Advin Pilot-MVP

Post by Jokse »

Hi,

about a year ago, I bought an Advin Pilot-MVP on ebay for about $70. It seems to be quite simple on the inside, no microcontroller, discrete parts and only an EEPROM for some identification from what I can tell... Would anyone want hi-res images of the board to reverse engineer the schematic as this should be able to program some of the GALs that has been requested programming algorithms for here.

Wouldn't it be best to use the software provided by the manufacturer? If you have a parallel port and can run windows (even in a VM, perhaps) then you're good to go.

Oh, for me it is working wonderfully. It was more to see if there was anything interesting on the inside for others... Especially the ones that have been asking about Atmel 22V10 and other Atmel PLDs...

Oh, sorry, I see - take the circuit and build an equivalent.

(It's good to know that it's working well!)
