W1209-CA-V2: another variation of the Common Anode boards

[TG9541]

Hi, it looks like I've found another variation of the Common Anode boards (bought on Ebay in 2016) which has totally different pin mappings, and a different layout please see the Readme.txt in the attached zipfile.

@g7bbg that's a nice find!

This variant looks actually better than most of the W1209 designs I've seen. Maybe it could be a starting point a "W1209 NG" design with direct access to a serial interface?

Would you care about following the "Fork - Pull-Request" process? If you're new to Git or GitHub I can help you getting started.

Yes I would be pleased to go through the Fork/Pull process, as you correctly surmised I am new to GitHub and would certainly apreciate the help to get it started :-)

@g7bbg that a lot easier to do than getting the STM8 eForth tool-chain up and running :-)

• prerequisite: Git client installed and SSH configured in GitHub
• in the repo click on the Fork button to the right
• in your fork of stm8ef (i.e. g7bbg/stm8ef) click Clone or download, Use SSH and "copy to clipboard" (icon)
• in your usual "source" folder run git clone git@github.com:g7bbg/stm8ef.git (i.e. the repository URL in you clipboard)
• cd into the sandbox and make a branch for the changes and change into it: git checkout -b W1209-CA-V2
• copy the W1209-CA-V2 board config folder and files from your previous source directory into your sandbox (just the Readme.Txt renamed to README.md and the files globconfig.inc and boardcore.inc - the photos and the hex files will go somewhere else later on)
• add the folder to your branch git add W1209-CA-V2/ and commit it git commit -a -m "new board W1209-CA-V2"
• push your branch to your fork: git push origin -u W1209-CA-V2
• change to GitHub and click on New pull request:
• select your new branch and TG9541/stm8ef as the target
• write fixes #275 in the comment and create the request

The process above contains steps that you only need to do once or that are part of a normal development cycle with Git anyway. If you have questions (or if something doesn't work) please let me know it!

Thomas, Hi I've updated the stm8 stuff as per your instructions and HOPEFULLY got it right.

Regards Brian

@g7bbg

Hi Brian, yes, you got it right! Congrats!

I'll do some additional changes, like formatting of the README.md.

@g7bbg I merged the new board now:

• I added target.inc which I forgot to mention
• the DOS line endings in your files have been removed
• the README.md contains the pictures above
• the Makefile includes your build The next (pre-) release will contain the binary.

Please note that I'm thinking of moving most board definitions to "board repository" (see #272 and STM8EF-MODBUS).
