Hi, Bob,
I'm finally nearing completion of my Panda display, at last, and I
rememeber another Panda display owner mentioning that you sent them
a test program to cycle the LEDs. Could you send that to me? I'm
using Linux, so I'd prefer C or C++ source than a compiled binary,
if that's OK (I've been twiddling LEDs and such from the parallel
port under Linux for a while, so I don't anticipate any problems
if I have to massage the code; of course you'd be welcome to any
changes I made).
I didn't get a chance to place a last parts order before the last
plane, so I'm improvising like mad here. I found a couple of 4.7K
SIPs (one just yesterday, thus the progress), but I may have to
use discretes for the LED current limiters. To help me in my search,
what values are reasonable for RP1-RP5 and RP8? I think I can find
a wad of 220 Ohm resistors, but other low values might or might not
be present here in the necessary abundance.
Thanks,
-ethan
P.S. - I do have the JEDEC file for the GAL, a programmer, and several
blanks, so that's no problem - just the current limiters.
