NDSLazy/Buff- I can't initialize them properly, that's what my PC says.
ndstool must be run from a command prompt. Go to Start, then Run, and type cmd to get to it.
DSLazy uses the .NET framework (available from Microsoft's website), and I'd imagine this "Buff" program uses it as well.

Texas entrepreneur James Dondero does more than merely give money to charity; he also lends his considerable business experience and organizational vision to the groups he supports. As a result, his philanthropy is as successful as his business ventures and has had a positive impact on many aspects of life in the Dallas community.
James Dondero is the president and co-founder of Highland Capital Management, and he's been a Dallas resident since 1994. Since the beginnings of Highland Capital Management, he's made it his mission to not only do good but to also do well. The philanthropic branch of his Highland Capital Management is Highland Foundation, Inc., and it has assisted local organizations including the Dallas Zoo, the Family Place, the Perot Museum of Nature and Science as well as many others.
Dondero believes that local nonprofits should be unified in their efforts because it's all about helping the larger community. Consequently, with the help of nonprofit specialist Linda Owen, Highland reaches out to other groups to help form long and lasting giving relationships.
The Perot Museum of Nature and Science is a place for children to learn about science, technology, engineering and math in a fun and interactive way. Exhibits are hands-on and geared for young people, although adults often enjoy them as well.
Not only does the museum feature 11 permanent galleries, it also has traveling exhibits, and one of these, "Journey to Space," which covered mankind's exploration of the cosmos, was backed by Dondero. Visitors were able to see how spacesuit and spaceship technologies have evolved since the early days of space exploration and could also check-out different sites inside a model of the International Space Station.
The exhibit captured the essence of the creativity and technological vision that have been hallmarks of the space effort in the United States in general and Texas in particular since NASA was established in the Twentieth Century. Dondero said that he was proud to help the next generation of scientists learn about space exploration and the math and science at its core.
Recently, the Dallas Zoo wanted to make an upgrade to its hippo exhibit, and Dondero came through with a one million dollar gift. Because of it and other donations from Dondero and others, the zoo was able to build a state-of-the-art area for visitors to learn about and enjoy the zoo's hippos, and they named the Highland Hippo Hut, a permanent space, in recognition of his contributions.
Because of their complex needs and enormous size, creating a permanent environment for hippos is challenging, and Dallas Zoo has stated that they could not have completed their Hippo Habitat without the generous help of Dondero and other philanthropists.
Both the space exhibit and the Hippo Habitat show how philanthropy can create a better overall local community. These exhibits weren't created to make money, but rather to benefit society as a whole, and without the assistance of people like Dondero, they simply wouldn't have happened. As a result, a child who was awed by the space exhibit may grow up to be a scientist who finds a cure for cancer and residents of the Dallas area don't have to travel to Africa to see a hippo. In short, the benefits of Dondero's type of giving are numerous and immeasurable.

