The Twangy Vox

This guitar amp suddenly became my first and favorite over the others.

It's small. The Vox amPlug 2 have size of well, jack-plug, :).

It's complete, for me. It has a distortion, of course, with three boost (Classic Rock) of choice, no less.

The FX maybe just chorus, delay and reverb but it doesn't matter. I don't se that anyway.

The most interesting? Yeah, the sound.
 
No matter guitar and setting you'd use. It always have a classic-Telecaster-twangy sound in it. I use my super strat model guitar (Cort with HSH pickup conf) and it's twangy.

I use my Ephipone Les Paul, with the brigde pickup and the tones turned down, and it's still twangy.

Maybe not anyone like this characteristic. But for me, it's blessing, :)

(How about plug it on Tele? :) )

Mugello

Lorenzo win.

Of course we're focused on double duel (battle royal? :) ) for 2nd position of two Honda and Ducati. Before Dovis gear started trouble and Marquez lost the tyre grip.

Rossi's great too, from 8th to 3rd. The only rider that always finished in podium this  season.

Lorenzo, Iannone, Rossi

Timer Time: Using Internal ATTiny13A Chip’s Timer, "OVF" Interrupt Mode (slightly modified)

We could speeding the timer by pre-loading TCNT0 with a value between 0 and 255, so TCNT0’ll start count at our own value instead of zero. 

We have to pre-load the TCNT0 at the init subroutine, and pre-load again after flag is set, so we write the command at the timer subroutine. 

So, our code now will look like this 

.include "../tn13Adef.inc"

.def a=r16

.org 0000

    rjmp init

.org 0003

    rjmp timer

init:

    sbi ddrb,0          ; pin b0 output

    ldi a,0b00000101    ; prescaler 1024

    out TCCR0B,a

    ldi a,0b00000010    ; enable OVF

    out TIMSK0,a

    ldi a, 64           ; preload TCNT0

    out TCNT0,a

    sei                 ; enable interrupts globally

    

main:

    rjmp main

timer:

    sbi pinb,0          ; flip pin B0 bit

    ldi a,64            ; preload again 

    out TCNT0,a

    reti

    

    

Timer Time: Using Internal ATTiny13A Chip’s Timer, "OVF" Interrupt Mode

Using interrupt, we have a subroutine that regularly called, automatically.

It called when overflow flag (OVF) is set.

As always, the timer/counter (TCNT0 register) counts up from zero toward 255, called an interrupt and rolls over back to zero and starts counts up again. 

We could set the output at the interrupt subroutine so we eventually have nothing to do at the main program.

main:
 rjmp main

If we enabled interrupts, the system looks an  interrupt vector table at the bottom of memory, .org 000; composed of jumps to routines series.

OVF interrupt located at .org 0003

The first interrupt is, of course, power on or reset or initial condition, you named it…

We have to jump to it (using rjmp init) to set initial condition of our system when it connected to power source, or reset-ed. On this program we set pre-scaler to 1024, enabling OVF mode and of course enabling interrupts globally

The interrupt routine itself is only consist of toggle pinb,0 command  

.include "../tn13Adef.inc"

.def a=r16

.org 0000

    rjmp init

.org 0003

    rjmp timer

init:

    sbi ddrb,0          ; pin b0 output

    ldi a,0b00000101    ; prescaler 1024

    out TCCR0B,a

    ldi a,0b00000010    ; enable OVF

    out TIMSK0,a

    sei                 ; enable interrupts globally

    

main:

    rjmp main

timer:

    sbi pinb,0          ; flip pin B0 bit

    reti

Timer Time: Using Internal ATTiny13A Chip’s Timer “CTC” Mode

Clear Timer on Compare (CTC) as its name suggests, will clear the flag if counter has same value with compare value. 

Thus, TCNT0 still count fram zero to 255, but if we set OCR0A on 64, timer will clear the flag at 64, restart counter to zero and count up again.

If we set OCR0A to 255, then it’ll behave like normal timer in 'Normal’ Mode.

If OCR0A value’s lower, then the delay time is faster/shorter.

Here's the code. OCF0A is compare flag, the bit-3 on TIFR0 register.

Notice that we have to set TCCR0A register to enable CTC mode; in Normal mode we don’t have to do that.

.include "../tn13Adef.inc"

.def a=r16

.org 0000

init:

    sbi ddrb,0          ; pin b0 output

    ldi a, 0b01000010   ; CTC mode

    out TCCR0A,a

    ldi a,0b00000101    ; prescaler 1024

    out TCCR0B,a

    ldi a,255           ; compare value (emulating normal mode, set to lower value for shorter d)

    out OCR0A,a

main:

    sbi pinb,0          ; flip the B0 bit

    rcall timer

    rjmp main

timer:

        loop:

    in a,TIFR0          ; wait 

    andi a, 0b00000100  ; (1<<OCF0A) is OCF0A 

    breq loop

    

    ldi a, 0b00000100   ; set OCF0A to 1 again after flagged

    out TIFR0,a

    

    ret

    

    

.

Timer Time: Using Internal ATTiny13A Chip’s Timer “Normal” Mode (Slightly Modified)

Our timer is static, it have to wait TCNT0 to count from 0 to 255 and then start over.

We could modify it so it count from x to 255 to make it count faster

so we need to pre-set/pre-load TCNT0 to some value

ldi a, 200
out TCNT0,a

With that, we could make the delay time faster. Set the TCNT0 to lower value for longer delay



We  need to modify it

.include "../tn13Adef.inc"
.def a=r16

.org 0000

init:
    sbi ddrb,0          ; pin b0 output
    ldi a,0b00000101    ; prescaler 1024
    out TCCR0B,a

    

main:
    sbi pinb,0          ; flip the B0 bit
    rcall timer

    ldi a,200           ; set lower for longer delay

    out TCNT0,a
    rjmp main

timer:
        loop:
    in a,TIFR0          ; wait 

    andi a, 0b00000010  ; (1<<TOV0) is TOV0 still 1 or flagged to 0?

    breq loop

    

    ldi a, 0b00000010   ; set TOV0 to 1 again after flagged

    out TIFR0,a

    

    ret

    

    

    

Timer Time: Using Internal ATTiny13A Chip’s Timer “Normal” Mode

Chip’s Internal Timer in ’Normal' mode will count from 0 to 255, set the overflow flag TOV0 to 0 and count again from 0 to 255, set the flag to 0 and so on. 

As usual, I used LED as output indicator on Port B0

We used 1024 for pre-scaler/divider value. Set the TCCR0B to 0000 0101

Note that we have to reset the overflow flag to 1 after timer count reached 255 (and set the flag to 0). 

Oh, by the way, the register/variable/things that count from 0 to 255 is called TCNT0. We didn’t touch it in the code this time, maybe next. 

.include "../tn13Adef.inc"

.def a=r16

.org 0000

init:

    sbi ddrb,0          ; pin b0 output

    ldi a,0b00000101    ; prescaler 1024

    out TCCR0B,a

    

main:

    sbi pinb,0          ; flip the B0 bit

    rcall timer

    rjmp main

timer:

        loop:

    in a,TIFR0          ; wait 

    andi a, 0b00000010  ; (1<<TOV0) is TOV0 still 1 or flagged to 0?

    breq loop

    

    ldi a, 0b00000010   ; set TOV0 to 1 again after flagged

    out TIFR0,a

    

    ret
