My Minerva mk2 died a few years ago. but I think I still have some code on my old ROMdisk. Let me check.
Hi François,

Have managed to get the LCD working now, but if you do manage to find any sample code sometime that would be great please

Many thanks
Tony

Here is what I could salvage. Not sure I can explain a lot. I did it to test breadboard for the Iridium Next Satellite Constellation 15 years ago.

FYI, the I2C minerva was used in conjunction with the power board from TF Services. I assume you have all the program examples that came with those board ?

No, nothing like that. Just the mk2 manual and utilities from Dilwyn’s site. Haven’t seen the TF services power board software available to download anywhere yet. Maybe there’s still a copyright issue

Hi,

Tony Firshman has allowed me to reproduce all his I2C interfaces, with his genuine parts, manuals, and software, I will see if there is any other Software driver disks in the package handed over. Tony is more interested in 3D Printing the I2C interface cases.

I am in the process of converting the paper circuit diagrams in the manuals into KiCad projec files, so more PCBs can be produced.

The package of I2C parts and Minerva MKII interfaces are in a bad sate, due to no being stored correctly, so a little bit of work to make the hardware in a marketable product.


Regards,

Derek

If there are any manuals for any of those interfaces, Derek, I'd be happy to add them to the other TF Services replacement manuals on my site for users to download.
