AVGCART (Atari SD multicart) v0029 Firmware Update

October 22nd, 2023 No comments

A new version of the firmware for the AVGCART (SD multicart for 8bit Atari) by tmp is released.

The AVGCART is a FPGA based multicart for 8bit Atari computers, extensible with SIO and/or ECI/PBI cables.

  • supports CAR (cartridge dump) files up to 1MB and most bankswitching types
  • supports XEX (executable) files
  • supports ATR (floppy image) files (read/write) – support is limited without an optional SIO or ECI/PBI cable due to Atari cartridge port constraints (e.g. SW that uses RAM under OS does not work)
  • supports ATX (protected floppy image) files (read-only, SIO cable required)
  • supports CAS (cassette) files (SIO cable required)
  • supports AVF (video) files
  • supports PDM (audio) files
  • fast file search, file shortcuts, randomizer and tons of other features
  • when used with optional ECI/PBI cable, it can expand ATARI memory to up to 576kB, it can also provide extra 48kB RAM to stock 16kB 600XL machines (some limitations apply)
  • firmware upgradeable via SD card (no additional hw needed)
  • SIDE2 emulation (compatible with U1MB and SpartaDOS X)
  • ability to stack emulated cart with emulated SpartaDOS X cart, together with SIDE2 emulated HDD
  • unlike some other products, most of the functionality is running inside the cart and not on the host machine’s CPU which makes it faster and more versatile (it can do stuff in parallel with host machine without having to gain 6502 control and doesn’t require soldering extra internal upgrades like Ultimate 1MB for some basic functionality like ATR emulation or memory expansion)
  • compatible with 600XL, 800XL/XE, 65XE, 130XE, XEGS (cartridge shell is too wide for 1200XL, bare pcb will fit, it is also too tall for 800, can be used with cartridge door opened and door switch triggered)

Changelog (v0029):

  • Added type 83 (SIC+ 1MB)
  • 1MB extmem support for ATR files (PBI/ECI)
  • Fix for X in stacked SDX (don’t disable IDE)
  • Some search fixes
  • XEX loader fix (Getris)

i miss the old days

LCR-T7 Multifunction Tester

September 1st, 2023 No comments
LCR-T7 Multifunctional Tester

I wanted to try this cheap fucking tester on offer on Aliexpress.

I don’t have much to say, it works quite well, i tried to make some measurements of a couple of electrolytic capacitors and making the comparison between LCR-T7 and the PEAK ATLAS ESR+ (paid almost 15 times more) the measurement result it’s almost identical.

Surely the positive side of this small and fragile object that will surely stop to working one day to another :-D which allows you to measure/test a fairly vast category of components.

Example:

  • Diodes
  • Zener diodes
  • Resistors
  • Potentiometers
  • Electrolytic/Tantalum Capacitors
  • Ceramic/Polyester capacitors
  • Inductors
  • SCR
  • Triacs
  • Transistors (N-E-MOS,P-E-MOS,N-MOS,P-MOS,N-JFET,P-JFET,N-IGBT,P-IGBT)
  • Transistors PNP,NPN
  • Battery (max 4.5v)

It also has an infrared remote control decoder which i find absolutely useless.

The microcontroller used in the LCR-T7 is a clone of the ATMEL ATMEGA328, the Lucky Green LGT8F328P which is practically identical to the ATMEL but with additional capabilities such as higher speed and has a higher resolution for converting analog signals and having a digital-to-analog converter as well.

Below are the photos of the inside.
