UIRT and UIRT2 test app

JAS,

Wow, the tester looks nice. Please let me know if you find any bugs in my protocol -- I would greatly appreciate it!

How we get all these hex responses, is there a way to translate these hex responses to verbal text? Like the status of GPO outputs and their states in text?

It does not work with my UIRT2b.
Whichever button I click on, it says: "Write error (6), The handle is invalid"
My UIRT2 is on COM1. Could that be the problem? How can I set the COM port to COM1?
Anyway my UIRT2 works properly. ;)

Thanx a lot.

Hi all
Since I had problems getting the girder setup working with my newly built UIRT2 I made a small PC test app to get started with. If you want something to try yours with you can find my app at http://w1.864.telia.com/~u86435834/UIRT_test.zip

Use right mouse-click to bring up the com-port selector which by default is set to com2.....

Nothing worth mentioning sofar. I'm in greate awe what you've been able to squeze into the PIC:

At the moment all communication is shown with hex codes matching Johns description of the protocol. I might change this later to give a less cryptical output but the intention with the program is more to do some initial verification of your UIRT.

Some less obvious features are:
* You can resend a command by clicking the textline
* Checksum is added automatically if needed
* Com Port selection is done byright clicking the window

Some new features in the 1.1 version:
* Suport for a two wire interface towards a LCD controller
* Help and schematics for the LCD interface
* Possible to init, send nibbles and Chars to the LCD
* Help window with the UIRT protocol description


Good luck!

The reset part has now been fixed and an update is available at my site. I have added a reset button for those of you using Luc's UIRT2 design.

Good luck

The UIRT test app is pretty cool but doesn't work quite right with my UIRT2. It seems that it isn't bringing RTS high so the PIC never comes out of reset. If I pull the zener then everything starts working.
