@@lbb_kev indeed. this particular connector is closed source. But, I'll share a template to use for custom connectors. I have to find motivation to redo this in openscad. Consequently, I'll be able to share a configurator on thingiverse.
The power supply has an USB interface, and the DMMs are connected through a RS232 to USB to a Raspberry pi. You are right, GPIB is the better option but the cables are very expensive and not all devices support it. The GPIB to USB is a beast of it's own. I know some project uses an Arduino but I still need to buy all the supplies to experiment with. It would be neat to daisy chain all the test gear with a single endpoint and unique addresses with GPIB. Right now, with everything Serial to USB, you need to connect in order the test gear to run the program... Maybe some kind of tricks in the code can alleviate this. As for Ethernet, I haven't looked at it, so I can't shine some advices for you.
@@guigur Hello , a good GPIB adaptor should be able to driive multiple devices as its usually buffered But yes , your right, it is expensiive. So do you mean then that the test instruments are connected each via serial to USB into a multi port device and then the data is controlled via Arduino? I am just trying to draw the picture , so to speak, so I can understand exactly what your doing? if it was gpib you would have a USB to gpib adaptor , and the rested is dasy chained. Each device will then have a unique ip address.
Hi there! I have been trying to learn about using pyvisa for automatization of equipments. I am using an adapter for GPIB-USB but while running the code I don't know where to specify the address of each equip. I'd be super glad if you were able to help me out with this!
Unfortunately, I did not use a GPIB to USB adapter. So, I had to connect in a specified sequence the test gear. You can see my messy code here github.com/AFPA-BALMA-ETD/TEST_SESAME
I'm sure that controller plays like shit. I just wanted to see how difficult it would be to change a normal controller to a USB plug. I didn't think I'd need an ISP programmer to program a microchip. What if you wanted to use your new creation on something other than a computer, like a modified console? Would you need the programming of the console controller set up and have o make another chip? Is that even a thing??
ok so you programmed an interpreter chip and then instslled it into the controller. would it not also be possible to just add a box to the wire itself (after cutting it) that would contain the translator chip?
most of which are pieces of crap compared to the feel of the original controllers (buttons that stick out too much or that are too "clicky", shoulder buttons that dont have the proper movement and/or dimensions,...) this type of conversion is the best (if using official original controllers)
some people prefer the DIY spirit, besides with knowledge we can improve upon the original design and add buttons, i was planning on gutting a cheap 3 dollar usb snes controller placing a keyboard pcb salvaged from a goodwill and cheap tactile buttons inside or a teensy 2.0 and solder the snes buttons to the keyboard, and mapping it into retropie, but since i have a keyboard i can add buttons, perhaps add a dedicated volume buttons underneath and above the start and select add buttons to have save state or load states, and another project was to make a handicapped controller designed for children with only one hand to play emulation on a pc. learning is never dumb
hey please, you had to put step by step to assemble the control of all I served your video if you explained nada.o not climb a product image for image control like esambla.
