Need help getting started with the ML505 Development Kit

First of all, an admission...I am a newb to the FPGA world. A babe in the wilderness. I am trying to run a simple little logic design to get my feet wet. Four inputs using the WEST, CENTER, SOUTH, and EAST pushbuttons feeding two AND gates which feeds an OR gate which turns on the NORTH LED. I have tried to use the Platform Cable USB to download the project to the XCF32P Platform Flash PROM using the iMPACT software. As of yet I have been unable to get the program to run. The iMPACT program says the programming was successful but after pressing the PROG button, the DONE LED does not turn on. I've tried different settings with the Configuration Address and Mode DIP switches with no success. To anyone using the ML505, given the gear I have at my disposal, what would you recommend? What modes have you used that worked? Thanks in advance.

Here is the latest setup I have used in trying to get my FPGA to read from the Platform FLASH PROM. Configuration Address/Mode DIP switches set to 01011001 as per "My Own Platform Image Demonstration" method in the "ML505/ML506/ML507 Getting Started Tutorial" The Platform Cable USB is plugged into the JTAG connector on the ML505. Its status LED is green. In iMPACT the Boundary Scan reveals the following chain... TDI ----- xcf32p -----xcf32p-----xc9s144x1-----xccace-----xc5vlx50t-----TDO The same mcs file is loaded into both PROMs (xcf32p). I start the programming cycle. It completes and says "Programming Successful" I press the PROG button on the ML505 and the DONE LED does not turn on and the design does not work. With the same chain I add the bit file to the xc5vlx50t so I have the PROMs loaded with mcs files and the FPGA with the bit file. I run the program function again. "Programming successful" is again indicated. The DONE LED lights and the design works. I then press the PROG button. The DONE LED turns off and the design ceases to function. I have also tried this with only one PROM loaded with a mcs file with no success. What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

Help Getting Started with the Zen Vision:M (Z

Hi,I just got my ZVM and want to get started with it. I have a couple of questions, first:?. I have Windows Vista. Can I just plug in the ZVM and go without using the Installation CDs? Or do I still need to install something off of the installation discs?2. Why 2 installation discs? There is with a black cover that says Easy Start CD and has the Urge and Window Media Player logo at the bottom. The other is just in a plain white bordered sleeve with a light colored disc that says Zen Vision: M Installation CD at the bottom. I think I want to start with the light colored disc, but want to make sure. Thanks.

I think that the White disk that says Zen on it is the one you want it has Creative Media Source on it and is a very useful tool for me, the other disk has Windows Media Player on it and will also install a connection to a website that you can purchase tracks from (which i took off as soon as i found this out) not the WMP though, for some reason i could not get my Zen to work properly without the WMP loaded on my pc, however i use the Creative Media Source instead of the WMP.

Beginner! Need help getting started with recording music.

I am the definition of 'new' at the moment. I want to record my own music at home and I've been told that using an Apple Mac is one of the better ways to go about it at home.
I have a number of questions, most of which have probably been asked before (apologies!) starting right from the beginning.
1. What type of Mac would be best suited as a dedicated tool for recording music? Obviously speed and memory are big factors, but are there any other considerations here (available inputs, drivers, sound cards etc)? I'm hoping to keep the cost below AUS$3000 if possible.
2. Do i need any other hardware for this application? (this is where you can tell how inexperienced I am haha) such as mixers etc? If I should need a mixer, is there a particular type or brand of mixer that works well with Macs?
3. Will plugging a guitar amp into the mac improve sound quality over plugging the guitar directly into the Mac? I bought a Griggin Garage Band guitar cable a while ago to record some background music for a friend's DVD, and I found it worked well, but I'm looking for the best quality sound now.
4. What would be the most effective software to use? I've briefly used Garage Band and found that to be simple and useful, but I've heard that there are better software packages available.
I'm hoping to be able to record guitar, bass and vocals directly on to the Mac, and create drum tracks using samples and loops. I know how to play music but as you can tell I know very little about recording it! Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks..

I would presume one line level input will suffice?
Close, you need a Line Level AND Mic Level input since you'll want to record vocals.
Thanks for the link to your Q&A page, I found some very useful info there.
It's showing its age, and will hopeful get updated soon, but most of the info is good at least for a background.
Anyway, I think I might recommend this Presonus INSPIRE over the FireBox, it'll save you about $100 and since PreSonus makes excellent equipment (and we have an active member here that uses the Inspire), I'm confident that it offers great quality.
I think the firepod that you use looks great, but might be overkill
I agree, the FirePod would be serious overkill for your needs. Again, an awesome interface, but you'd be paying for all those Mic PREs, and using 1. That wouldn't make sense, and since the FP isn't cheap...
my talent and engineering knowledge is quite limited
Then I would strongly suggest GB as the software, and then do lots of reading. The weakest link in music production is your engineering skills. Mixing and Mastering (especially the latter) are art forms. A bad engineer using a $10,000 bit of software and hardware would make a fantastic performance sound like garbage. With good engineering skills you can make a pro recording with GB.
The learning curve with something like Logic is dramatically increased, and again, without the skills to take advantage of what it offers, your recordings are not going to sound any better. At the very least, start with GB to learn the skills of Recording/Editing/Mixing/Mastering. The "price of admission" is low enough that if in a year you find that you need a feature GB doesn't offer, your money will not have been wasted, it will have been valuable learning time.
Hope those more specific answers help

Newby...need help getting started with 80g

ok...
with 30gb ipod video i could connect to any type of computer pc or mac and upload music...
with the ipod classic is it one or the other...

