BV Com
Ian macdonald
machine, it can see the correct com port and the FTDI drivers are
installed, if I switch to hyperterminal it works ok
I want to use tload as I could not find any of my microSD cards, I was
close under linux but it locks after sending the first line of code, I
can send an ACK or have a delay but not both together which I think is
the problem with Linux.
Anyone any ideas?

I`m on windows 7 and tload as stopped working right for me, so my only
way to load code is via
xload to "?.bas" command.
If I try tload I just get a very quick o.k , after sending all a part
of the code.
I think it`s because of the xmodem error checking
All the best Peter

I think I may be able to help with this one. To use 'tload' (text
load), you need to use BV-Com with the text transfer settings set so
that it sends '6' at the end of each line called 'end of line wait for
char', (in text settings) tload should wait for this character before
sending the next line. Also when using tload, xmodem transfer is not
used but text transfer (one of the yellow icons). when you get it
going it works quite well and is much quicker (less mouse clicks) then
xmodem.
BV-Com is written in Delphi and could do with some updating, I can let
anybody who is interested have the source code, the only problem is
that the COM component is a commercial one called 'TMS async32'

I had to give up and spend an hour looking for a spare sd card which was
then formatted wrong and needed a low level format.
I am now using hyperterminal via a XP virtual machine with the xload,
which is ok
I am testing your bug, or at least trying to, have just got started and
am playing catch up with how to program the board.
If I just set up the variables and just try recasting the variables they
seem ok, from your description though I will need to get your program
running in a loop to test it properly.
Cheers

The big part of the problem is I don't run a windows pc just a VM and
the BV-com does not seem to work with the FTDI driver in a Virtual
Machine but hyperterminal does, very strange.

Judging from the problem I would suspect the 'TMS async32' is at fault,
I will have a search.
Thanks for the info
