  • Wakefield 2006 RISC OS Computer Show
    I would like to welcome you all to this, our eleventh annual show in Wakefield. There have been many ups and downs over the last eleven years, since the first show at Cedar Court, organised in thirteen weeks, which ended up taking over the entire hotel. Ever since then, we have been at our current venue of Thornes Park. Over the years we have had many interesting attractions and features, such as the guest appearance by Johnny Ball one year. Of course, the show has seen many new hardware and software launches and previews over the years, some more successful then others: Kinetic, Peanut, Phoebe, StrongARM, Vantage, RiScript and so on. In fact, this year it is ten full years since we saw the very first StrongARM at the first Wakefield Show, as well as being the 25th Anniversary of the BBC Micro! Even now, we still have people developing for this famous microcomputer, which helped to start the home computer revolution. Be sure to visit both the JGH BBC Software and Domesday System stands during your visit. The Domesday Project is another superb example of how advanced we were with the BBC Master and other Acorn products of the 1980s. Now we are looking to the future with the new A9home, which is expected to be on retail sale or available for ordering at the show. Over the years we have had visitors to the show from all over the world, from countries such as New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Belgium, Finland, Sweden and the USA; not bad for an amateur show! Another long-standing attraction of the show is of course the charity stall, which allows redundant equipment to be recycled, and through your kind support the stall has raised many thousands of pounds, primarily for the Wakefield Hospice, over the years.

  • Archimedes PC Emulator
    Archimedes PC Emulator PC emulators are not new, but so far they have had limited success in their job of enabling your chosen micro to run PC-compatible software. Simon Jones unveils Acorns PC Emulator package for the Archimedes range of micros to see how well it performs in action. At this years PCW Show, Acorn proudly displayed its PC Emulator package for the Archimedes range of computers, which is claimed to allow packages written for the IBM PC to run on an Archimedes. Acorn was demonstrating the Emulator running dBase III+ and Lotus 1-2-3 at the show and, as I only managed a quick glance at the Emulator then, I was pleased to get the opportunity to examine the product at close quarters. Having seen other attempts at PC compatibility, such as pc-ditto (reviewed in PCW, October) I was sceptical to say the least. The Archimedes carries on the Acorn tradition, having a lot in common with the BBC Micro and the BBC Master series. Indeed, the Archimedes will run most of the well-behaved software written for the BBC computers. However, the Archimedes and the BBC micros differ radically in the CPU they use and the amount of RAM available. Based on Acorns RISC processor, the Archimedes 440 is blindingly fast and, with 4Mbytes of memory, it is not short functions to those in MS-DOS. This is cellaneous keys between the main of space — a problem which caused the more than a little confusing if you are group and the numerics. The back- downfall of the BBC Micros.

  • Construction of an Active Rectifier for a Transverse-Flux Wave Power Generator
    EXAMENSARBETE INOM ELEKTROTEKNIK, AVANCERAD NIVÅ, 30 HP STOCKHOLM, SVERIGE 2017 Construction of an Active Rectifier for a Transverse-Flux Wave Power Generator OLOF BRANDT LUNDQVIST KTH SKOLAN FÖR ELEKTRO- OCH SYSTEMTEKNIK 1 Sammanfattning Vågkraft är en energikälla som skulle kunna göra en avgörande skillnad i om- ställningen mot en hållbar energisektor. Tillväxten för vågkraft har dock inte varit lika snabb som tillväxten för andra förnybara energislag, såsom vindkraft och solkraft. Vissa tekniska hinder kvarstår innan ett stort genombrott för våg- kraft kan bli möjligt. Ett hinder fram tills nu har varit de låga spänningarna och de resulterande höga effektförlusterna i många vågkraftverk. En ny typ av våg- kraftsgenerator, som har tagits fram av Anders Hagnestål vid KTH i Stockholm, avser att lösa dessa problem. I det här examensarbetet behandlas det effekte- lektroniska omvandlingssystemet för Anders Hagneståls generator. Det beskriver planerings- och konstruktionsprocessen för en enfasig AC/DC-omvandlare, som så småningom skall bli en del av det större omvandlingssystemet för generatorn. Ett kontrollsystem för omvandlaren, baserat på hystereskontroll för strömmen, planeras och sätts ihop. Den färdiga enfasomvandlaren visar goda resultat under drift som växelriktare. Dock kvarstår visst konstruktionsarbete och viss kalibre- ring av det digitala kontrollsystemet innan omvandlaren kan användas för sin uppgift i effektomvandlingen hos vågkraftverket. 2 2 Abstract Wave power is an energy source which could make a decisive difference in the transition towards a more sustainable energy sector. The growth of wave power production has however not been as rapid as the growth in other renewable energy fields, such as wind power and solar power. Some technical obstacles remain before a major breakthrough for wave power can be expected.

This operating system has a very fast and flexible response to Interrupts, which allows the machine to take a wide range of peripherals and handle them with ease. The TUBE is a fast bus interface through which additional Co-processors (also called second processors) can be added. when a co-processor is connected to the TUBE interface, the BBC Micro continues to look after all of the I/O processing, whilst the additional co-processor now carries out the task of running the Language Application. The Co-Processor The co-processor can be based on any microprocessor chip, and can have any memory size that this chip can address.

  • 4. the BBC BASIC Assembler
    ARM Assembly Language Programming - Chapter 4 - The BBC BASIC Assembler 4. The BBC BASIC Assembler There are two main ways of writing ARM assembly language programs. One is to use a dedicated assembler. Such a program takes a text file containing ARM assembly language instructions, assembles it, and produces another file containing the equivalent machine code. These two files are called the source files and object files respectively. An alternative approach is to use the assembler built-in to BBC BASIC. The ability to mix assembler with BASIC is a very useful feature of the language, and one that is relatively straightforward to use. For this reason, and because of the widespread availability of BBC BASIC, we describe how to use its built-in assembler. The examples of the next two chapters are also in the format expected by the BASIC assembler. 4.1 First principles Two special 'statements' are used to enter and exit from the assembler. The open square bracket character, [, marks the start of assembly language source. Whenever this character is encountered where BASIC expects to see a statement like PRINT or an assignment, BASIC stops executing the program and starts to assemble ARM instructions into machine code. The end of the source is marked by the close square bracket, ]. If this is read where BASIC is expecting to see an instruction to be assembled, it leaves assembler mode and starts executing the (BASIC) program again. To see the effect of entering and leaving the assembler, type in this short program: 10 PRINT "Outside the assembler" 20 [ ;In the assembler 30 ] 40 PRINT "Outside the assembler" If you RUN this, you should see something like the following: Outside the assembler 00000000 ;In the assembler Outside the assembler Between the two lines produced by the PRINT statements is one which the assembler printed.