The "save the Date" postcard for my 15th Barnard Reunion startled me last June. Fifteen years?! Soon a letter arrived asking for nominations from our class for various awards—professional achievement, academic excellence, feminism... I laughed when I read it—a laugh embodying both humor and humility, with me standing at the kitchen counter waiting for pasta water to boil, and my kids, then 3 and 6, sitting at the table munching carrots. Although I wouldn't—couldn't— nominate myself, no one else could either. With the letter's innocent request to celebrate my classmates, I would acknowledge my utter lack of professional accomplishment since graduation.
I didn't plan it. From 1994 until 1998, I was immersed in the working world: My first job out of Barnard was at a nonprofit cultural center, with amazing people and a steep learning curve; the second was copy editor of a national magazine, my "break" into publishing. But I was miserable there, and 18 months later, four years into my working life, I left to work part time at two more magazines and to freelance as a copy editor. My quiet desire to edit more substantively and write did not compete with the fact that copyediting was paying my bills and I was enjoying the freelancer's lifestyle. And my personal life was thriving.
In 2002, I had my first child. Still freelancing, I had an easy segue into stay-at- home motherhood. My second child was born in 2005. I have continued to freelance, just enough, I often joke, to keep my brain from complete atrophy.
Still, this Barnard grad has no choice but to acknowledge that, professionally speaking, the last 15 years have yielded nothing notable. Through the prism presented by last year's milestone reunion, I see where those years have gone and the realization is not a self-deprecating one. I am okay with it. For now.
Before I had children, I read in the pages of this magazine an article about women who take a number of years out of the workforce to raise their kids to school age and then return, even a decade later. "Sequencing" (Fall 1999), it was called. This word appears during my inner dialogue, and I have always appreciated, sometimes clung to the concept, that what I am doing has been given a name. I am in the throes of completing an eight-year sequence. As I see it, professional achievement is still out there, waiting for me, mine if I want it.
One of the earliest things I remember learning about my mother was that she was one of five women in her medical school class of 1968. Her parents had wanted her to be a teacher, and she hid her plans from them until she received her acceptance letter, scholarships, and was as good as on her way. She had wanted to become a surgeon, but was discouraged, and instead chose psychiatry. She still tells us, wistfully, about her impeccable sutures, a skill that went unrealized but for her gender. Growing up, I had no notion of what I could or could not do based on gender. Accomplishment was simply up to me, not as a girl, not as a woman, but as a student, a person, a member of society. To this, my four years at Barnard added constant reinforcement. Such an ingrained understanding has allowed me the freedom to be comfortable in my choice of focus these past years, as I have never believed anything but my own ambition is required to pursue my professional aspirations when the time is right.
A college, understandably, celebrates its most successful graduates, those who are recognized for professional achievement, academic excellence, and more. I write this piece simply as a gentle lifting of the hat to the rest of us, in the midst of professional and personal lives, just perhaps less print-worthy and with quieter purpose.
Next fall my youngest child will begin kindergarten and I will begin a new sequence, one rippling with possibility and expectation. I am approaching 40, not 25, yet I feel very much as I did at graduation 15 years ago. I now have a family, a dog, a house, but certain questions are the same. What will I do? Who will I be? My mind is gleefully awhirl.


Not too sure if this has been brought up but there is a big interview with Oleg about BoB Storm of War in this months PC Pilot, there's lots of interesting pictures & they quote Oleg as saying SoW should be released late next year?!
Would you be able to scan and upload it? I really want to read it.
In summary Oleg says he aims for release sometime next year. As I cannot load all 5 pages of the PC Pilot article I will try and summarise for you guys.
There will be 32 plus aircraft types of which 10 will be flyable. Non flyable types shown in the article are Tiger Moth Swordfish Sunderland and Bf108 as well as flyable Bf109 Spitfire Hurricane Bf110 Ju88 He111 and Beaufighter models.
The delays are due to detailed development of aircraft details both internal and external, damage effects, etc. For example in 2001 Il2 contained 2000 polygons for a single engined aircraft BOB uses 25000 which have taken time to research and insert.
Similarly the ground features will be more detailed with players able to man AA guns, land and refuel and rearm aircraft once during a mission. Manual startup has been left out but the player can choose from various missions during a battle. He can affect the battle outcome but not the war.
Graphics and flight models have been built from scratch. AI will also have more variations and become more humanised and less predictable with each pilot making many more variable decisions such as panic, get angry or frightened, make mistakes, or stay calm.
Weather fronts will be as challenging as fighting so enticing you to read the reports before hand.
There will be a Maddox approved set of options and the game will be able to store add ons by other parties which players can use or section off in offline or online play as required. These may include new aircraft objects and maps.
Bob will support the latest technology including multi core processors and Track IR6DoF.
Oleg has obviously studied our comments and taken them into account. He is looking to the future expansion of the game rather than making a quick buck thus the prolonged start to ensure the basic system is in place.
It seems like the immersion factor and expansion factor will hit a new high so should be well worth waiting for.
He is looking to the future expansion of the game rather than making a quick buck thus the prolonged start to ensure the basic system is in place.
I KNEW it was the reason.
This game is 10 times as complex as IL2 ever was. Therefore it should take 10 times the time to create.
New Comp. Can wait till Late next year then!
Yes, I doubt that even today's top computers could run this game at decent graphics settings.. seems like they've gone overboard with polygon counts and fancy stuff. Better wait as long as possible before buying a new PC if you're really keen on this game!
At first glance I read: "This game is 10 times as complex as IL2 ever was. Therefore it should take 10 times longer to load game".
Manual startup has been left out? FMB? Mission gens? Or just a language bump?
Well we do seem to be getting more flyables than seemed before including bombers to start.
Well it would be nice to have a mode that woulod drop the polygon count for those wanting to fly and not worried what thier plane really looks like. Im into the AI and flight-damage model rather than exact detail of the planes give or take a few polygons.
Ground scenery is important to me though as it adds to the realism for me. Thus why I dislike MSFT CFS and FX sims. Dont tell me Im flying over Hartford, CT when the Phoenix Building is not visible.
Now this is bloody interesting! It seems Oleg had had a look at the modding business and found a way to integrate it! I will have to buy this number of PC pilot!
Il2 has been very scalable. First computer I ran the game on in 2001 was a 500mhz AMD Athlon. After that a 2.2 Ghz Athlon and now a Intel 6600 running at 3.0 Ghz. I always built computers specifically for Il2 and think I spend about $10000 over the last 7 years on computers and upgrades for the game. I'am actually glad that they take their time. It looks like the Mhz/Ghz race is over. I want SoW BOB to be as optimized possible for multiple cores and fancy graphics cards as I think that's where the most headroom is left. Just don't think it's in the cards that we will be running 18Ghz processors in 6 years and that's how long we will be playing this game if Oleg continues into WWII, Korea and or Vietnam with this sim. So take your time. The longer it takes, the cheaper the computer I have to built to run it maxed out, will cost.
Well, we`ll see. I often watch much waffle from devs about amazing stuff to go into a game a year before it`s out, then when it`s released (usually late), half the stuff mentioned isn`t there for one reason or another.
Relying on his track record I wait quietly positive, but cautious.
I am dreaming of real time ray-tracing...Imagine the effects on clouds, shadows (and self-) etc.

