Anyone out there using a pimped strobe?
http://www.hoelscher-hi.de/hendrik/engl ... strobe.htm
Have pimped a Stairville PS1500DMX, and sometime MC (microcontroller) is crashing. In that situation the strobe is not reacting to DMX nor stand alone mode working anymore. Repowering it doesn't help.
On reinserting original MC it's working fine and then when reinserting the pimped MC again it comes back to life.
Anyone facing same problems? Any ideas what's going wrong?

Re: Pimped DMX Strobe?
it's not really difficult, but lil understandings in electronics is advantageous
what you need:
BTW: have a colleague who's using one of those, so can ask him to give some tips
once the chip is programmed, just replace the original MC in the strobe with the programmed one. They are different MC's but pin-compatible, only pin 9 (reset) has to be bent up on the new MC before inserting it.
voila - thats all
what you need:
- Atmel ATmega8515-16 microcontroller (~ EUR 2.00)
an AVR programming interface with programming software
the firmware from Hoelscher's homepage
