Re: Re: Specifying which device to program

Let us combine Scott's suggestion with
the question.

Using Scott's suggestion of configuring a DigIn either high or low
to indicate which SBC you have, then combine both codes into one
and in YOUR CODE have the code configure the functions to be
executed based on this DigIn level.

Now that I think of it I have done this so much I did not see the
solution until Scott mentioned it, WOW!

I need to step back out of the forest so I can see the trees
again!

Good answer Scott.

Thanks.

As far as Zworld/Rabbit/Digi goes now days, I am just doing
support for my old customers now.

All new designs are on the Android platform using Basic
4 Android as the IDE.

With the BeagleBone Black 1GHZ board/design, my new controls are
blowing away any of the Digi designs, in both speed and
simplicity,

and I get to offer my customers, a color touch screen with a high
resolution LCD systems for the HMI, when needed.

I keep asking for technical support from Digi, and it came in
spurts and sputters with a hard road to achieve any solution.

I do not see any future with Rabbit/Digi products, in my business
of developing embedded micro controller systems for the oil field
industry.

They look like they purchased Rabbit to shut it down over time.

Whatever I have moved on.

Bye Bye Rabbit, it has been fun hopping around with you, but you
no longer appear to be going the direction my customers want to
go!

I will be unsubscribing to this forum.

Thanks Scott, keep up the good works.

goes to the right Rabbit. Lets assume I have Rabbit A and
Rabbit B. I have two copies of Dynamic C running on a
single PC. I plug in the cable to Rabbit A and go to
"Project Options > Communications" and choose an
available com port say (com1) in this example. I then plug
in the cable to Rabbit B and choose another comport
(com2). Everything is fine. However it would be very bad
if I sent Rabbits B program to Rabbit A board (Input and
output not compatible). This could happen if I am careless
about the connections. I thought that each of the boards
might have a serial number and you could perhaps address
this in the code?

Each board will have the MAC address in the ID block.

You could read it with the debugger but only after loading
a program.

You could ground a pin on one module and pull up the pin
on the other so

your software could tell (or read with the debugger.)
