Hi all,
after messing with cables & pins in my Step C surface, I decided to write a simple tool to help myself writing the correct SR and Pin numbers in cs_io_tables.inc and mios_vectos.inc. It’s an OpenOffice.org spreadsheet that generates the lines to be copy&paste’d to these config files.
Here is what to do:
-
upload the ain64_din128_dout128_v1_3 program from the Download/Troubleshooting section of the ucapps site.
-
open the spreadsheet and choose the tab (Buttons or Encoders) you wish to work with. Notice the “DIN pin” column already filled with some numbers (it’s my current configuration
). -
for each button/encoder, press/rotate it and write the number displayed on the LCD (the one before the slash) to the respective row.
-
when finished, select the entire yellow box and click the Copy button.
-
open your favorite text editor, load the .inc file and go to the line specified in the cell just above the yellow box.
-
select from that point to DIN_ENTRY_EOT or ENC_EOT, included. Reference to the yellow box for an exact match.
-
do Ctrl-V in the text editor, the table should be overwritten with the new one. For safety, do some undo-redo’s to check that everything is OK.
-
save, assemble and upload.
-
have fun with your custom configuration!!
That’s what I did for myself, however I hope it could be useful for someone building a Step C surface.
I made a quick’n’dirty hack to the ain64_din128_dout128_v1_3 source to get rid of the random AIN messages. I simply inserted a return instruction just after the USER_AIN_NotifyChange label of main.asm. The source and resulting .hex are included in the zip file.
