Desription: Using RAM-FLASH-DISK from TransForm to download forms or fonts into the 5Si SmartSIMM with firmware version 3.00 causes the printer to print garbage data if more than one form or font is in the project. Also, the printer reports that it is doing an internal test repeatedly during the download. The printer may refuse to print a status page.
This error is caused by a timing problem in the printer that causes the printer to go off-line and lose data between download segments. While the printer is off-line after the first form or font is downloaded, some data from the next form or font is lost.
Workaround: Downloading one form at a time will work despite the internal test message on the printer.
Resolution: fixed in TransForm version 2.1L

Robotics nuts!Check out http://users.frii.com/dlc/robotics/projects/botproj.htm from Dennis Clark. This guy ROCKS! He has made (and sells but also releases code, docs, etc...) for a number of cool little robotic modules including whiskers, IR proximity detect and remote control, Sonar proximity detect, PWM, Servo, compass. Most of these use the little PIC 12C508 controller which costs basically nothing and is soooo tiny.The 4 servos, 2400 baud serial servo controller is a wonder of magic and he sells the programmed chip for $8. Wow! |
