Beginner's question about sprites
Coldheat replied to Learn6502's topic in Intellivision Programming
After more thought, I think this is more likely. I had my DEFINE statement not set correct before. -
Beginner's question about sprites
Coldheat replied to Learn6502's topic in Intellivision Programming
I have been lurking for years in the forums, Also been working with intybasic a lot this year. So take this with a grain of salt since I am not as experienced as others here. I had this problem before and all I did was add a WAIT statement after my sprite. Maybe its as simple as that or something else. -

Yes. I used a multi meter and did a continuity check between each of the 9 pins in the connector against the points soldered to the board and found one of the pins had an open. I cut the connector off and replaced it with https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00066HQ7S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it now works. I do have a few extra optical sensors I picked up on eBay in case someone thinks it could fix their issue I would gladly sell (cheap) But I only have 5 I think. Have to look.

Ok so I ordered 2 of the optical sensors and it did not fix my issue. I did a search and found some schematics for the roller controller. So I broke out my multi-meter and began to test pins. used the known working sensor and compared the voltages on the IC inputs and outputs for each sensor according to the schematics. (I have a little background in electronics so I can reasonably understand the circuits.) When spinning the optical roller I did see a Hig/Low or 5v/0v signals where there should be. I noticed even on the one I replaced it was also reading fine so I don't think the sensor that i replaced is bad. I traced it down to pin 9 of the actual 9 pin connector (From the board to the connectors end). Since it is molded plastic I can not open it to see if a pin came loose or a solder joint is broken. I could not get any continuity until I cut off the end and striped the pin 9 wire. So I am ordering some db9 connectors and I am going to replace both connectors. I will update this thread as soon as I get the parts. It would be easier just to solder a cord from another unit but I dont have one...lol.

Thanks for finding the part. I bought one recently for $25.00 but they did not know if it worked. The left/right doesw not work. If this fixes it then it cost me 35.00 since I am buying 2 sensors in case. I will let you all know if this fixes mine...

Price surge for Intellivision Flashback Overlays?
Coldheat replied to Rev's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
Wow A set of these just sold for $300.00 on ebay. I watched out of curiosity. I have a set but don't have intentions of selling them but man if they go fro that kind of price....lol http://www.ebay.com/itm/Supplemental-Overlays-Pack-for-INTV-Intellivision-Flashback-Never-Used-/381985945582?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=XAupYN1Cji67JdrfyWycZMFSlE8%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Although after looking at the bids I am suspicious of the one that won with a feedback rating of (1) But nevertheless the bid just before that looks real and was still offering 300.00. Well I am no Ebay expert so take that with a grain of salt.... -