The Carol and Its Message of Peace
Six verses that changed the world. From the very first time it was heard, the song has been a symbol of hope, peace and solidarity.
"Silent Night": a song that connects people and one that has rung out around the world as a message of peace for 200 years – transcending national borders, language barriers and religions. In 2011 "Silent Night" was listed as an UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
The fact that Joseph Mohr, the author of "Silent Night" wrote the lyrics in German is symbolic that this carol has always played an integral role in overcoming barriers. This was unusual in the early nineteenth century, when religious texts were generally composed in Latin – a language understood only by the educated classes. Joseph Mohr, a down-to-earth man, had a particular concern for the poor and needy and felt inspired to create a sense of community and mutual understanding. The German text – which could easily be understood by everyone – was undoubtedly an audible manifestation of this. His own profound Christian faith also flowed into his lyrics. The touching melody by Franz Xaver Gruber, a teacher from Arnsdorf, completed the composition, which was to become a symbol for peace and humaneness.

"Silent Night" in the trenches
Christmas 1914 on the Western Front: Only five months after the outbreak of the First World War, more than a million soldiers had already fallen or been wounded. But then an extraordinary pacifist miracle of fraternisation took place among thousands of soldiers of different nationalities.
On Christmas Eve, a hush fell over the trenches. On both sides of the some 50-kilometre-long front in Flanders, the combatants laid down their weapons and helmets and sang Christmas carols of their native countries. "Silent Night" was one of them – sung in various mother tongues. An act of solidarity and a sign of peace in the midst of war.
A message of hope and optimism in 6 verses
1. Silent night! Holy night!
All is calm, all is bright,
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child!
Holy Infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace!
Shepherds quake at the sight!
Glories stream from Heaven afar,
Heavenly Hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour, is born!
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy Holy Face
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy Birth!
4. Silent Night, Holy Night
Here at last, healing light
From the heavenly kingdom sent,
Abundant grace for our intent.
Jesus, salvation for all.
5. Silent Night! Holy Night
Sleeps the world in peace tonight.
God sends his Son to earth below
A Child from whom all blessings flow
Jesus, embraces mankind.
Mindful of mankind's plight
The Lord in Heav'n on high decreed
From earthly woes we would be freed
Jesus, God's promise for peace.
The song as a political message of peace
The economist and philosopher Leopold Kohr, who was born in Oberndorf and emigrated to the US in 1938, was the author of many anti-war publications during the Second World War. With the help of "Silent Night", Kohr initiated a number of campaigns eliciting support for his native country. For years, every Christmas season he published dozens of newspaper articles in which he used "Silent Night" as a political song against Nazi Germany and for the liberation of Austria.
""Silent Night" starts off as a lullaby for the newborn Christ Child. The comforting thought of salvation and love threads through all six verses."
Solidarity and aid
Austria's famous Trapp Family from "The Sound of Music" emigrated to the US before the outbreak of the Second World War. After the end of the war a US officer approached the singing family from Salzburg and described the suffering of the people of Salzburg that he witnessed when he arrived in the city with the famous "Rainbow" Division. The Trapp Family responded immediately by founding Trapp Family Austrian Relief Inc., with its headquarters in Vermont. Some 150 tonnes of relief supplies were donated when the Trapp Family from that point on began their concerts with the following appeal: "The country that gave to the world Haydn, Schubert, Mozart, and Silent Night will perish if we do not help."