17 hours??! Just to do the factory restore? Or does that include repopulating an 80Gb library. Either way it still sounds excessive to me. I take it you have USB 2.0 and a broadband net connection. I'm sure I've seen some postings about moving from PC to Mac elsewhere in the forums. You might want to track these down for useful advice before commiting to such drastic action.
Restoring will wipe the hard drive of the iPod removing all content so be sure that there is nothing you want on the iPod that you don't have backed up somewhere else before you proceed.

Problem with getting started with the SQL Developer in oracle 11g

I downloaded the oracle 11g from the oracle site and installed it on my machine.Now i want to write the sql queries and practise them......so i tried this:start\oracle11gHome\ApplicationDevelopment\Sqldeveloper . But I get a messagebox with a browse button asking me to "Enter the full pathname for java.exe"
what is this all about?Do i need to install jave in my host machine?
how to solve this problem?

hi
If you are asked to enter the full pathname for java.exe, click Browse and find java.exe. For example, the path might have a name similar to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_06\bin\java.exe.

Help Needed with getting Started With Office 365 Development C# Rest API

We have a O365 Tenant Setup with a Federated Active Directory Setip we want to be able to right code that will connect to our tenant and perform basic CRUD operations against it (ex. Creating mail boxes)
The problem is we want this to be contained in a CLR trigger In SQL so say if a new user is added to our user table then we would create a new AD account for that user and also create a mailbox.
But I cannot find and example on how to connect to Office 365 using the REST API (Not the SDK because you can not add the connected service to a class library) and before the required actions that we need to do. All the example I have found are with the
SDK API and/or require window 8 and that is also not an option.
Please help I do not know where to start, and I would love to see some examples done in c# and not using the SDK.
Thanks,
Andrew Day

Hi,
>> Instead of SharePoint URLs I would use the O365 API URL?
Yes, in my sample code, I was accessing the File resource by using the O365 File API. In your case, you need to acquire the token to access the Mail resource and use O365 Mail API.
By the way, I think the article
Understand Office 365 app authentication concepts will help you to understand the authentication process in Office 365 Development.
>> Why can I not use the SDK API with a class Library?
Actually, you are able to reference the Office 365 .NET SDK in the class Library. But the class library project type was not supported by Visual Studio Office 365 Development Tool. As a workaround,
you can reference the SDK manually in your project.
Since your original question is about “getting started with Office 365 Development C# Rest API”, if you have more questions about the Office 365 SDK, I will suggest you posting a new thread
to discuss the Office 365 SDK. It will involve more other community members to share their ideas and experience on a specific a question and for others who had a similar question could also find the valuable information quickly.

Jeffrey

I never used LabView but need to generate a RS-233 serial output string that contains an IRIG timestamp based on a contact closure. Is LabView an appropriate tool to do this? How much does it cost to get started with the product?

I never used LabView but need to generate a RS-233 serial output string that contains an IRIG timestamp based on a contact closure. Is LabView an appropriate tool to do this? How much does it cost to get started with the product?

Labview isn't cheap, but it would certainly allow you to build a program (set of vi's - virtual instruments) that would do what you describe. Where would the timecode information come from? Your vi, or program, would: Start up, initialize the serial port, loop until a trigger happened, read the timecode (from where?), output that timecode out the serial port in a loop until you pressed the stop button. There is a free evaluation of Labview software available from NI - the base product itself runs about $995.

Hi,
Although I'm learning I am a complete programming / javascript / json / jquery novice so my apologies in advance if this is a stupid question or i have failed to understand the new restful api functionality which is available under this beta.
In the past, where a client has had really specific functionality that was not achievable within the BC framework, I have implented an external php application (with the help of a web developer) and simply linked to it via a sub domain. Obviously not ideal.
My hope is that the new api functionality will open up a range of possibilities that will go some way toward eliminating the need to build extenal applications and simply extend the existing BC framework using the added api functionality.
One example that i would like to move solely on to BC is the following - http://mylist.grocerwatch.com.au/
The above is a grocery pricing comparison website whereby the applicaton highlights the cheapest and best value (comparible) products. The application also allows the user to select from the items displayed to create a shopping list showing where to buy the selected products for the best value. The user can also email, print, or save their shopping list.
My question is for someone who is more farmiliar with the new api and who is perhaps more experienced than me with programming. Would it be possible to create the above solely on BC without sacrificing speed, security, functionality etc?
Thanks.

