Introducing APEDSK99: 3x DS/SD, 32K, FTP, NTP

JJB · April 15

WiFi would be great as it saves a cable snaking over your desk. I did look at WiFi at some stage but the (standard) library was rather large and the resulting sketch didn't fit into memory. Like for FTP and NTP, there may be a smaller WiFi library available somewhere. Speaking of cables, if I really had thought a little bit longer about the design I made sure the Ethernet, power and USB connectors would be at the back of the unit 🙂 I did integrate an APEDSK99 unit into a speech synthesizer case and made some converter cables to do exactly that.

Here are some pictures on how I modify the Ethernet shield; I have found this the easiest and quickest way. The final piece of heat shrink tubing on the ICSP connector is important to keep the wires from sliding out the connector over time (as they will be upside down).

@JJB

Here is my first build. Just have to figure how to program it.

Looks great! The only slightly tricky thing with programming is using the right version of certain libraries; my Github page has some of the required ones but with every new Arduino IDE version some standard libs seem to bloat and could cause the sketch not to fit.

Happy to provide a more detailed list of lib versions if you run into that trouble.

Awesome you built one.

Many thanks to @RickyDean the extra board I bought from him arrived today and now I will soon be able to build my own unit and check out the hard work and amazing things that @JJB has done to get all working on a TI99.

@JJB

I am getting this error when trying to compile and program the sketch in the Arduino IDE 1.8.19, what do I need to do to resolve this? What am I missing?

This turned out to be duplicated due to the 503 error I received

That was weird I was working on adding this and the whole atariage went down giving me a 503 service error.

@JJBOkay I had to move around your library files and delete some already installed libraries and got it to show different errors now and found that you had already created the sketch, I was creating a new sketch as I'm not all that familiar with programming controllers. Maybe I on the wrong Arduino IDE for this build? I did try uploading what I had but all that worked was the 32k.

Those warnings shouldn't prevent uploading the sketch and the amount of program and dynamic memory left is similar with what I get:

Sketch uses 29248 bytes (90%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.
Global variables use 1435 bytes (70%) of dynamic memory, leaving 613 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

That seems to indicate you are using the right version of libraries.

But I do see "An error occurred while uploading the sketch" which could be a comms problem. Have you tried a to upload an example sketch (Files / Examples) to see if the upload mechanism works?

Also, would you be able to send me a link with info on the type of Arduino you are using?

Here are some scans of the UNO and package it came in from China. No I have only tried to load this sketch as I'm not that familiar with programming these devices. Usually if I don't have explicit instructions, I find it difficult to program them correctly, UNO, teensy, STM32, Beagle Bone, Pico, etc.

Here's where I got it from.

I noticed your board is set to "Arduino UNO WiFi" in the IDE but I'm pretty sure the board you purchased is a vanilla R3 without WiFi. I reckon that if you change the board to "Arduino Uno" (see below) you should be good to go:

RickyDean · April 23

I thought of that last night after posting these pictures, but even after changing it, it is still not working. Will try restartingthe IDE later today and see if that makes a differeence.

RickyDean · April 24

@JJB I took and restarted the IDE and tried to load and program, still got the error. I then closed the sketch, quit the IDE, and unzipped the Apedsk99 stuff over the other files. I then tried to upload and program and still got the error. I then tried just to upload the sketch and it did so. Then leaving it connected to my laptop I walked into the computer room and hooked the APEDSK up to the TI, went into TI Basic and typed in the CALL AHLP and I got the correct response with your info. So it is working, it just won't let me upload and program it to the ATMega328P AVR.

How do I set up the IDE to correctly load and program the booloader and files to the AVR. I did, after compiling, save the compiled binary, and both hex files, bootloader and the other are in the folder with your sketch files?

RickyDean · April 24

What would I use here?

JJB · April 24

Just was going to ask if you have anything selected there; mine has no selection:

But I don't think it will make a difference as long as you use the "Upload" option. From the Arduino Wiki:

The programmer selection is not used when:

Compiling your sketch (for example, when clicking Verify).
Uploading without a programmer, by clicking the Upload button.

But you said "So it is working, it just won't let me upload and program it to the ATMega328P AVR." In other words when you use "Upload" it works but when you use "Upload using programmer" it doesn't? The whole idea behind "Upload" is to use the resident bootloader to act as a programmer and make it simple for anyone to program a device. The bootloader does use space so with an external programmer you can remove the bootloader and have more space for your code but the whole process is a bit more complex for novices.

That may be where I have an issue then. I'm was assuming that I needed to program this sketch into the machine, so I've played around with the programmer, because upload for me wasn't persistent, at least I thought it wasn't, for after the pulling it from the laptop, it wouldn't run from just the Apedsk. I may have overwritten the boatloader. From the sketch menu after I verified and compiled the sketch I saved the compiled part to the sketch, one is called a bootloader and smaller and one called larger which must be the rest of the code. Can I take my TL866 Minipro and burn that bootloader, if so at which address should I start it. Then what address should be the start address to burn the other larger .hex file.

Edited April 24 by RickyDean

JJB · April 24

I only programmed an Arduino bootloader using another Arduino (some excellent online tutorials for this). You should be able to use your TL866 as well but I haven't tried that.

Gary from OPA · April 25

Well getting there slowly, the first part came in to build this unit: The Uno board

Sadly, the 64K ram chip, most likely will not arrive until the first week of June from China.

The rest of the parts should come in by tomorrow (the shield board) and monday/tuesday (the sockets, 74 logic chips, caps, resistors)

Gary from OPA · April 26

Well, I got everything in to build my APEDSK99 unit up, except for the 64k ram chip, but at least I going to solder everything together and I should be able to program the UNO and setup the sdcard at least and do the modding needed on the Shield part, as I wait for someday the ram chip to come from china which might be in a month or so from now.

But the soldering on Shield is crap, some leftover flux, and one of header pins got bent as it was NOT packaged well at all, just in a thin bubble wrap no foam or box. @RickyDean and @JJB let me know any tips or suggestions before I start assembling this beast.

The biggest things I would suggest, place and solder the edge card connector first, then when you are reaqplace the wires from the edge connector to the pin holes, that you do the odd side pins 1-43 first and then be sure on the even side, that the odd side wires are down low to the board. Then place a length of shrink wrap, cut lengthwise and about 4mm wide, along the top of those wire solder points, then strap it down with 3 or 4 of the even side wires before you set down in earnest on soldering the even side. This will retain the cover over the odd wire solder points, preventing short possibilities and you can get a clean look.. Do this before placing the sockets and risers or anything else.

If you look at mine you see the bottom looks pretty good but on the top it was harder to maneuver my soldering iron, making for a un even soldering experience. Other than that enjoy!!

JJB · April 28

In addition to my assembling instructions on GitHub:

I initially used a fixture to get those riser connectors straight but I found that by eyeballing it, tagging 1 pin in place and if necessary correct slightly by wiggling and heating the solder on that pin the (straight) results are similar. Once you get it straight tack a couple of others and then solder the rest properly. The reason to tack (quickly solder) is to prevent the riser to float and lift from the board when the solder makes its way through the via. The final step would be to properly re-solder the tacked pins.

Yes those Ethernet shields are not the greatest quality unfortunately but I guess the price makes up for it. Once cleaned up a bit and assembled they work fine.

RickyDean · April 30

@JJB I finally got this UNO to program and function with a usb power supply. Just have to print out the docs and start fiddling.

Gary from OPA · May 28

I finally had a chance today, to get some TI99 retro work done and was able to complete the soldering and assembly for the APEDSK99 project.

Next step is to test it out and see what can be improved in the software to make it more useful for other 99ers.
