GP-IB support? #43

Open walshbig opened 6 years ago

walshbig commented 6 years ago

Hello

Is it possible to include the GP-IB support? I need this support for controlling our instrument. Board inside PC-9801 computer is "PC-9801-29n" or "PC-9801-29" or "PC-9801-29k" but modern computer has GPIB NI GPIB-PCII/IIA inside.

thx

I think that NP2 is not suitable for industrial or medical applications. It is just for hobby.

I think that there is no code of GPIB interfaces on C-Bus. It seems that requests of the same content are coming to other NP2 developers.

I think that it is worthwhile if it is realized.

Hello AZO234

Are you a developer yourself? If yes is that possible for you to work on this for us? If yes could you please send me your conditions? agooseventapegie (at) gmail (dot) com.

thx

NP2 has original, and my idea is added to NP2kai. I develop it only myself. (If I refer to someone's code or have an idea to become a better NP2, I'll contact the developers of the forked NP2 version etc.)

So, I cannot deal with individual offer. I'll only use this 'issues board' for contact.

Please feel free to contact @AZO234 on Twitter for non-business conversations.

Regard.

It is a note about GP-IB. There are a few possible implementations.

  1. When NP2 uses GP-IB, I/O is done with the GP-IB board connected to PC/AT.
  2. Emulate GP-IB hardware with NP2 and output 8bit data with COM etc.（1/800 speed...）
  3. Emulate GP-IB hardware with NP2 and outputs all pins to GPIO.
