Ok I have some bad news..........
The LCD demo in PB does not work on it, the LCD is hardwired to other port pins.
Two remedies exist.
1) Change the source to a ql200 specific LCD demo
2) Pull all 14 jumpers off the QL200 connector, and using supplied jumper wires, connect the right pins to port a / b etc....
I went for option 2, I think 1 would be better, anyway the LCD showed garbage...........
At one point it did a clear screen and stayed that way for 15 minutes, I thought I broke it...
After getting annoyed at this I tried a few other pics with the simple led flash, the 57 worked, the 84a worked, the 2550 would not.....
I seem to have hit my usual 2550 issue, i cant get it to run at the right speed, in fact it ignores all the settings I changed, and even pulling the crystal off made no difference.
Wondering if I have a bad 1550 batch, or the hex is bad......(Hint for a good led flasher hex at 20mhz)
MCS will start ql-progen.exe, but I have not yet found the correct command line parameters for it, or any mention of them in the non existent help files, so playing with that and I have emailed the HK author in english, I hope he understands...........
After many hours of issues something else has gone wrong, mpasm is running without error, but I am getting no hex file output, I tried a search by date for new files created, zero..... after 30 minute of this I gave up, but today is another day....
I think I need to start a new thread for this board... (hex, wasnt joking honest!)
