Using the ATmega8 for TV-B-Gone?!?

Post by -skunk- »

Moin Moin,

to avoid boredom at these easter-days i want to build my own tv be gone. unfortunately i havent got the attiny85 to complete my parts list.
but ive got some of the atmega8.

ive never used programs for other atmel as stated, so i need some help to do this :)

i think i need to change the type of the IC in the makefile and some ic-pins. the osci needs to be soldered at pin 9 & 10 and the other ports as shown in the datasheet.

is it right? :)

thanks for your help...

"Moin moin" - Are you german? :D

Either you correct the pins in the software or you're not going after the pin-nubers but after the names.

The led outputs e.g. are at PB0 and PB1, that are the pins 14 and 15 on the M8.

I think that should also work

Ok, a thing, I've forgotten. You have to change the definition file in the source code
I'm not shure about that, but I think from "t85.def" to "mega8.def" or something like that.

Ich komme aus Hannover, wie man meinem Profil entnehmen kann :wink:
Aber schön, dass es mehrere deutsche TV-B-Goneler gibt :D
Meine ist leider nicht rechtzeitig zur CeBIT fertig geworden
(Nice that there are German TV-B-Gone maker. Unfortunately mine wasn't finished to the CeBIT (a German computer trade fair))

okay, ill change it.

as a german your can certainly tell me where i can find the EU codes which are not implemented in a hex file?

im going to learn the stings. so i need to have some easy projects where i can understand the source code.

the tv be gone is easy to understand and VERY useful :)

i cant wait until im going through media markt :P

Yep.

In this thread are the links to the EU sourcecodes.

But I don't use it. My TV-B-Gone runs with the original firmware and it even works on such german devices like Medion

well i think the declaration needs to be done in the makefile:

MCU = atmega8

but is there any other declaration?

@jwsk: i dont even think about buying stuff like that.
either soldering or going to have a beer (männer wie wir...wicküler bier :) )

Warum gibt es so viele Deutsche, die sich mit TV-B-Gone begeistert sind? Was ist es mit diesem Produkt?

:D
