I've successfully completed testing a card that I designed for my own use that connects to the D shell connector of the Slinke. The simple 4.3" x 3.2" card provides termination and optical isolation for seven Xantech receivers. It also optically isolates the IR transmit signals originating from the Slinke module. It does not operate stand-alone--it simple provides isolation and demodulation of received Xantech signals for the slinke. The card uses an Altera 7064 PLD to demodulate the Xantech signals. The same card can be used with a different PLD program to provide IO expansion via the slinke DIO signals. I've programmed the prototypes using the Altera Byteblaster, but I'm adding the ability to program the PLD through the SLINKE. The card is 100% SMT, except for the D shell connectors and 100 mil terminal blocks. It is currently a two-sided card. The screw type. 100 mil spacing terminal blocks have five signals each: ISO_RX ISO_TX +12 DIRTY_GND SHIELD The unit uses a separate, 12V supply to provide power to the Xantech receivers and to power the isolated IR transmit signals. The DIRTY_GND and +12 come from the 12V supply. The +12V powers the Xantech receivers while the ISO_RX is the output signal from the Xantech receivers. The shield is optional, but if used can be connected to ground at either end (but not both) of the interconnecting wire. If there is sufficient interest, I'd get more cards fabricated. I might change the card size slightly to fit in the same cover as the slinke. (The existing card form factor was designed to fit on the back of a rack mounted, 66 punch down block). Also, seven Xantech interfaces may be overkill. For my personal use, I converted one of the opto isolation circuits for control-s. (While slink provides an slinke interface, it does not provide isolation and therefore ties the ground of the slink card to the controlled/controlling appliance). Previously, I had about five people express interest. That wouldn't be enough to get the cards fabricated and populated at a reasonable cost. I'd have to do the soldering myself and just don't have the time. I'd need about 100 orders to set up a vendor to populate the cards. If I get signficant interest, I'll get some quotes.

Moving the thumb to the right, adjusting the columns so there is no horizontal scroll bar, or turning Helper Bars off lets the counter update normally.

In other words, evaluate the query, store 1 bits for all the tracks that match, and turn them off as you play them? When there are no 1-bits left, evaluate the query again. rebuild the bit-array, and start over? This guarantees no false replays.

I requested earlier that it not be updated until CDJ makes the change to the next track in the play list, and at first I thought that this is the new behavior. Unfortunately, there are a number of tracks whose number of times played has *not* been updated. I also notice that the time-played is usually significantly less than the track length. Perhaps there is a connection? If so, it's not absolute. For example, I have a track already played that's 5:34 long, marked as having been played one time for a playtime of 5:15. Another track is 4:42 long, shows as having been played 0 times for a playtime of 4:23. The time-played isn't being updated as of the time CDJ stops play, although perhaps it's the fact that I'm running a slow Pentium (75 or 90MHz). It isn't just a display problem, If I exit CDJ, restart it and do a search on tracks played in the last day, they show up with the same information From j.schaffer@snet.net Fri, 6 Oct 2000 18:05:34 -0400 Date: Fri, 6 Oct 2000 18:05:34 -0400 From: Jeff Schaffer j.schaffer@snet.net Subject: AW: [slinkelist] Please help Thanks for the reply.

Is this correct? 1 - 2 - Black - IR.TX 3 - Red - 12 volts 4 - Green - Ground 5 - Yellow - IR.RX data line 6 - Is there 5 volts available or just 12? I thought 100mA at 5v was listed in the slinke_features.htm file as being available through the expansion port? If I'm wrong on the pin-outs above, which lines are used for the emitters and which ones are used for the receivers?(power, ground, tx data?, rx data?) Also is the RX data line kept at a high value and then pulsed low to transfer the data? I've made a set of transmitters and receivers that work, but I'm new to this and I want to make sure I'm not doing something wrong and I don't want to damage the slink-e by hooking something up incorrectly.

And the new feature in CDJ to select which sound card the MP3 player uses works perfectly. A couple of things though: The choices in the list box for the output device are kind of cryptic. On my machine it looks like this: (default) /dev/wave/0 /dev/wave/1 /dev/wave/2 /dev/wave/3 /dev/dsound/0 /dev/dsound/1 /dev/dsound/2 /dev/dsound/3 It took me a couple of tries but I figured out that /dev/wave/1 was one sound card and /dev/wave/2 was another. It also took me some time to figure out that when you make the change in the option dialog it doesn't take place right away, you have to exit and restart CDJ for it to take effect.

It's all >documented in the help file under "CDJ." > >-Shawn What a Fine Manual! If only I had read it... *sigh* Well, it's -almost- what I want. (I know, I know, I'm never satisfied) The buttons work fine... after a little futzing with the setup: - The instructions inside the { } need to begin with CDJ: - The example in the MAPS.TXT file for VCR:0 is the style to follow; you can chain a number of instructions under one button It would still be nice (: if the search just completed popped into the search window on the screen. Could the USER.BMP button bitmap be added to the list in OPTIONS / FILES&DIRECTORIES, defaulting to the as-shipped default in the CDJ.EXE directory? It would prevent overlays during upgrades. And the buttons are nice for pre-defined searches that get used a lot (I've added my 3 favorites), but it's a lot of work for a one-off search that you might want again that day, but never again. I'd still like the drop-down list of the last 'n' searches. Is it possible to force the display to switch to the appropriate SEARCH_MODE[DISC|TRACK] as a result of the last search executed from a user button? --Paul E Musselman PaulMmn@ixnetcom.com From mypeter@bigfoot.com Mon, 9 Oct 2000 00:02:44 -0700 Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2000 00:02:44 -0700 From: Peter Myers mypeter@bigfoot.com Subject: [slinkelist] Cross Fade This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_01F3_01C03184.3FC51AA0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I've got four (soon to be five) changers that I use with a mixer.
