Feedback:
We encourage everyone who builds the kit to drop us a note (card, letter or e-mail preferred) to let us
know how well it works for you. This will ensure that we have provided everyone with the best kit possible.
We plan to have a small RVS-8 Newsletter to coordinate hardware and software changes, modifications, and
other items that would be of general interest to users.
RVS-8 Update Notes
Version 2.0 PC Board
Version 2.1 Software
The RS-232 interface is not used with this version of the software. The MAX-232 chip, socket,
or the 4 - 1.0 uF electrolytic caps are not provided. We had originally planned to add software for
RS-232 control and reporting, but the effort was discontinued.
Another oops. There is also a mistake on the silk screen for RP2 and RP3. They should be
labeled as 10K resistor DIPs.
The COR output (N/O and N/C) from K1 is labled backwards. The manual shows the correct
lables.
A note about component numbering. There are not 153 capacitors. C59-99 and C105-149
are not used. There are about 150 resistors, but most of them are in SIPs and DIPs.
