FAQ:

Q: Can I use MSP430-JTAG-TINY with XYZ development IDE/tools?
A: MSP430.dll which is provided with MSP430-JTAG-TINY is100% compliant to Texas Instruments MSP430.dll and will work with *every* development software which supports the original TI MSP430-FET and MSP430-USBFET hardware platforms, we have tested EW-MSP430, Rowley CrossWorks, our customers have reported sucess with MSPGCC.

Q: Other companies charge money for MSP430 programming software, why yours is free?
A: To write MSP430 programming software using the TI MSP430.dll is very easy job, there would be probably tons of such programmers available if TI was not keeping the DLL content secret. The programmer software we offer is beta testing software so it may have bugs although we use it for years in house. Now we decided to release it for the public as we got number of request if we know for such software . As we are more hardware company than software and we never got involved in sales of software we decided just to release it as freeware and not hassle with software copy protections and such.Note that it's not open source but copyrighted software, but it cost you nothing to obtain or distribute it. We are going to fix all reported bugs in timely manner but keep in mind that it's not commercial project and our peoples have lot of other stuff to do.

FAQ:

Q: Can I use PIC-WEB as TCP-IP to RS232 bridge?
A:Yes, the default demo software we ship PIC-WEB with creates TCP-IP-to-RS232 bridge at port 9761, i.e. if you have connected for instance MOD-RFID125-BOX to it and you listen to PIC-WEB IP port: 9761 you can read the RFID tag info remotely by Ethernet. This way we have online connected one DuinoMite-Mega board with RS232 connected to PIC-WEB at http://duinomite.olimex.com if you telnet at duinomite.olimex.com at port 9761 you will have access to virtual console and write BASIC code on our Duinomite which is located in our lab

What's New at Dontronics?

===== Edition 87 Newsletter To Here 19-Feb-2012 ======

19-Feb-2012

Like many companies, Dontronics has had to change direction during the last couple of years in order to survive.

We have had to drop many items that have been slow to move, or not moving at all, and are basically getting out of micros, and general components, as many of these can be purchased post free from overseas companies. It is now a global market, and it is obvious that users will chase the best prices on line that they can get.

The products that have continued to sell well, we will of course continue to stock.

Here is a list of categories, of the items we have been selling at discount prices, and we have been dropping these prices at the rate of 5% each and every month:

http://www.dontronics-shop.com/minus-5-every-month.html
http://www.dontronics-shop.com/ics.html
http://www.dontronics-shop.com/minus-5-every-month-olimex-boards.html
http://www.dontronics-shop.com/minus-5-every-month-4dsystems-elexol.html

Many of these are already selling at 90%+ off.

and we are selling off all of our SimmStick Stock at prices from $1 to $2 a board:
http://www.dontronics-shop.com/simmstick-and-related.html

For us, the most exciting product to come along in the last 6 months, has been the Maximite and DuinoMite items.

Here is our running short text description for the DuinoMite version:

DuinoMite the PIC32 $35 Basic Computer-MicroController
http://www.dontronics-shop.com/the-maximite-computer.html
Just add a VGA monitor or TV, and PS2 Keyboard.
Arduino Shield, Programmed in Basic, or C.

And recently, we have added all of the below items to the MaxiMite and DuinoMite range:

http://www.dontronics-shop.com/olimex-battery-lipo1400mah.html
http://www.dontronics-shop.com/olimex-duinomite-mega-box-only.html
http://www.dontronics-shop.com/test-a-mite.html
http://www.dontronics-shop.com/maximite-accessories.html
http://www.dontronics-shop.com/duinomite-uext-boards.html

Because of the pricing and versatility, we believe that the MaxiMite and DuinoMite products will be replacing a lot of existing compilers, programmers, development boards, and is a good entry level for students and beginners introduction into electronics and programming today, as there are already many practical projects up and running. For examples, see:
http://www.duinomite.com/category/applications/

===== Edition 86 Newsletter To Here 28-Nov-2011 ======

2011-11-25 Olimex UEXT MOD-IO Now working on the DuinoMite under MM-BASIC:
INFO: MOD-IO is stackable development board which add analog and digital inputs and outputs to any of our development boards with UEXT. If you work with any of our development boards with UEXT connector and you need more digital and analog iniputs and outputs you can add these by connecting MOD-IO to your development board. This board allow easy interfacing to 4 relays, 4 optoisolated digital inputs, 4 analog inputs. MOD-IO is stack-able and addressable, what does this means? these boards can plug together so you can add as many as you want input and outputs! i.e. 8, 12 etc! MOD-IO have ATmega16 microcontroller and the firmware is available for modification.
Demo code, videos, includes change address, relay on, relay off, and run relays on two boards all from Basic.

HARDWARE:

SOFTWARE:

DemoSoft PIC32-MAXI-WEB v1.00 This example project demonstrates the functionality of the various peripherals of the board including user input, serial communication, Graphical User Interface (GUI) and Network connectivity. The demo is built upon the following Microchip's freely distributed support libraries:
- Microchip Graphics Library v2.00
- Microchip TCP/IP Stack Library v.5.20
- Microchip MDD File System Library
- Microchip USB support source files
- FreeRTOS was used to make all tasks run virtually simultaneously. FreeRTOS is a freely distributed RTOS with excellent support and online documentation. Version used is v6.0.2. MPLAB has support for FreeRTOS (Tools/RTOS viewer).
-Wireless internet support when MOD-WIFI is connected on UEXT

The Test-a-Mite Letter.

We can post off the Test-a-Mite bare printed circuit board in a letter, world wide at a very cheap rate. In fact, we will do it for an extra $2.

So if you want to purchase a blank bare "Test-a-Mite" Printed Circuit board, and have us post it out as a letter, then this is the page for you. This doesn't include any components. We can't send components in an Air Mail letter at standard Air Mail letter rates, but we can send small printed ciruit boards.

If you want to add even the simplest component, then you are on the wrong page, and need to go to:
http://www.dontronics-shop.com/test-a-mite.html

This product page is designed for users that simply want a bare printed circuit board and don't wish to pay a fortune for shipping, and then possibly get stuck with custom fees and other import duties.

When checking out, please make sure you make it free shipping. Yes, you have to select this.
If you don't, you will be charged shipping for your area, as all orders may not be manually scanned, so you need to tell us if you made a mistake on this free shipping selection.

All information can be found HERE including some short video clips of a DuinoMite-mini connected to the Test-A-Mite doing each of the Fun LED chases

Prices:
Order any number of blank Test-a-Mite Boards up to 5 boards, and it will only cost you $2 extra for an Air Mail Letter World Wide.

Additional boards will be at the base rate. So if you order 5, it will still only cost you $2 for postage. Any more than 5 boards, and you should be looking at better discount prices for normal postage rates.

Australian customers, this will be a standard post office letter.
