Oh dear, why are there so much variants in the wild... @hawkChanging X and Y should not be a big problem, but building for each variant an extra firmware will end in a mess. I am thinking about an autodetection... @kbr I'm assuming that you're aware of this guy's work with MCUFriend TFT panels and Arduinos. https://github.com/prenticedavid/MCUFRIEND_kbv/blob/master/extras/mcufriend_how_to.txt I wouldn't go a look there if I were you...it will scare you the number of variants he has identified. This seems like good info though... Quote 12. These Mcufriend-style shields tend to have a resistive TouchScreen on A1, 7, A2, 6 but are not always the same rotation of direction. The TouchScreen_Calibr_native.ino sketch wiil diagnose Touch Pins, do Calibration, report to Serial Terminal. The Calibration should work with the TouchScreen.h library from Adafruit. You can always copy the local TouchScreen_kbv.h library from sketch to the global user libraries folder. BTW, what platform do you develop SDrive-Max firmware on? I can build easily on OS X, however on windows, when I used WinAVR, I got compilation errors associated with PGM_P. When I went to AVR Studio 6.? I got it to compile, but haven't yet tested the new binary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PE1PQX Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) Recently I bought a SDrive-MAX from E-bay. It works good, firmware V1.1 is in the device (it has the "SIO fix"). However I have a question on the use of it: I like to use my Atari 1050 and XF551 in combination with the SDrive-MAX. The 1050 is D1, the 551 is D2 and want to have the SDrive handle D3 and D4 only and NOT D1 or D2.. Is this possible?? When I load an image on the SDrive with all four of them empty this image automaticly becomes D1, even if I choose the D3 or D4 drive. I have a few floppys I'd like to create .ATR images of... (or at least, want to try.... ? ) Edited August 4, 2019 by PE1PQX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Robot Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 yes, just leave d1 and d2 on the sdrive empty and they will be disabled allowing your physical drives to be used. Check my sig for the full tutorial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Select the first slot as D1:, let them empty, and you will get all drives in it's normal order, while D1: is acting off, and so on... Empty slots are always acting as drive off/not present!

PE1PQX Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 In other words: booting from 1050 is not possible with SDrive MAX active and connected?? Leaving D1 empty in the SDrive causes 'BOOT ERROR' while trying to boot from 1050 drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure the D1: slot in the SDM is empty, your 1050 is set to D1: and powered on with a valid boot disk in the drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddtmw Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Also, whoever made you SDM would have had to properly added support for it to work with other IDE devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Details of this can be looked up in another thread but it basically means that SDrive Maxes can be built in different ways and the "easy" will result in other devices on the SIO bus not being recognized. If your SDrive Max has a socketed ATMega chip you can change this yourself by bending up one leg of the ATMega before re-inserting it. If it is an SMD version you need a little board between the SIO cable and the SDrive. The seller should know which way the SDrive was built.

Leaving D1 empty in the SDrive causes 'BOOT ERROR' while trying to boot from 1050 drive. Sure it is, the easiest way to test this, is to leave all slots empty, and select any of them, except the special slot D0:, then SDRIVE.ATR would act as D1:! Otherwise there is a hardware problem, like the other guys commented. 2 hours ago, _The Doctor__ said: make sure boot d1: is off in the cfg not necessarily, this has only effect on power-up, but if SDM is powered by SIO, this may help.

PE1PQX Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Thanks everyone.. Will 'play' with it later. I'm on sick-leave of my work now (sore back) so I have some time to fool around at home. The SDrive-MAX I bougt is a non-socketed (SMD) version, with an added IC board in it. I have no option other than power it via USB (no suitable power adapter available at the moment, and no desire to power it from SIO). Seller (Ebay): Voidabone, see https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sdrive-Max-Atari-8bit-800xl-600xl-65xe-130xe-Atari-XEGS-sio2sd-sio-tape-disk-fix/173710208225?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vazquezrick Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I have a SD-Max and somehow the touch screen is not calibrated. Can someone please tell me how to recalibrate the screen? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone please tell me how to recalibrate the screen? Thank you Power it off and touch the screen with the power off. While still touching the screen, power it back on. As it boots up, it should go to the calibration routine with a little marker in the upper left to begin the calibration process. Touch the marker, then repeat for the other 3 corners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crenedecotret Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Hi everyone, I ordered a uno r3 and tft from Amazon. The screen I received was a different number than pictured (ili9338). Should I return it or would it work with another driver, say ili9340? Envoyé de mon EML-L09 en utilisant Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddtmw Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 The only ones I think it works with are: hx8347g hx8347i ili9329 ili9340 ili9341 You could try it, but if you did not receive what you ordered, I'd return it and ask them to send you the correct item.

toddtmw Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Although, this site makes me think it might work as a ILI9341. https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=387618.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsom Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 So I'm finally getting to play with my Sdrive-Max... It's nice! I'm trying to use the built in software to select disks to load - the SDrive.com software. This is on an Atari 800, btw. I can get it to boot into it by clicking the D0 icon and power cycling the computer. The file listing comes up and I can navigate around. However there are a couple semi-related items. If I go into a directory, the list is not sorted. So in combination of an unsorted list, and shortened file names, it makes it tough to find anything. I see that there is a "Find" command, and when I do hit Ctrl-F, it displays "Find" for me to enter text, but nothing I enter works. Nothing is found, nothing is displayed. So I have to go page by page and try to decipher the file names. Anyone have any hints? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the unsorted problem, you need a utility that physically sorts the files on the SD card prior to using it with Sdrive Max. I compiled fatsort on my Mac to do this. There’s a Windows utility that’s always recommended as well. I just can’t think of the name right now. For the long filename support, hit Ctrl-L on the Atari to display long filenames and Ctrl-W to save the configuration. This site is a wonderful resource with information on the Sdrive Max: https://atari8bit.net/everything-sdrive-max Bob C 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
