Logic Analyzer
by Matthew Rossiter 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Has anyone ever had a chance to look at this little logic analyzer? http://www.saleae.com/logic/features/ For the price and size, it could be a useful troubleshooting tool. I'm sure it can't do everything a tektronix can do, but a tektronix can't exactly fit in your toolbox or desk drawer either. I've probably mentioned this before, but I've been making a little collection of helpful videos including a video about the tektronix 1230 logic analyzer that really helped me a lot. http://games.rossiters.com/gallery2/v/tech/ Matt _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/TestEquipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/

9100 Program writing
by martin＠guddler.co.uk 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Hi all, Just wandered if anyone had done much (or anything!) in the way of writing TL/1 programs for the 9100 off line? By that I mean using a PC and then transferring the programs to the 9100 for compilation etc. I do remember transferring a file backwards and forwards via the serial port by way of a test not long after I got the 9100 but I don't remember all the details. For instance whether this was possible for programs or whether it was literally just for text files. I also remember it being a bit clunky. Considerably more clunky than for the 9010. I appreciate the idea is that you do it all on the 9100. I don't know what it is about this, the clunky keyboard (yes, my PS/2 keyboard is pretty nasty), or whether it's the small amount of columns / rows that fit on the display but I tend to find myself doing the least possible to just quickly get out of that environment! It would feel so much better doing this stuff on the PC. Even if it has to be just in notepad. Any thoughts? Martin. _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/TestEquipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/

Pace TTL FTP files updated
by John Robertson 03 Oct '09

03 Oct '09

I'm not sure if anyone here is still using PACE equipment besides me, but I have just uploaded/updated everything I have on that system of solder/desoldering to the TTL ftp site. Ones that appear to be duplicate part numbers are actually two different page formats - 8.5 X 11 and 5.5 X 8.5 Hope it is of some use to someone...

Looking for Kush N' Stuff Amusement Electronics manuals...
by John Robertson 27 Sep '09

27 Sep '09

OK, this is a real long shot, but perhaps someone here has a copy of the Exidy/ChiCoin service booklet (#8) put out by Kush N' Stuff and hasn't sent it off the City of Berwyn...man I hate old TTL schematics as drawn by Exidy/ChiCoin! http://www.cityofberwyn.com/bronzeage/ Their schematics have small groups of ICs with labels like "5BDGC" on inputs and outputs and you nave to find the other end of it... Currently I'm servicing a Chi-Coin Demolition Derby and wish I had more info on the nomenclature used.

Needhams EMP20 family modules wanted
by kstillinger＠sc.rr.com 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

> I picked one up cheap, but it's pretty useless without some family modules- Needhams is out of business now. > I sure would like to get (the family module) the one for most of the EPROMS- M1A/M1B, I think. I've got the software and I think I can dig up a power supply. Any help would be appreciated. > Thanks! > Kerry > > _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/TestEquipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/

Fluke 900 dynamic troubleshooter
by Backflipper 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

Hello List, To all who have a Fluke 900 dynamic troubleshooter in need of repair I managed to get hold of the service manual for Ztest testmate which is what Fluke rebadged for the 900. I only received it in the last couple of minutes and have posted it here: http://sites.google.com/site/poachersrope/test-equipment/logic-testers/fluk… I will upload it to the ftp in a bit. One step closer to sorting this out :) Steve _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/TestEquipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/

Fluke 9010a RS-232 problem.
by Kevin Moore 23 Aug '09

23 Aug '09

First Hello all I'm new to the list :) Next my experience with the fluke is somewhat limited, but I'm learning quite a bit, and want to learn more. So this is what I have. Fluke 9101a, and a 6502 pod since I'm learning to work on Vector games. So far I've been able to do the normal stuff, Rom, and Ram checks manually. I downloaded the FIDE program from Quarter Arcade, and have it install on a Windows XP system. Next I'm using a 9pin serial cable with a Null modem adapter and a 9-25 pin adapter to connect it to the Fluke. I've set the dip switches on the Fluke for what I believe is default. 7n1 IIRC at 9600 baud. In anycase, I've got COM1 set the same in windows, and the FIDE program set the same. The one thing that confuses me is the Hardware control settings. Xon/Xoff etc. But what's happening when I try to transfer a program script to the fluke is this, set up the FIDE so it's ready. Press Aux/If, Read, Enter/Yes The fluke then will state receiving, but after 1-2 secs it will just reset. Then the Fluke states Reset Ok. I'm thinking it should stay in the receiving mode until the program is finished transfering, but like I said I'm still new at using the fluke. I've done a little troubleshooting of the RS-232 board, but since I don't have a probe at this time, and my manual program entry skills are lacking on the fluke, I've been unable to enter in the program to test the RS-232. I have confirmed that I have the +-6 volts. I'm sure there are some things I left out that you need to know so please ask away. Any suggestions would be much apperciated. Thanks, Kevin _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/TestEquipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/
