Well came across this intresting game which can be played on the calc.

its a pretty good game for killling your time so here it goes.

WRITE  =GAME(“StarWars”) in any of the cell and press enter

you will get the screen shown above……..have fun.

A deep thought………

sitting alone and watching the sky

With the restless shore when the tide is high

Watching the ignorant walk of time

He always wonder what went wrong with life

With malevolence surfaced and lunacy revived

No friend to share a laugh or a foe in sight

Where is almighty Why doesn’t he show him the light?

When the war is within and warrior inside,

He finds no peace or no solace

But continues to fight against those Who were once his allies

He seems happy but he is sad

His day is good but dreams are bad

He had to smile for the picture in the frame

But had anyone seen his face when mirror calls his name

He was ignored easily for he had no fame

But he was always there when someone has to blame

No soul belived when truth was said

But they belived in his lie instead

Now who cares my thoughts lives or die

they are always nip and tuck In race with life

But why they did this to me

Was always a topic for him to debate

The game is over and he is left alone

before you realized its gone

Working with the usb to serial port convertor for hp6515b

well got my usb to serial port converter few days back….initially it gava a lot of problems but somehow managed to make it work

assuming that you have the driver for your cable ..lets get started

the problem that is faced by me is that the ports that ponyprog was showing  was COM3 and COM4 but hey were occupied by some other applications  and the device manager showed that my serial port adapter is on COM5

so here is what i did(rather say what soumen and me did)

1.    Go to the device manager by right clicking on my computer and then on properties.

2.    Select port to see if your device manager is detecting your adapter or not.

3.     If its not detecting it that means your driver is not installed if you don’t have the drivers seach on net…or try too know the chipset used   then you can surely get the drivers( i got prolific 2303 working for me)

4.    Now if its detecting it go to the properties of the adapter,then on port settings and click on advanced change the port to COM1 or COM3 if its not used

5.    Restart the device manager .it will now show the port you selected..

6.    Now in my case i was using pony prog…so here is what i did..

7.    Attached my micro controller and calibrated it..

8.    Go to device set-up and select AVR micro—->at mega 16 (as i have this board).

9.    Now select security and configure.  bits from the above menu and check CK OPT,BOOT SZ0, BOOT S 71

10.   That’s all we did…………..time to burn the code press ctrl+w

ps: well it takes a hell lot of time to burn the code ……abort the verify operation as it takes a lot of time and always gives an error…its not a big deal as our code was working perfectly even after aborting verify

feel free to add and comment on it…………
