RVController Loader Setup and Usage =================================== The loader is used to load programs in Intel HEX format into RVController's memory. To use it, connect digilines as shown: +---------------+ +---------------+ | Luacontroller | |\ | | Luacontroller | | |============| >|============| | | (loader) | |/ | |(RVController) | +---------------+ Diode +---------------+ || || +---------------+ || || | Digiterms | || ||=========| CRT Monitor | +---------------+ || | | | Advanced | || | Channel | | Touchscreen | || | "monitordisp" | | | || +---------------+ | Channel | || | "touchscreen" | || +---------------+ +---------------+ || | Digiterms | ||=========| Keyboard | || | | || | Channel | || | "monitorkb" | || +---------------+ || || +---------------+ \ || | Digiterms | | ||=========| CRT Monitor | | || | | | || | Channel | | || | "stdout" | | || +---------------+ | || +-- Optional, only needed || +---------------+ | for program I/O || | Digiterms | | ||=========| Keyboard | | || | | | || | Channel | | || | "stdin" | | || +---------------+ / vv To other peripherals Note that the advanced touchscreen must be connected before the loader Luacontroller is programmed. If the Luacontroller was accidentally programmed first, program it again after connecting the touchscreen. The diode may be from either digiline_routing or digicontrol. Once the loader is set up and RVController is ready to receive a program: 1. On the loader touchscreen, select or unselect the "Run after load" option, depending on the desired behavior. 2. Paste the contents of an Intel HEX file into the loader touchscreen, then click "Load" 3. RVController will automatically reset, then addresses will scroll across the monitor display as data is loaded. 4. When loading is complete, the program will automatically start if "Run after load" was selected in step 1.
