Ouch! Bet it took a lot of aspirin to get rid of THAT headache!
Phil - I'm on Linux using MINICOM or DOS using an
old PROCOMM. Sending
a break while doesn't seem to have any effect. How long is the break
being held for? (PROCOMM is configurable.)
500 milliseconds according to Realterm. The signal is going via a USB-serial
adapter (FTDI TTL-232R) and into a MAX232, then on to the LPFK.
Also, you say you are using 9600 O81 for the protocol?
That is
different than the Code Ninja page, which says 9600 N81. Can you give
me all of the parameters so I can at least reproduce the reset that you
managed to trigger?
Baud rate: 9600
Parity: Odd
Data bits: 8
Stop bits: 1
Hardware Flow Control: Off
Sending SFFFFFFFF\n (SFFFFFFFF followed by a Line Feed) caused the LEDs to
blink quickly then turn off again
Also try connecting RXD to ground.
As regards pinouts, this is what I've got for the 8-pin connector at the LPFK:
__ __
/ |_| \
| 8 7 6 |
| 5 4 3 |
\ 2 1 /
------
PCB pads:
[ 33uF ]==:
o---[ R ]---o
8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Pinouts are:
1 GND
2 GND
3 VCC (+5V)
4 RxD (INPUT TO LPFK)
5 TxD (OUTPUT FROM LPFK)
6 PUR (Pullup resistor -- or something?)
7 NC (no connection)
8 NC (no connection)
Thanks.
