Description of Changes

 

First release - 9B3 project files set-up based on SP3.mcw and SP3.mcp

debugged to a working state, ported to second prototype board,

cleaned up the web page (colors)                                                                             2014.09a

 

Disabled green channel LEDs in Mute, and Rx LEDs in standby to mask

 out the residual voltage in old thru hole channel modules.

 

Merged some the latest SP3 fixes into the 9B3 code.  Hardware mod: added series diodes (green channels, 1N914) and 50k pulldowns to ground  to channel LED signals (green and red channels) to compensate voltage offsets.   Added reading back panel S1..S4 switches to set IP (2014.10a)  and Device ID:

 

S2,S3 = 01 --> 169.254.1.2/255.255.0.0, DeviceID=2

S2,S3 = 10 --> 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0,  DeviceID=1

S2,S3 = 00 --> 10.0.0.2/255.255.255.0, DeviceID=3

S2,S3 = 11 --> , DeviceID=0, DHCP on, automatic IP mode (fallback to  169.254.1.1)

(1=ON,0=OFF)

 

Back-panel switch S configuration bits (1,2,3,4) top-down, (*=default), back view:
