Look at

http://www.mylifesucks.de/oss/c-epilepsy/

to see what this is all about.

The hex-files are named in a pattern like:

C-Epilepsy-%BUILDDATE%-%CPU%-%HWVERSION%.hex

where:

	%BUILDDATE%		representing the date of the build, like a version number

					for lazy people :)

	%CPU%			representing the type of AVR that is running your board

	%HWVERSION%		representing the different hardware versions (see below)

You have to pick the right hex-file for your hardware!

There are three different hardware revisions out there that I know about:

EPI10AQ41

	The grey board hand made by akku65 himself.

	You will need to build yourself a little converter to connect the board

	to a NC/FC.

	EPI-Side	<-->	FC/NC-Side

	3 (TXD)			1 (TXD)

	8 (RXD)			9 (RXD)

	10 (GND)		7 (GND)

EPI10

	The first black board available for sale, it has no connection from TXD to

	pin1 of the FC-Connector, so you have to solder a little wire from

	SV2(STK 500)'s pin3 to SV1(FC Connection)'s pin1.

	The solder jumper SJ3 should be soldered to bridge 1-2 so we have RXD on pin9.

	If you are going to connect the board directly to the NC/FC please cut the wire

	for +5V (pin2 of the FC-port)!

EPI11

	The _current_ board available.

	The solder jumpers should be soldered to bridge 1-2 so we have RXD on pin9 and

	TXD on pin1.

	Leave SJ5 open in case you are going to use the board directly on the NC/FC.

C-Epilepsy supports several modes of animation and fancy stuff.

When pressing the "MODE"-Button you can toggle the basic modes like playing the

programmed animations or responding to the NC/FC stuff. After pressing the

button the board will blink with as many LEDs as the number of the mode you are

now running is (1-base, so Modes are 1 to a maximum of 48), this should be pretty

convenient to use.

With the "SET"-Button you can toggle the sub-modes of the mode you are in. For the

animation-playback mode this means the number of the animation you want to see. For

the others modes you should look in the sourcecode to see what is going on when...

A handy tool to make own animations without the need to compile and flash the firmware

each tim is the Epilepsy Animation Simulator (E.A.S.) which can be found here:

http://www.mylifesucks.de/oss/c-epilepsy/EAS.jar

It is a small Java-tool which can play the animations like they are entered in the

source here.
