Maybe it is as you say. The problem is that I cant buy it at this time.
I have to study what I got now. Also I have spent a lot of money on the boards I got and the companies that sold them make it in a way that you must spent much more in order to get something useful out of it.

Even the programming environment that they send on the cds is incomplete or is just a trial version...

Thank you @groundloop!!!!!

The board arrived!!!
I need now to get the usb to com cable in order to connect it to the pc.
Also I am getting the parts on the internet.

It seems that not all the parts are on the same supplier. And some does not exist.

But I will dedicate more time to this goal.

Jesus,

Good to see that the prototype board has arrived to you. :-)

Now you need to get a USB to comport dongle and test
the board on you computer. Almost all USB to COM dongle will do fine.
Windows XP will install the dongle driver by its self in most cases.
(If not use the driver that come with the dongle.)

Then connect the board to the dongle and start the Hyperterminal
program on your PC. Now you must set up the Hyperterminal program
to communicate with you USB dongle (and board). You select
the new port that Windows has installed and set the program
to run at 2400 bit/sec, no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit.
Now connect a 9 volt battery to the board.

You can use two LEDs in series with a 330 Ohm resistor in the
output plug (pin 1 to resistor to LED to ground pin 3) and
(pin 2 to resistor, to LED number two, to ground pin 3) to test the board.

The built in LED on the board will also indicate the on/off status of the output pins.

If you have any problems with this the just email me and we will sort it out.

Groundloop.

Thank you @groundloop!

I will go today to the Guaynabo town Radio Shack to ask for the usb to com port dongle.
