Batboard

This is mostly directed at Mike B., but I figured I'd put it here anyway...

My attempt at implementing this with a pushbutton control head was to take and basically build exactly this connection: .

And connected it directly to Light Purple 22, Gray 21, and added the diode shown.

My question is this -- is that exactly what is required? Did I screw this up? Have I kilt mah radio? This is in addition to the existing wiring, etc in the 32-mode control head I am using.

Make sure your radio cable is not a mutant and check that the mode 6 wire is installed (J1-16 to light purple pin 11):

Did you start with a 32 mode control head or did you modify one for 32 mode operation? If you modified one then make sure you get it working and tested as a 32 mode control head first, before doing the 64 mode modification.

Did you identify the part number on the Systems 90*s 8 mode push button board (the one the light purple and gray connectors plug into). After you identified the part number, did you change the mode 6 jumper setting for that board?

Mode 6 pin 22 or 11 on the light purple connector:

Mode Strobe pin 21 on the gray connector:

Did you program the radio drawer EEPROM with an additional 32 modes for 64 modes total?

A 32 mode Syntor X code plug is 512 decimal bytes long. Because memory addresses start at zero it occupies addresses from 0 to 511 decimal (000-1FF hexadecimal). If your EPROM burner can move or relocate programming data addresses, all you have to do is write a second 32 mode code plug starting at address 512 and going to 1024 decimal (200-3FF hexadecimal). It is just two complete code plugs, one after the other. SPROGII from Sandy Ganz was setup to do this (at least the later versions) if your EEPROM burner is not. I'm not sure about other Syntor X programming software.

Of course the external MPL selection head (the one with Code 1 through Code 8 buttons) doesn't work correctly, but this is a feature most people do not use anyway.

The control head needs to output an 8 bit mode select code like this 64 mode table.

It is complicated because the Mode Strobe needs to be high before the control head sends the mode information. The Mode Strobe is a selector that controls either mode selection or alternate uses for the M1 through M8 mode radio cable lines.
