRAM chips, but you really only need one. 

                      The quantities are enough for a full build with many extras.

                      The clock crystal is out of stock here and the video pot

     

        Digikey:  All of the resistors using Stackpole electronics including the video pot

     

    I am just about ready to place an order for these.  I went over the specs from reifsnyderb's PDF document many times to double and triple check.

     

     

     

    UPDATED:  I fixed the DB 9's on the mouser list to match reifsnyderb's comments from below.
