[TRLog] Paddle problems

[Paul Erickson]

Hi Pat,

Don't know if you got an answer to your question, but try upping the value
of the 10k pullup resistors to 20-30k.  I seem to recall reading about
someone using 30k, I just put 22k's in an interface for a computer that
was causing me the same problem, and now they work fine.

Hope this helps.

cheers, Paul

I built a little interface box with a pair of 10K resistors between pins 12 and 14 and 13 and 14 on a 25-pin jack, and hooked it to the computer with the paddle wired to 12 and 13.  I then added "Paddle Po> rt=1) to my logcfg.dat file.  As soon as TR finished initializing, the computer began sending alternating dits and dahs.  I unplugged the interface to no effect - still sending dits and dahs.
