Hi,

Just received 5 3D Printed Resin Cases:

The cases are not quite Black, but really nice quality.

Just need to programme the Teensy ++2.0, and solder the components to the PCB.


Regards,

Derek

Hi Martyn,

I am using the PCBs and cases designed by Marcel.

Here are the PCB top and bottom side by side:
IMG_20231215_201420641.jpg

I have a question relating to Marcel's PCB functionality, which I Marcel about Expansion Connector J4, in message: viewtopic.php?p=41197#p41197

there was no real reason given for the SIL connector designated J4.

According to the data sheet for Teensy ++2.0 and the PCB, Connector J4 is defined as:

Code: Select all

J4 Teensy Signal
1  F4 PF4
2  F3 PF3
3  F2 PF2
4  F1 PF1
5  F0 PF0
6  R  AREF
7  0V GND
8  E6 PE6
9  E7 PE7
10 B0 PB0
11 B1 PB1
12 B2 PB2
13 B3 PB3
14 5V VCC
Can the functionality of the QLUB made to use the about connections.

Hi

I have built a single QLUB PCB and programmed the Teensy ++2.0 with QLUB_v23M_ND-MQ_v.01 code.

I connected QLUB to Q68 running NDQ68_v305 QL Network driver, ser Q68 as NET 1 and run FSERVE.

Connecting a QL Network lead from Q68 to QLUB

The QLUB is connected to a Linux PC USB port 0 : /dev/ttyACM0

Running SMSQmulator v3 and set Serial port SER1 to /dev/ttyACM0

The Linux USB serial Port needs timming constraints set with l
"loadNDMQ_BAS", the LRESPR the ndmq_v101_bin file. loads the network driver. Setting SMSQmulator to Net station 2 with NET 2... and DIR N1_WIN1_ gives directory of Q68 WIN1 drive. So all working.

I have also got QPC2 and Q-emulator, under Wine, working with QLUB to the Q68. By adding an entry to the WINE Registry for dev/ttyACM0 to map to COM1 as detailed in Wine User Guide.

No need to use Windows for QPC2 to access Serial port...

I just have to fit an external LED and push button for the Teensy reset option.


Regards,

Derek
