Free mouse to PS/2 adapter PCBs!!!! Genuine giveaway!!

Mounty · 17 July 2013, 16:01

I have 12 of the MKII Amiga/Atari to PS/2 mouse adapter circuit boards that have been slightly damaged by the apprentice guy who we since fired (ok it was me but don't tell anyone). See pic for more details.

http://i42.tinypic.com/erizhf.jpg

I've decided to give them away to anyone who wants to play with them. They are all an easy fix, most have a track cut with a slip of the cutting tool, some two tracks. Just a case of soldering a bit of wire across.

First come first served, one per person. The first twelve PMs in my inbox gets them. I'll try to give the best ones to the earliest PMs.

You will just need to pay shipping (£1 UK, £2 Europe, £3 World).

If I don't get back to you, you'll know you were too slow

I just can't bear to throw stuff in the bin when I know they could be useful to someone.

I've still got half a dozen left - come on guys there be a few soldering iron jockeys out there!

P.s all those who have paid, I have shipped yours today :-)

Interested in one. PM sent

scrappysphinx · 23 July 2013, 10:59

Arrived this morning. Thanks very much

alexh · 26 July 2013, 12:16

Mine arrived this morning. Many thanks.

Soldered on the PS2 connector.
Soldered on the 9-pin D cable (salvaged from an old mouse)
Soldered on the 100nf capacitor.
Soldered wires connecting the double line (Amiga).
Soldered a wire on the *top side* of the board from pad 2 to PIC pin 2. (This fixes the single broken track on the *bottom side* on my board)

Where can I get the binary/hex file for loading onto the PIC? I've got my "Elvis" (ad-teknik ab multiprogrammer 3.5) out.

Q) Are you KMTech? Or did they just make the boards for you?

cpiac64 · 26 July 2013, 14:28

tomorrow back to home from week of holiday, need file for pic

waltermixxx · 27 July 2013, 03:24

cheers

cpiac64 · 27 July 2013, 18:04

more type on aminet and other forum, i need value of capacitor and other components for correct mount

alexh · 28 July 2013, 10:16

Pretty much everything is written on the silk screen.

100 nf where there is a space for a capacitor.
PIC16F628 where there is space for a PIC.
PS/2 where there is space for a PS/2 mouse connector.

On the bottom of the board it says how to fit jumpers (or solder links) to switch between Atari and Amiga operation. (Single line & double line)

You're welcome.

Yes, I am KMTech. I designed the boards and had them made for myself.

alexh · 29 July 2013, 18:43

Thanks for the PIC hex file. Fingers crossed mine will be working tonight. If I can remember how to use the Multiprogrammer software.

If anyone else in the UK needs a PIC and it programmed send me a PM and I'll forward you one.

Mounty · 29 July 2013, 18:59

I still have four of those faulty boards left if anyone else wants any.

Anyone who burns the hex file please note:

Specify the internal oscillator.

Enable the watchdog timer and brownout detection (BODEN)

Disable everything else.

Enjoy!!
