    Hi All I have been trying to use input pin C.4 ( pin3 on the chip ) as an discrete input. The test code is just to switch the output states of pins B0 to B7 to see what happens. However , on the simulator and the real world device, Its like the 18M2 Crashes until the input goes low again? So...

    How can I stop a bit counter from underflowing ?

    Hi All I have set up a bit as a counter. So for example b1=10, I then count this down via b1=b1-1. The problem is that once I count down to 0 ( zero ), if I then count one less I get and underflow which the sets the value of b1 to 255 then 254 etc How can I stop b1 from underflowing if it...

    08M2 PWM Help to drive a magnet

    Hi I need to use a 08M2 to drive a magnet on a pinball on a home made pinball. These magnets run extremely hot if constantly "on" cooking the playfield and eventually tripping the ,magnets protection thermal . So the comercial pinball systems use a PWM to help run them a bit cooler. The cycle...

    Need to drive a mosfet to run a 50VDC 10amp Load ! of a Pixace 08m2

    Hi All Im making a home pinball project, and shall be running some magnets off a 08M2. Problem is that the magnets are 4.6 Ohm load at 50 Volts, so close to 10amps drawn at 500Watts. I have tried to use transistors to drive the magnet, but the wattage is killing them... So I think i can use a...
