To me, your avatar is a light blue object with a hint of a dark blue background in the upper left corner. Is that it?

Langdon looked again at the fax an ancient myth confirmed in black and white.
The implications were frightening. He gazed absently through the bay window.
The first hint of dawn was sifting through the birch trees in his backyard,
but the view looked somehow different this morning. As an odd combination of
fear and
exhilaration settled over him, Langdon knew he had no choice
The man led Langdon the length of the hangar. They rounded the corner onto the
runway.

    There was an autumn-like mist

    and the air was chill,
    but soon the sun rose red
    in the East
    and the mists vanished,
    and while the shadows were still long
    they were off again.

    So they rode now for two more days,
    and all the while
    they saw nothing
    save grass and flowers and birds and scattered trees, and occasionally small
    herds of red deer browsing or sitting at noon in the shade.

    Sometimes Bilbo saw
    the horns of the harts
    sticking up out of the long
    grass,
    and at first he thought
    they were the dead branches
    of trees.

    That third evening
    they were so eager to press
    on,
    for Beorn had said
    that they should reach the forest-gate
    early on the fourth day,
    that they rode still forward
    after dusk and into the night

    Gandalf, too, was

    setting the fire
    going,
    since Oin and Gloin had lost

    (Dwarves have never taken to matches even yet.)

    So ended the adventures
    of the Misty Mountains.
    Soon Bilbos stomach
    was feeling full
    and comfortable again,
    and he felt he could
    sleep contentedly,
    though really
    he would have liked
    a loaf and butter better
    than bits of meat toasted
    on sticks.

    He slept curled up
    on the hard
    rock
    more soundly than ever
    he had done on his feather-bed
    in his own little hole
    at home.

    But all night he dreamed
    of his own house and

Actually, the problem with 8bc wasn't that it was "down" but that PHP was somehow disabled so that you'd get PHP source code rather than the page you actually wanted to see. So that site wouldn't have helped much.

Also, could someone please ask Jose what kind of automatic update did that to the server? Seems like you'd want to avoid that software package, heh...

Of course the current matters. It's all Ohms law. But to say that the resistor is there to limit current is simply not right. You alter the brightness of an led by changing the voltage over the resistor not the current through it.

Well, yes and no. An LED (and indeed, any diode) is fundamentally different from a resistor with regards to its voltage/current response.

A resistor has a linear response. Double the voltage over a resistor and you also double the current. Easy as a pie.

For a diode, on the other hand, the current increases exponentially with an increasing current. Double the voltage and the current increases thousandfold or something like that. See this graph. The term "forward voltage drop" is actually an arbitrarily defined point on this graph denoting a voltage that is "ideal" i.e. high enough to allow the diode to carry current, but low enough that current doesn't sky-rocket exponentially.

So what does this mean? Well, keep in mind that current and voltage are not separate entities, but completely interrelated. Any change in current is also a change in voltage and vice versa. In this context, they are just the same measurement expressed in two different ways (either as charge or as flow of electrons.) In reality, the "forward voltage drop" defines not a point, but a small range of a few millivolts where the voltage stays roughly constant while the current varies over a quite large range. (Maybe 5-40 mA for a regular LED 5 mm LED.)

So, does the resistor control current or voltage? It controls both, as voltage and current are closely related. However, it's much more relevant to say that it controls current as current is the unit that changes the most when you vary the resistance. (At least as long as you stay near the "voltage drop".)

I hope that clarified some of the theory behind LEDs (or if not, piqued someone's interest.)

Peter (Man, I love calling you by name) I know someone who might be interested in that Gameboy for science. And yes, -01 and -02 are known to have certain sound problems. Not sure if what you're hearing is supposed to happen though.

Peter, could you please take off the battery cover and look into the hole and tell me which revision of the mainboard you have? (DMG-CPU-xx)

Peter, what does it sound like if you use wave instrument rather than kit, and choose the "manual" wave mode? (Ie, no frame advance.)

As far as I'm aware, the microcontroller firmware is still the same on the new carts.

SnuGG: Sorry, but I need to remind you about one of the rules: "Please indicate prices on items you are selling, if you are tying to see what you can get for it use an auction site like ebay."

I'd say http://nocash.emubase.de/gbatek.htm#sionormalmode + 8-bit mode sounds like a better idea. The main problem is 5V vs 3.3V compatibility, and I'd guess that you'd encounter the same problems whether you are using general purpose mode or "normal" serial mode.

One problem however, is that GBA can't send data at any lower rate than 256 KHz in GBA mode. That should be just fine with a DMG, but perhaps the high speed combined with the low voltage will make the transfer unstable. If you look at the DMG schematic, you'll see that all the serial port pins hove some input prtection circuitry, including a 100 pF, which might bite enough away of the rising edge of the data that the tranfer (sometimes?) fails.

My recommended procedure is:
1) Try the "normal" mode in 8-bit mode with GBA as master.
If that's not stable enough...
2) Try "normal" mode in 8-bit mode with GBA as slave and DMG etc as slave.
That should work stable, but you obviously can't be master. So you can...
3) Try emulating the serial protocol  in "general purpose" with a much slower speed. DMG's master mode is 1 kbit/s, for comparison. A few kbit/s should be no problem for the DMG, but if 1) didn't work, you know 256 kbit/s is far too much.

Gambatte, ne!
