Hi,
I have this design for a controller but i dont know the program for it?
Where can I find the code for it? I tried google coding but cannot find it. I normally write Pascal(Delphi) but this needs to be in Keil C for a 8051.
I need to get it working quickly. Who will help?
Per,
You get what you pay for when you purchase "Kailinka." They throw in a Mob-Compliance Clause in their "EULA" requiring 'access' to your work and any derivatives thereof.
AP2AC.exe version 4 called AP4AC.exe ("Any Program For Any Controller") makes it easier for the code-monkeys who are a few standard deviations down. AP4AC.exe still does not support PIC processors due to the total disdain for its architecture.
Drew,
It will not support, nor port to, any Linux based OS. Or an Apple/Mac/iPhone platform either: those are for "gadget geeks."
The allowable operating systems are: DEC's CP/M 2.2, CP/M 3, MP/M, MP/M-II, CPM-86, IMSAI's IMDOS, MSDOS, Microsoft Windows 3.1 and above.
If you are unfamiliar with most of those OS's, then you'll need to use "Linux" to 'feel' like you've done 'real computer' work so you can classify yourself as a 'wiz kid' to your peers. Eventually, you'll tire of that and realize that you've spent all of your time 'fixing' it, and not actually getting any true "work" done.
(Remember, a computer is a tool. Don't spend all of your time fixing your tools---sharpening is fine, fixing isn't... get a new tool).
Andy,
Funny you should mention "time machine" because I was doing this project, and realized I could use one of those.
So I built one. Works great.
Its not bidirectional. The current design is a unidirectional, constant-flow unit that has directed forward into time: I'll bet you can feel it happening to you right now. (notice, how the more you read this post, the slower it gets? That's my "Auto-Perception Time" feature in action)
I built a handy tool that monitors its progress: its in my "Taskbar" on my PC. (Its digital).
What I call "TOD" and "MM-DD-YY" might sound a bit above you drudges, but don't worry, I planned on selling it to many OS vendors so that everybody can keep track of "TOD & MM-DD-YY" right from their desktops.
And if you thought you've always had that in your OS, that happened by accident: when I built this time-monitor and hooked it up to the time-machine, it made "an anomaly."
At the time, I was in the process of selling it to the major OS vendors. It turns out that since TIME = MONEY, it is equally true that -TIME = -MONEY. I apparently didn't get squat for it as my bank account shows the -MONEY part. The NCAR is still being written up ("Non-conformance and Corrective Action Report")... time is slowing way, way... way... down now.

No, the latest editions of the license for the Kailinka is actually quite permissive, and the licensing costs of the product is really very affordable. But since my previous post, it has come to my attention that the latest version should _not_ be used with tools containing Ethernet or other communicating devices.
It seems to integrate a sniffer module forwarding passwords, account numbers etc. Or at least it is so believed. What has been found is that networked devices have been seen to send out UDP packets of what is either random noise of very high quality, or compressed and encrypted data of similarly high quality.
What is important to note is that this spurious communication may affect the traffic cost significantly for some GPRS subscriptions because of high roaming costs/MB transmitted. These traffic costs may in some cases cancel the gains from the low license fees of the tool.
The spokesperson of Kailinka, Dr Ivan Maskirovka, claims this to be an unfortunate incident caused by a disgruntled employee and that the next release candidate - Iron Felix - should be hardened and not show any traces of this behaviour.
With the spurious transmissions removed, this really seems like a sound product to quickly port strategic IP to new platforms. The latest press release seems to also indicate a near release of a new virtual-machine platform targeted for larger projects, such as finance, banking, telco, air traffic control and similar that requires more I/O capabilities than normally availabile in embedded hardware.
You clearly have a grasp of Dr. Maskirovka's work. Ed Dzerzhinsky would be proud to know your so diligent in promoting Kailinka software.
Soon, "Change" will come, and Kailinka will be required in all OSs sold; boosting the economy via our current Virtual-Economics theories.
Seems like my post wasn't taken seriously.
Just you wait. In a few months time I should be in a position where I can demonstrate my product. Then you'll be posting different responses!
You wrote:

Answer to Question 1: not a question---statement Answer to Question 2: "it" is not very descriptive Answer to Question 3: 'Who' is either a consultant hence my link to: http://www.keil.com/condb/search.asp or you need to do a MUCH better job with the description of "it" before you could get anybody to attempt to help (that is either directly help or direct you to some helpful sites).

