Or someone else. It's an open source design

In KiCad it's a good idea to tie a footprint to something in the schematic, otherwise when you reload the netlist in the PCB editor it'll go AWOL . Once something's in the schematic it gets yoinked into the BOM when that's created.

The usual trick if a particular type isn't accepted is just to zip it. I'll see about adding UEF though

edit: done

Bit more here:

If you go to board preferences in your user control panel, you'll see an autodrafts tab on the left. There you can change the behaviour to whatever you like, and disable it completely

!Hform is what you need Once that's done you need to get the boot structure installed on there (uniboot).

You will need a floppy drive, but probably the easiest thing is to hook up a gotek with flashfloppy on it, and then you can use that with disk images? CF hard drive... Mileage may vary. I'm guessing the A7000 is as grumpy as the RiscPC. There is a patch that can fix it though - it's just a question ...

Hola! Does anyone have a CommuniTEL modem (e.g. Tandata 512 or Dacom) that they could use to test some responses on? I've got partial documentation, but it's quite clear that communitel is expecting certain responses that I'm not aware of. I've tried running it through the debugger in b-em, and I th...

How much were you paying for the esp-12?

I'll post a full BOM once I've finalised it, along with RS part numbers. Patience

d.

Yes.
Socket: RS Stock No.544-3828
Switch: RS Stock No.756-1644
MAX3237: RS Stock No.660-7685

The rest should be fairly straight forward. Make sure the tants are case size B and 10V or more.

It's the one on github - it should be just about right (although I don't think it's the right USB connector): https://github.com/stardot/esp8266_modem/blob/master/kicad/FreeFi232Large/BOM.csv Once I'm sure it works I'll put up a proper BOM. The only things likely to change are the number of resistor...

I'd recommend getting a temp controlled iron - it makes life much easier. Lots of people on here use the Hakko fx888d - good value and good quality. Do make sure you get it from a genuine distributer, as there are quite a few counterfeit ones doing the rounds. SMD seems daunting at first but it's re...

Hey Robin - it's all SMD I'm afraid. No time to learn like the present I guess! :? :shock: - what soldering weapon have you got? The ESP12 is SMD, and the level shifter I'm using isn't available as a DIP so I just did everything as SMD (it makes the routing a bit easier too as you can run underneath...

For GitHub projects the best way to get the attention of the contributors is to raise an issue.

But yes, get coding

I've just done the same, works like a charm - particularly good as the latest OSX broke compatibility with beebem

The backplate of the master's motherboard is attached to the motherboard so you don't need to desolder anything. You either have to unscrew it or desolder it on a beeb though.

I assume you mean genuine FTDI chips, ebay one is probably genuine fake. My hookup wires are genuine bits of wire. But it could also be due to the 5v supply as I am driving it at the limit, or it could be because the Electron was dying, as now it is not well. Yes, I do mean the IC. I'm fairly convi...

Maybe. But I use this one all the time with other TTL serial stuff without issue (same jumper wires as well come to think of it), but obviously I dont usually put it through a max3232. Likewise (although it did need an extra pullup on the FreeFi232) - but upurs was/is (afaik) particularly persnicke...

Experience suggests those cheap ftdi boards don't use real ftdi chips... The signal out of mine (I have 3) isn't too clean...

Hello there!

Don't use superglue. Top tip.

You can:
Use a gbs 8200 scan converter or equivalent to convert to vga.
Use a monitor that can display pal modes (eg, benq bl912).
Use hoglet's new dvi/hdmi converter with a monitor that has an hdmi/dvi input.

Yes I was looking at the BOM and wonder which to order. But assume with the exception of fitting under the Beeb this is just personal preferencance. The straight will fit a standard cable better as the connector is at right angles to the cable. The right angle will plug directly into the AP5. You w...

Only the mini fits under the beeb (and only the beeb, not the master). Straight through hole male for cable dangling: https://www.domesday86.com/?page_id=409 ... _Materials

But the right angled can be used for the AP5.

Glad it's working! Only "enhancement" I'm intending to add is the dacom compatibility mode and eeprom saving of various settings. If anyone wants anything else I would encourage them to contribute it

Duncan, I'm assuming it's a character in your password that's different on the beeb... No idea what though. Once the WiFi is set up the esp12 remembers it.
