[question] Can UART output provide same information as LCDs? #5

Closed Nic30 closed 10 months ago

Nic30 commented 11 months ago

I have a question about configuration without LCD where all output is send trough UART. ctester-1.50m.pdf describes this configuration as VT100 driver.

If I underestand correctly this functionality is implemented in lcd-routines-serial.c . Looking at the https://github.com/kubi48/TransistorTester-source/blob/master/trunk/lcd-routines-serial.c#L301 it seems to me that some features are missing. I am trying to figure out if there is only some icon missing or the whole information is missing.

The trunk sources refer to the "k" version of the software.

The "m" versions are in the Markus folder in a packed version. The latest version is ComponentTester-1.50m.tgz.

As far as I know, the serial output is there in the serial.c routine.

 

In the "k" version, the serial output is in the assembler function swuart.S .

With the "k" version there is only a simplified serial output with ASCII characters.

For example, a resistor is shown as "1-RR-2" instead of the graphic representation on an LCD display.

Does console output contain for example transistor type and pin numbering?
Is it possible to control menu trough the console? Is there some example of console output? "2.7.7. Communication with PC" section in doc contains something. But I do not know if it is possible for example execute calibration or pwm tool.

@kubi48 Thank you for your response. I am still little bit lost in transistor tester versions. Have you by any chance seen any version which can run on STM32 and supports 5v+ (to test mosfets properly)?

kubi48 commented 10 months ago

I don't know of any STM32 version with 5V operating voltage.

Both software versions are adapted to the 8-bit AVR with 5V operating voltage.

OK, thank you for answer.
