Hello all,
I've been working on more hardware projects for my VIC. This time I've got a clone of the VIC-REL relay board. I've mounted it in a nice two panel laser cut acrylic case, and it has a label on top with the pinout for the terminals.
I've made six and am keeping one for myself. I'm asking $45 USD for it. I will ship internationally, PM me with your country and I can give you a total including shipping.
I'll be happy to answer any questions about it. See the pics below!
Cheers!
Sam

Re: VIC-REL Clone with Case
Interesting.
I have heard of VIC-REL a couple of times over the years; Is the software still available somewhere?
Nice name for a company... dorktronix.
I recently received items from a friend with a company named Fartronix.
There's also Boulderdash who sells under the brand name "Coprolith, computer by-products"

Be normal.

How much power can those relays handle?

Re: VIC-REL Clone with Case
Thanks! It's like Mastertronic, but on a dorkier level.Nice name for a company...
The max ratings are 1 amp and 100 volts, but you'll probably want to keep it under that.How much power can those relays handle?
The "software" is just two POKEs really. Here's a quick example I whipped up.Is the software still available somewhere?
Code: Select all
10 REM VIC-20 RELAY OUTPUT EXAMPLE
20 POKE 37138,63:REM SET UP THE INTERFACE
30 S=0:POKE 37136,S:REM TURN OFF ALL OUTPUTS
40 INPUT "WHICH OUTPUT (1-6)";PN$
50 PN=VAL(PN$):IF PN<1 OR PN>6 GOTO 40
60 INPUT "ON OR OFF";O$
70 IF O$="ON" THEN GOTO 100
80 IF O$="OFF" THEN GOTO 140
90 GOTO 40
100 REM TURN ON OUTPUT
110 S=S OR (2^(PN-1))
120 POKE 37136,S
130 GOTO 170
140 REM TURN OFF OUTPUT
150 S=S AND (255-(2^(PN-1)))
160 POKE 37136,S
170 REM PRINT OUTPUT STATE
180 PRINT"OUTPUT";PN;"IS ";O$;"."
190 GOTO 40

Re: VIC-REL Clone with Case
I bought one of these on ebay, it is very nicely done!
0110 0110 0110 The number of the beast...
Re: VIC-REL Clone with Case
Thanks! They sold out pretty fast, just a couple of days. I went ahead and ordered another batch of PCBs and parts. I'll let you all know when they are ready.dragos wrote:I bought one of these on ebay, it is very nicely done!

Re: VIC-REL Clone with Case
Oh.. I forgot I was going to post here. Yeah, I have the parts for more on hand. Interested?
