getting back to them

Had to take care of some other things. But I have an opportunity to get back to " work "

I still have no documentation to go along with these, but it claims to run an 8051 Micro-controller. I did get a hold of some useful information so I tried registering for the forum again. Sneaking a look at the other reviews, I find that they had the same issue I do. No documentation. Well we know what to do with no documentation issues... Makerspace.

Back at MakeICT, I plug them back in to the windoze machine and pull up the given software. Somehow this time there seems to be much more in the zip file. A whole lot more, I'll have to shoot a link to the original. one thing that seems new is the eBMU SPP Toolbox, seems promising giving access to settings and commands and scripts, as well as GPIO. I haven't gotten it to work yet but perhaps it just needs some tinkering. another is HCL lite... I don't think either of these are actually for this dev board, just red herrings. eBMU spp Test, wanted a manual reset... wasn't a button, I may see if I can short a pin to ground or vcc and get it to work... later. There is an aardvark programming with different eeproms, I don't have an aardvark but I have a Bus Pirate, so that is worth a shot. A different eeprom may get those tools start working. They did give us the schematic and layout of the dongle. I may do some bus sniffing as well.

carp.... well due to a slight typo, the link I downloaded earlier is 186ext.zip... not 168ext.zip... I was so excited too... nope... nothing new here... so sad. That's what I expected in documentation though... some actual ability to access the goodies hidden inside the module. Programs, and other eeproms...

So The dongle demo (LOL) has a hard time disconnecting the connection. I did find out it was the ++++ button. I've never  worked with AT command sets before. This should be interesting. However, I've got to get home. But expect more soon. I have until Jan 10 to finish this, and I may need every minute.
