Detector V2.60 (KIT) Firmware Upgrade!
(Message 3441)
Posted 2953 days ago by appu I didn't found the schematic yet but if i remember correctly you can power it via the 6pin Header Found the Schmetaic here. The only thing i had to do was to make a connection bewtween the 6pin header of the GigerCounter and my 10pin header of my ISP. I also used the ISP to powering the Counter during flashing. |

Posted 2956 days ago by appu Well, I just bricked my detector, I can not sit still :) You will need and ISP (In-System-Programmer) to run avrdude. Take a look on the "-c" switch of avrdude. It will show you all compatible AVR-ISPs. I have a STK500v2 compatible bought on ebay for about 20€ An USBTiny adapter costs about 12€ |

Posted 3032 days ago by appu Hey guys, I've found an AVR-ISP in my drawer and flashed the .hex file via avrdude. Now its working again. best wishes andreas |

Posted 3032 days ago by appu Hey guys, i've got three V2.6 Kit (last year i think) with Firmware 1.0 I've tried to update the 1 Detector with Version 1.1 It looks good so far - µC Info worked and i tried to flash the V1.1 release. Also done. But then nothing happens. Connecting Putty to the RS232 Terminal it shows only the '?' on and on and on. Looks like the µC hangs continuously in boot mode. The Flash File is about 17 kB is that right ? (The Flash tool reports only 6190 Bytes) Is there anyway to get / flash the V1.0 Release Kind regards andreas |

Posted 3568 days ago by appu Provocator Hi, I have negative polarity on output from transformer (-200 V). So diode D2 is closed and on C13, C10 is no voltage. I Suppose that transformer's winding is reversed. Unfortunately I see no chance to repair it. Any idea? If you have a -200V and the winding of the transformer are reversed then you solder the transformer from the bottom of the PCB ;-) Kidding aside... but i would say you have placed D2 in the wrong direction. Its a simply Diode Bridge which will let only the postive Voltage thru the Diode (if its placed right). Check the direction of the Diode D2. The Kathode Mark on the Diode should be point / soldered to C13 - Anode to the transformer |

Like "C1, C4, C5, C6, C7, C14, C16" those are also monolithic. Should be a default Ceramic Cap (MLCC). A short sentence from the EN Wikipedia "It was an American company in the midst of the Apollo program, launched in 1961, pioneered the stacking of multiple discs to create a monolithic block. This “multi-layer ceramic capacitor” (MLCC) was compact and offered high-capacitance capacitors"
You mean R3 & R4 ? These are pull-ups for SCL & SDA and should be already placed on your I2C Expander. Also don't mount VR1 & T2 |

Posted 3572 days ago by appu It should start without Display, startup delay is about 3sec. My first thought was also that the system doesn't work, because the Display shows only the black-Char Bars - native I2C Display from Winstar. I measured the 20 Mhz Freq - OK also took a look on the TxD from the ATMega - there was traffic. After some time i found the mistake. My Display had on Pin 15 (Vee on the Schematic) a negative Vcc Output. This pin is connected with the 10k Poti for the contrast. So the contrast dind't go over 0 Volt and was always black. I disabled / removed the negative Vee Output from the Display and make a bridge with 10 Ohm in serie to Vcc. After setting the contrast the display works fine, also the backlight. |