Welcome back. Do not overlook the Finder and individual application Help menu support. The links provided above are great starter references. With tongue in cheek, they also may not be as current as the OS X release on your mini, so expect some differences.
Here are a litany of keyboard short-cuts, last updated in June 2012, that may prove selectively beneficial.
For actions like copy(c), paste(v), cut(x), print(p), and select-all(a), substitute the command key instead of control key.
If you right click on a file, this menu will seem familiar. Press the option key and notice the menu changes. If you copy a file(s) from this menu, change to the destination and then press option with the right button menu to see copy file(s) changed to move file(s).
To quickly view a file's contents, left click on the file icon, then press the space bar.
The native file format for OS X is PDF. Thus, when you choose to print, you also have the option to save as PDF with web links preserved.
Enjoy your mini.

Can not get example to work after following instructions given in "Getting Started with the NI LabVIEW C Generator" guide

We explored using sbRIO for our project, for different reasons we ended up going with a different embedded solution . We are currently evaluating the LabVIEW C Generator to convert some of the core analysis routines from LabVIEW to C so the team that will be creating the embedded solution don't have to re-implement them from scratch.
Before converting our code, I followed the instructions given in the "Getting Started with the NI LabVIEW C Generator" manual to create a static library created inCygwin using GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).
I managed to compile the code, but when I type "run GCD.exe" in the Cygwin console, I just see the window flash with no time to see if the result is correct or not. I modified the main.c cde to add a getchar(), but the window still just flashes and now I am left with the GCD process still running and have to kill it using Windows Task Manager.
Has anyone else got this example to run? I am sure I am missing an obvious setting or step, please help me.
More details below.
Thanks,
Fab
Here is a video showing the steps I followed
If you don't want/can't see the video. Here are some screenshots of what I have done so far:
GratestCommonDivisor.lvproj C Generation build specs Information:
C Function prototype definition:
I copied Makefile located at: C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\examples\CGenerator\Tutorial\Cygwin
and replaced both Makefile and Makefile.cygwin in the directory where the C code was generated
I also copied main.c from the same location and replaced the one generated
Here is the snapshot of the results after executing "make GCD.exe"
Then to run it I just type
I see a window open and close really quickly and I never see the result. I have tried adding the getchar() line to the main.c file, but still I don't get to see the results.

Hi Kevin,
I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. I am attaching a zip file with the LabVIEW project, my build specification and my version of "Greatest Common Divisor.vi", which should be the same as the one that you have that ships with the LabVIEW C Generator, but just in case. I am also attaching a zip file with the C files generated by the LabVIEW C Generator.
You can also see the video I posted earlier with the steps I followed. I hope you are able to point out where I went wrong.
Thanks,

Need help getting started -Editing software

Hello everyone
I need to get started with video editing on a Mac -
I didn't touch an editing software since 1998 , it was premiere 4.2 on a PC !
And didn't keep up with what's new but i'm now using a Mac!
I assume now most software allow realtime rendering, and have great tools !
So, I'd like to put together a holiday movie I shot on a DV camera-
once finished , it would either play from the computer connected to a Video projector AND / OR burned on a DVD .
I'd like to make something a bit creative : Split frames / moving Titles accross the screen etc...
my questions :
-If possible, I'd like to minimize the rendering process ( realtime?) What is a good editing software Imovie / Final cut ( which one?) / Premiere ?
-What can I use to create split frame ( video)
-What can I use to create moving titles ? ( important)
-Can this be achievable on a Macbook 1,83GHZ / 2GB of RAM/ 250GB EXT. Harddrive FW.?
Thanks for you inputs ( Open subject )
David

You don't need timecode to make frame accurate cuts.
You simply play or drag the playhead to roughly where you want it and then use the left and right arrow keys to move frame by frame to the exact frame you want.
Incidentally if you hold down the Shift key, each touch of the arrow key will jump 10 frames.
iMovie has a tremendous amount of potential which may be hidden away at first sight.
Take a look at those fantastic and easy to produce titles - the hardest part is typing the letters!
Incidentally, even FCE does not display the original tape timecode natively.
Ian.
P.S. The best way to unlock most of its secrets is to get a book. Most good libraries usually stock them or can get them for you.

What software do I need to get started with GIS development

Hello, I'm a Oracle RDBMS specialist but interested in getting into GIS development. I want to set up a local environment and play around with it. Could someone advise me as to what software I need to install/download? Is all of it free?
1.) I'm assumming I need ORACLE with SPATIAL (was looking into 10g) Is this download free?
2.) I also looked into MAP VIEWER as an extension of the Oracle Application Server.
Are these 2 products all I need to get started?
I also read alot about arcGIS? Can this product be downloaded for free or is it a licensed product?
Does anyone have any other suggestions about some software/documentation that may help me get started in this technology.
Thanks,

Hello!!
Actually, you need Oracle Spatial or Oracle Locator. Oracle Locator is free on Oracle Express, and you could start with it. Otherwise, if you want to know more, Oracle Spatial comes with Oracle Enterprise, and Oracle 10g gives you a schema that allow you to store, manage and query spatial data through Oracle functions, etc.
To start using MapViewer, considering that you already have some spatial data stored on the database, you could download the MapViewer kit at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/spatial/index.html.
You could buy the Pro Oracle Spatial book. It´s very good.
Good Luck!