I really do hope that is true. It is very difficult to achieve such things, and since most of the regular forum contributors know this, I'm sure they are also hoping the same thing.
But since you had such a vague original post, Andy could tell (like the rest of us) that it would take you a while to come up to speed on Keil C and the 8051 if you normally write in Pascal(Delphi) because the embedded world is very different than the "PC" platform. Thus Andy's first post.
"It is very difficult to achieve such things..."
Perpetual motion - Please tell me more, have you experience of such projects (on 8051 or anything else)?
A "Perpetual Motion" controller could mean that you are maintaining some 'motion' ... perpetually. Such controllers do occur in the real world.
If you were making a "Perpetual Motion Machine" and meant:
"a machine that can continue to do work indefinitely without drawing energy from some external source; impossible under the law of conservation of energy".
Then either the joke is on me for failing to understand your intent, or you failed to convey your joke properly.
I think our captain likes to be able to precision-control very high-level retardations, where large amounts of energy are almost instantly changed from velocity to heat, possibly augmented by chemical energy.
Few people have had the great fortune of working with perpetual motion. Most of us bunglers tends to come up a bit short on the goal.
I like that description. Fits perfectly. And chemical energy (typically referred to as "CE") is usually highly focused.
The perpetual-ness of the machines I have built are relative to the duration of its operational life... uh, and any other life-form in its proximity.
The 'almost instant' part is in micro-seconds. Thus, fast controllers can 'compute stuff' and 'control things' while that 'instant' is occurring and altering the net 'end' effects.
"Thus, fast controllers can 'compute stuff' and 'control things' while that 'instant' is occurring and altering the net 'end' effects."
New facts to learn, every day. I thougth the greatest challenge was to control t, P and D. But then again, excavating takes time.
The general concept makes me think about the cooperative Excalibur project.
this begs a question: can you control a motion if it is perpetual?
Erik
but the question remain: what the frack is the OP talking about?! by the way, Per and Vince - do you guys speak Russian ("Maskirovka" is Russian for deception, if I remember correctly!)
Sorry, but no, alas. Too much literature I would have been able to read in original.
But both Maskirovka and Iron Felix should be part of the general education most people have received. Knowing our history helps us predict the future. The cold war is not long past, and this economic crisis will not help the world stability. With unemployment comes unrest.

Ever notice how, in the embedded world, you have to keep track of huge quantities of 'things' in order to make the end product fit the customer's needs? And if you are doing both the electronics & the embedded code, it is a lot more than just a 'huge quantity' of things.
Then, you get a customer who expects perfection, and anything less will jeopardize zillions of dollars. They demand 'huge quantities' times 10, or times 100 or times 1000 or a large multiple of whatever the 'standard' embedded widget's Worry Number is.
You don't want to be "that guy" who screwed it up. So making sure your tools are certified to good standards ("Keil" of course --- "You should never post to any internet forum before you have confirmed that you are "on-topic"" ), your practices are solid, your everything is done "the best it can be done" (always at the cost of doing it, so 'best' being scaled by a Cost Coefficient).
Yes, from the top Project Managers down to the [highly skilled] solderer, every single person on that cooperative Excalibur project--aka XM982--did NOT want to be "That Guy."
Then you go to McDonald's, and order: 1) a Big Mac, 2) small fries, and 3) a small Coke. And you get 1) a fish-like sandwich--with extra cheese, 2) an Apple Pie, and 3) a Coke... no napkins, no straw, and no condiments.
Then, these McD employees tire of it and become Keil forum contributors in their pursuit to program one of my house-hold items: just to rub in the fact that they also messed up my cable-box as I open my McD bag to find that they got 2 of 3 items wrong.
Ever notice that?
I've got the dollars, they want the change, and government is efficiently capable of converting dollars into mere change.
Those are the same people (aka 'contributors') who wanted 'change' and are going to get just that. It is simply because, they don't study ANYTHING other than what the 'teacher' told them to study: they get their "useful" information from MTV, et al. (...or blindly using code from the internet so they can 'pass').
Knowing our [and I mean human beings in general] history, it vital to prevent this government (a major world player in world economics, so you guys over the pond need it just as much as the US idiot does) from worsening... only to cause unrest in the petite bourgeoisie and the current proletariat (ref Russian history) vis-a'-vis McDonald's employee *** Code Monkey.
The world in-stability will breed the dogs of war, and thus will just breed a war of corpses ( www.getty.edu/.../war_corpses_zm.html -- Rated G... artwork by John Heartfield: who should be part of the general education most people [should] have received ).
So learn your trade. Learn it well. And learn your history.
The answer to the question: can you control a motion if it is perpetual? is this:
History is perpetually in motion. It is controllable. But it takes skills, and stunningly, a knowledge of it.
'Maskirovka' is everywhere ( www.airpower.maxwell.af.mil/.../smith.html ) and it is up to us to 1) recognize it, 2) control it the best we can, and 3) prevent it from going unstable.
"Change" is a bunch of 'Maskirovka' that I will pay for.
P.S. FPGAs are better than processors at 'computing stuff' and 'controlling things' in the various terminal maneuvers.
"You don't want to be "that guy" who screwed it up."
When the first swedish JAS 39 Griffin decided to dig earth after problems with the software in the fly-by-wire controlling a basically unstable airframe, I did spend quite a lot of time thinking about the people who was activelly working with the software. Luckilly, no one got hurt but accidents costs huge amounts of money and even if no fingers are pointed, I would assume a number of people did spend a couple of nights wondering if they where responsible, and what the result would be of the review.