Acmi presents Live in the Studio: Downtown Abbey – Spotlight Report "The Best Entertainment Website in Oz"
June sees us looking at the deliciously salacious world of Downton Abbey. From blackmailing butlers and scheming chambermaids, to gallant English noblemen and impeccably dressed ladies, this period drama has been a hit equally with both men and women around the world.
For two seasons, we have swooned, cringed and secretly (occasionally not so secretly) taken sides in both scandalous and trite conflicts with the inhabitants of the Grantham Estate. With 6 Primetime Emmy® Awards, a Golden Globe® and entering the Guinness Book of Records as 'the most critically acclaimed show for 2012', Downton Abbey has become a household favourite; as has the sharp tongued one liners of Lady Grantham, delivered by the talented Maggie Smith.
June's panel of guests include EastEnders writer Peter Mattessi, TV critic Debi Enker and editors and bloggers extraordinaire, Mel Campbell and Karen Pickering. They'll tête-à-tête their way through corsets, dinner bells and thoughts on what has made this show so popular.
Perhaps they'll discuss the appearance of modern day content such as TV aerials or double yellow lines on the roads within season one? Or maybe they'll re-enact scenes to reinforce their point, or maybe just because they enjoy feeling aristocratic?
Whatever happens in Live in the Studio, you can be sure it will be a night that incites debate, revelry and thought; give you insight and a new perspective. You'll never look at the lords and ladies of Downton Abbey in the same way again.

Bridge work to begin this summer
Keith Roysdon
MUNCIE — A half-century-plus-old bridge will be replaced this summer through a contract awarded Monday.
The Delaware County commissioners awarded a contract to replace Bridge 159 to the firm Hoosier Pride. County engineering director Angie Moyer said the company had the lowest bid when bids were opened two weeks ago. Bids opened at the time ranged from $490,000 to nearly $800,000.
The bridge, built in 1960, will be totally replaced. Engineering and other fees will add another $200,000 to the project.
Work on the project won't begin until after July 11, Moyer told the commissioners. She said in an interview that the timing is due in part to relocation of AT&T utilities and also so the bridge, which carries Windsor Road at Prairie Creek Reservoir, would not be closed when traffic will use the route to see fireworks at the reservoir.
The county has several other bridge projects in the works, but two large-scale projects will not see actual construction until 2017 at earliest: The bridge that carries Tiger Drive in Yorktown and the bridge that carries South Tillotson Avenue on Muncie's west side.
Thirteen percent of bridges in Delaware County are deficient, according to a survey by a national infrastructure repair group, The Star Press reported in October. The number doesn't mean that the bridges are dangerous, however.
The county has 194 bridges in its inventory, although that doesn't count structures below a certain size. There are hundreds of small structures that carry roads around the county.
Projects that are partially funded with federal dollars can take several years from planning to completion.

