I contacted WCH ( #WinChIpHead ) AGAIN via their website asking technical questions about undocumented commands. AGAIN... nothing #tumbleweed . They clearly don't want to release their secret CH375B commands #FFS Ironically this is typical of #Chinese companies ☹️

Last Friday I emailed #WinChipHead customer support via their English webpage. Fingers crossed that I get a reply. To be fair, I last emailed their support a few years ago, and they sent me the English translated datasheet 👍 for that product.

Found this while looking for information on the #WinChipHead CH375B, which is currently driving me crazy with it's behaviour (parallel mode). TBH all these headaches could be avoided if the documentation was better and gave example use case.

When searching the web for some help on a chip, I ran into this nice bit of shade from the OpenBSD team. :-) > Driver for WinChipHead CH341/340, the worst USB-serial chip in the world. #L32-L36" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/openbsd/src/bl…

@AllArduino Are you using the 375B in serial or parallel mode. I have having headaches using it in parallel mode, due to unexpected behaviour. Simply the datasheet is missing important information.

As I have discovered can be frustrating to get this chip to work reliably (at least in parallel mode), cos the datasheet does not document all commands. Example use cases are ABSENT. E.g. I read the STATUS register, but the chip returned the important value from the DATA register

I offered some historical (UK) IC stuff (wafers, mask, dev boards, documentation) to the Cambridge Centre for Computing History @computermuseum , but they couldn't even be bothered to reply to my emails. Agree we really need a national vintage computer/electronics museum.

Is there anyone out there able & willing to take on starting/running a vintage UK electrical museum ? eevblog.com/forum/chat/mee…

So I'm using the WCH ( #WinChipHead ) CH375B parallel/serial to USB device. Disasembling the DOS SYS driver reveals they are using "commands" which they do not document in the datasheet. #FFS

So I'm using the WCH ( #WinChipHead ) CH375B parallel/serial to USB device. Documentation is poor (lacking in important details) and a little buggy too. This chip is currently driving me crazy, sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. 🤪

I've just install #KiCad6 . I was confused by the colour change. I finally found the menu option which allows me to select the "classic" colour scheme. Would be nice to have an easy to digest "things which have changed" article.
@[email protected]@joncraftyjon
@kicad_pcb has a new default color theme! (not a fan? the "classic" theme is still available, as are many user-created themes at github.com/pointhi/kicad-…)

So turns out is was a problem caused by the toolset and NOT by my new PC as some "experts" in the Xilinx forum had suggested. Root cause was hyper-threading in the Ryzen chip. Fixed by upgrading the BIOS which allowed me to disable this setting.

So @Xilinxinc just bought a new Ryzen9 PC (for faster compiles). Installed Vivado 2020.2 . As soon as I try to synthesize, CRASH . No #BSOD just a black screen and re-boot. Posted in the community forum but keep getting told "your PC is broken" #unlikely

@migry_tech The gifts are not created for influencers, it is made for all our customers. These gifts are randomly distributed by the packaging team so we don't even know who's the receiver of the gift : )
It is 100% given by luck so we hope that you get a gift in your next order.
English
No @JLCPCB you didn't read my tweet propery. It was an expensive order bit NO GOODIES were included. No badge, No ruler, NO jigsaw parts. NO nothing :-( I've got goodies before and I see you send them to your YouTube infuencers.
migry@migry_tech
Just received my mega package of 11 different PCBs from @JLCPCB . Manufactured and delivered in super fast time. But no freebies! :-( No pen. No badge. No jigsaw. Perhaps only @YouTube influencers get these goodies ?

Dear @winbond_Japan @winbondflash is it REALLY necessary to protect the Verilog source of your SDRAM (and no doubt other types) memories? I can't get the model to compile with @XilinxInc Isim. The release notes are TOTALLY lacking in information regarding tool compatibility.

@migry_tech These are from 4 different sellers, actually. The SRAM even comes from one major electronic store, and is brand new. I didn't try this particular EEPROM in the burner yet, however. No idea about the '008, but I guess one way to find out!
English
Look like fake devices to me. The bat wing logo on the 68008 should be much muich better qualkity. The laser etched parts could have been sanded down salvaged parts.

@apt Yep, that's pretty normal. My 130XE is much worse! I ran an Atari emulator recently (can't remember which one), because I wanted to play Zeppelin. I noticed that the video emulated the vertical banding you see, and was a little soft. That's taking emulation really seriously!
English
I've hooked up the 65XE to a USB capture dongle into my Mac (I don't have the appropriate connection on my TV) and I'm not sure if it's the dongle or the monitor port that's causing these artefacts (notice the vertical banding and edges of text/screen). Anyone? #atarti8bit
