Gunstar Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I received my 'The Brewing Academy' version of Fujinet today, with a 400/800 style case and extras like the Jtag and power switch. But I didn't really keep up with all the threads on Fujinet (I searched and there are many threads for Fujinet) as I like to learn about things hands-on, so now that I have it, I've no idea how to use it all or even all of it's features. So, I'm looking for any documentation on instructions and features for it now. Can someone point me to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin1968 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 The project Wiki is the best bet https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-platformio/wiki You also want to make sure and power it with USB if using on the the original Atari 800 Have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was kind of wondering why there was one there since it's already WI-FI! Thank you very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Can I assume that the SpartaDOS X + U1MB + Fujinet utilities configuration works with my Incognito too, since they are pretty much the same, even though the Fujinet documentation doesn't say "Incognito" anywhere? And if I am in XL/XE mode on my Incognito, do I still need the USB power? That is only an academic question though as I do intend to use USB power just to keep Fujinet on when I may need to cold start my 800.

I would go to https://fujinet.online and look at the guides for more information. @tschak909 has also done a bunch of YouTube videos about it if you search for Fujinet on YouTube. It does networking, SIO drive emulation, printing (to PDF), and much much more. I don’t have one yet, but it’s a very nice device.

+mytek Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I'm just amazed that someone could be on AA for the past year and not know anything about FujiNet. Granted now that it's pinned, it's not so much in your face unless you chose to click on it, but getting pinned is a relatively recent event. Before it got pinned, we saw months of it dominating the forum as it quickly kept pushing other topics off the page. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a New Content filter on AA. I noticed that I was no longer receiving any Fujinet news, I realized I needed to change the filter to pick up the new sub-forum.

(slaps self on forehead and back of other hand) But like I said, often I don't bother with sub-forums and topics for stuff I don't own, or threads about on-going developments that haven't been released yet, as I'm a hands-on guy. Now I own Fujinet, so NOW I'm interested. But my bad habit made me not even bother to look at the sub-forums to see if the Fujinet info was there.

It's like Mandarin Chinese to me. I am non-technical, non-coding. I didn't understand much of it. Like a lot the 'geek' talk here, it goes right over my skull. Plain language.

That is only an academic question though as I do intend to use USB power just to keep Fujinet on when I may need to cold start my 800. I believe Fujinet only needs the external power on a stock 800 because the OS boots faster than the Fujinet and so the 800 will be up before it on a cold start. if you have an Incognito the BIOS splash screen should delay the OS start enough even in Colleen mode for Fujinet to come up first so it’s ready to boot config or whatever you’ve got mounted in slot 1. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billkendrick Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Right after I got mine, I started asking a ton of questions and came up with a Quickstart Guide: https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-platformio/wiki/FujiNet-Quickstart-Guide Enjoy, and feedback (or edits; it's a wiki) welcome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, but of course neither my 800 or 1200XL are stock machines, they've been modded and upgraded to act as later XL/XE models, including the addition of PBI's on both, so I don't think that necessarily applies in my case, but I do intend to use USB PSU on the Fujinet with both, regardless, because that way the Fujinet can stay on when I power cycle or cold reset the machines.

I have tried to get caught up to speed on this device. I would really love to be able to log on to BBSs. I never did back in the day, to my regret. Some of the terms are not familiar to me. I do wish there was a printed step-by-step Idiot's manual for novices like myself. I think this is the greatest thing since sliced salami.