Koelbel Urban Homes RENDEzVOUS Catalyst
Koelbel
The Industry Integrator
Mike Biselli
I'd like to tell you the story of an idea. It's an idea that I believe will revolutionize how we innovate, how we work, and how we do business. Last week, my team and I shared this idea with the world for the first time. We sent out a press release announcing the decision of three highly regarded healthcare organizations – Terumo BCT, the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, and the American Diabetes Association – to join Catalyst HTI, a first-of-its-kind real estate development that when completed will bring together relevant stakeholders from across the healthcare industry.
And in that press release, we gave this idea a name: the industry integrator.
But this idea goes back several years, back to 2012 when I co-founded MedPassage, a digital health company that directly connected the buyers and sellers of surgical implants. My co-founder and I were responding to the ACA's mandate to reduce the cost of healthcare by bringing together hospitals and implant manufacturers via an online platform – effectively cutting out the middleman in implant sales when that middleman wasn't delivering clinical value.
During this time, we went through all of the hardships that characterize the digital health startup experience. We had to develop our product and refine our business model while chasing after the investment money that would keep our company afloat. We had to convince established organizations to take us seriously while dealing with the profound disconnect between how things were done in the startup world and how they were done in the healthcare industry.
But during this time we also witnessed the power of collaborative work spaces to encourage entrepreneurs, technologists, and creatives to work together. We observed how prominent features of the innovation economy like accelerators and incubators could give startups the support they needed to get their products to market. And we saw how organizations like Prime Health could transform digital health ecosystems into communities of clinicians, developers, academics, and policy-makers committed to re-imagining healthcare.
In December of 2013, a private equity group in southern California acquired MedPassage, and I went on vacation to celebrate my successful exit from the company. Upon returning to Denver, I received a call from Jake Rishavy, one of the founders of Prime Health. Jake informed me that he and Jeffrey Nathanson, Prime Health's CEO, wanted my help in turning Prime Health into a statewide organization.Rock Health had just identified Colorado as top-ten digital health cluster in the nation, and Jake and Jeffrey planned to enhance our ranking by extending Prime Health's reach from Denver to the entire state.
While working with Prime Health to make Jake and Jeffrey's vision a reality, I gained a unique perspective on the inner dynamics of startup communities. I met the founders of innovative early stage companies who were using digital health technology to significantly improve care while dramatically lowering its cost. And I observed established healthcare organizations waking up to the possibility of a widespread transformation of the American healthcare system.
A series of questions started running through my mind. How could we bring everyone in the healthcare industry together – from single-person startups to Fortune 20 organizations – to accelerate innovation? How could we take the collaborations made possible by Prime Health's monthly meetings and turn them into an everyday reality? And, most importantly, how could we give the health-tech community – this growing collection of technologists, clinicians, and entrepreneurs from across the healthcare industry – a home?
And that's when I knew what I had to do.
INTEGRATING THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY
Catalyst HTI won't be an incubator. It's going to contain several of those. It won't be an accelerator, either. It's going to have more than one of those, too. And it definitely won't be just another co-working space. Catalyst HTI's co-working space will be located on its fourth floor, where we will house over fifty health-tech startups – strategically positioning them between the established companies on the building's lower floors and the anchor tenants on its upper floors to encourage serendipitous collisions between the community tenants.
Instead, Catalyst HTI will be an industry integrator, a real estate development that will bring together relevant stakeholders from across the healthcare industry to accelerate that industry's current reimagining. From established healthcare organizations like Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) to digital health startups like BurstIQ, from business accelerators like Boomtown to advocacy organizations like the ADA, and from medical schools like CU Anschutz to global health-tech companies like Terumo BCT, everyone in Catalyst HTI will work side-by-side to create, develop, refine and bring to market cutting edge innovations that will fundamentally transform healthcare as we know it.
The industry integrator concept makes this level of collaboration possible by taking the different members of the healthcare industry and integrating them at the point of innovation. By connecting health-tech startups with the resources and partnerships they need to thrive while simultaneously linking established healthcare organizations with the innovators who are re-imagining their industry, Catalyst HTI will bring value to all of its tenants. But most importantly, it will provide a space where everyone – whether clinicians, entrepreneurs, investors, executives, academics, or policy-makers – can work together to create the future of healthcare in America.
The reimagining of our broken system won't happen with startups alone. It won't happen with only established healthcare organizations, either. I firmly believe that it's going to take all of us working together to give this country the healthcare system it so desperately needs. Which is why I'm convinced that industry integration at the point of innovation is absolutely necessary if the current transformation of the American healthcare system is going to deliver on its promise to improve the health of our citizens by providing high-quality, affordable care.
But it's going to take all of us. Remember, whether you're an executive at a Fortune 20 organization or the founder of a single-person startup, if you're passionate about reimagining healthcare, you have a seat at our table.

