The Sinclair QL Forum

Thank you. I'm glad we're all sorted.

Cheers,
Norm.

And would not be better to explain that in similar words to yours, instead sarcastic way when somebody is trying to be nice and doing a effort for others?
So my answer somehow was far, but his sarcastic comment about people who "doesn't read" is fine? :? :shock:
That is not very fair. :?


Derek ...

Not good for you. That's it.
Write the manuals by yourself. People like me that we don't know how to read or are too lazy to read are not worthy of your great comments.


[Moderator hat on]
Calm down, that's enough bickering. There has been too much of that on the forum recently.

We all need to ...

Guessing here but probably something in the software you are using doesn't have permission to access the "hard drive" where the qxl.win file lives.

Maybe?

Cheers,
Norm.

That's right, as you write. But not always (for every digispark board), in any case, the reset pin affect to this project?
Reset pin is pin1, transformed into GPIO by Digispark GPIO#5, since the project use PB1 and PB4 it doesn't matter actually. Does it?

No, while the code doesn't need the ...

I remove the Attiny from Digispark board, and now trying to program the "bootloader", but getting err all time with Arduino IDE.
So, in case that now I program the HEX file with Avrdude, will it overwrite the EEPROM (so the "fuses") with the code into the HEX file?


Hmmm, it seems that the ...

Can the Digispark run the same code as the DIP Atmel ATTiny85? i.e. can I load Stephen's version which seems to have better sound? Also, can you grab the code that's on the Digispark, before overwriting it, and is it in a "compiled" state?


Yes. The Digispark board is just a pcb with an ATtiny85 ...

You told me to use ICSP instead direct programming with ie. avrdude, right? What advantages has it?


If you program any Arduino or AVR (as was) microcontroller with an ICSP, the bootloader section of Flash RAM is overwritten by a chip erase. This means that there's no bootloader to delay startup ...

The Attiny takes more than 10 seconds (with my board Digispark or direct powered) to start the sound, not usable at all, in 10 seconds the microdrives has finished the reading, so led activity.

The Digisparks board has a bootloader built in. When programming it---using the Arduino IDE and a USB ...

Ok, here's an explanation of INCLUDE and EXCLUDE which I hope helps, because, as I've found, it's confusing!

I've added a better explanation to the SuperBASIC section on selecting records to make it less confusing, I hope. I also noted a typo in David Howell's original code in the example as it ...
