What is a Magnulator ? Magnulator is the opto-isolated version of the
Manolator256 interface. Magnulator is developed by magnus Bergroth that was affraid to burn is
parallel port or even is entire computer. |

Magnulator follows the same philosophy of making a
simple and reduced interface. I hope he can send us a guide to know how to put so
much things inside a parallel connector. |

They are two versions of MAGNULATOR interfce: the NON UART version, has the opto-isolation addon and the same pic 16F88 code for the non
xtal MANOLATOR version. The UART version, also opto-isolated, is an optimezed code version. He has changed the
code to read the parallel port at double speed. It is needed to use the
interface with DMXControl software and usefull for the other programs too. Also the system used to send the dmx data is changed
by making use of the included UART of the pic 16F88. That is the reason of the change between two lines
of the pic. Using this code in MANOLATOR NO XTAL
INTERFACE. You can also use Magnus new code into your “old”
Manolator interface by modifying the two lines of the pic that you see here. RA0 (pin 17) <- >RB5 (pin 11) CoMMING SOON... i EXPLAINED TO Magnus an idea that I got to modify
the MANOLATOR interface to recieve MIDI thanks to the UART and send DMX like
it is dome now (without using the UART), but I don’t really know how the UART
works so... I think he is going to start this project and give
us a cheap MIDI to DMX black box with even no power supply needed. We will keep you informed. I hope you enjoy... Thanks magnus.... |
Non uart version schematic It uses
the same code as the manolator no xtal version

uart version schematic It uses
a new pic 16F88 code,

(so it
seems that the third generation of the parallel dmx dongle is here, isn’t it
kristof?)