Dog missing for 2 years reunited with family after they saw him on TV
byCatherine Garcia

A Wisconsin man who fell asleep with the television on wasn't dreaming when he woke up and saw his missing dog on the morning news.
The Milwaukee man, identified as Dwight, was stirred awake last month during a segment on WITI-TV about dogs available for adoption. He immediately knew that the small brown dog with an underbite on the television screen was Payday, his dog that went missing about two years ago. Payday was his daughter's best friend, and the family never gave up hope that the dog would find its way back to them.
Dwight called the TV station, which put him in touch with the Wisconsin Humane Society. Payday was at one of their locations not far from Dwight's home, and later that day, Dwight's mom Melissa went to the facility to pick up the pup. As soon as Payday saw her, he jumped into her arms and covered her with kisses. Watch the delightful reunion here.
It Wasn't All Bad

Device to help BPD with traffic enforcement
The Bartlesville Police Department has employed the use of technology to help fight speeding in Bartlesville, BPD Detective and Public Information Officer Sgt. Daniel Elkins said recently.
Thanks to the Oklahoma Highway Safety Grant, the police department has implemented "TraffiCloud," an electronic traffic management system that will help monitor and collect traffic data and help identify problem areas. The device is placed on the roadside where it also displays traffic speed on an easy to read display for motorists to ensure they are in compliance with the speed limit, Elkins said.
"The Bartlesville Police Department would like to make note that we have taken speeding complaints seriously throughout our community," Elkins said. "Naturally, we have turned to technology to help aid in maximizing our recourses to better serve the community in providing safe roadways in our neighborhoods as well as major thoroughfares.
He said TraffiCloud gathers "a tremendous amount of data," including the rate of traffic activity by the hour, the number of vehicles, speed of each vehicle, as well as the average speed. Elkins said the data is then used to help determine where extra traffic control efforts are needed.
"This data will allow the police department to take an analytical approach at where to best place our resources to ensure that we are maximizing our efforts to keep our roads safe," he said. "It is important to the Bartlesville Police Department to identify problem areas within our community and to make an immediate response to those areas."
Currently, the TraffiCloud is set up on Georgetown Drive just east of Silver Lake Road, in the Colonial Estates neighborhood.
"The TraffiCloud will remain on Georgetown Drive until we have a better understanding of the traffic in that area," Elkins said. "The TraffiCloud will then be deployed in other potential problem areas within our community,"
For more information, contact Elkins at 918.338.4027.

Veterans Day parades were held in East Hampton and Sag Harbor villages on Sunday, November 11, the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day, which ended World War I in 1918.
In East Hampton, veterans marched from Newtown Lane to the memorial at Hook Mill on North Main Street. After a short ceremony there, the veterans marched up North Main Street to the new memorial at the East Hampton Emergency Services Building. The memorial was dedicated to Pvt. William Patrick Flynn, an East Hampton Village resident who was killed in Vietnam.
In Sag Harbor, veterans marched from the Civil War Monument at Main and Madison Streets to the American Legion on Bay Street, where there was a short ceremony at which U.S. Army Sergeant Max Yardley gave the keynote address.


You can use the Arduino boot loader but in this example an AVRISP MKII is used to flash an Bascom-AVR Bootloader.
At first we need to configure the SPI interface and initialize the SPI interface. Then we need a defined Reset of the WIZ820io before we configure the TCPIP Interface. Important is also the waitms 350 to give the WIZ820io time to be ready for the first command.
*We use noint. This is the preferred method.
The following code can be used with the Easy TCP/IP tool in Bascom-AVR under Tools >>> Easy TCP/IP.
Hit Setup UDP then you can send the text by klicking on SEND.
Print "-----START WIZ820io Arduino Duemilanove DEMO-----"
On Timer1 Timer_irq Saveall 'the SAVEALL option is NEEDED !
Res = Tcpread(idx , R(1) , Result) 'get data with TCPREAD !!!
Print "PING OK --> Exit Do..Loop"
Print "NTP Server not available"
To get started an Arduino Duemilanove board is used with an Arduino prototyping shield and prototyping jump wires.
To get the 3.3V for the WIZ820io power supply an voltage regulator is needed to transform the 5V from the Arduino board to 3.3V.
For this you need an AVRISP MKII and AVR Studio to flash the bootloader on the Atmega328P on the Arduino.
Just compile this Hello World program and hit the Program Chip button or use shortcut F4 in Bascom-AVR (the programmer should be already configured before).
Hello World messages coming in.
Now it's time to start with WIZ820io.
We use noint. This is the preferred method.
SPI = 1. THe W5200 chip is connected with SPI.
On Timer1 Timer_irq Saveall 'the SAVEALL option is NEEDED !
Res = Tcpread(idx , R(1) , Result) 'get data with TCPREAD !!!
