Hi. I have some info about the DFR0112 Wiki. The link under Original Source code is broken. I have my DRF0112 working in serial mode and it works very well. I am using a 2G Micro SD, so you may want to update the section Support SD Cards. The addition of the UART MODE section is nice.

So now I am controlling the player via VB.Net which gives me a nice front end. Thanks to Rick for the advice that got me rolling in the right direction. Since I don't code in C, I forgot about the C escape sequence and codes for Cr Lf would not translate in the terminal window. Cheers. :D

Awsome work! thanks for your contribution. I will download the program and host it directly on our servers.

2012-03-26 13:21:13 Hi Hector,

I finished the final version of DFR0112.net which now includes a way to auto detect a USB to Serial device on start up.  The code should now only display a list of Com ports that are associated with a USB Serial device.  In the project notes I include code (that I found on the net,) that shows how to detect the hot insertion of a USB serial cable. I do not plan to do any more updates to this project as I feel it is sufficient to give others the basics needed.  Enjoy.  8)

2012-03-20 16:34:34 Thanks. I will keep you updated on any changes.  I am working on a way to have the project self detect when a USB Serial device is installed for Com port enumeration. userHeadPic mtrethowan

I have added a link to your contribution on the wiki page.

Also, the source code link should be fixed now.

2012-03-12 18:43:08 I see that several people have downloaded the VB.Net example that I posted.  Please give me feedback on the project.  Did you like it?  Was it helpful? Any changes that I need to make?  Thank you and enjoy. userHeadPic mtrethowan
2012-02-27 09:00:46 You're welcome.  I do know that some micro controllers do have trouble with certain brands of SD card.  As an example, the BeagleBoard will work only once with the SanDisk but on second boot will not.  For my BeagleBoard, only micro SD cards from Patriot Memory work reliably. userHeadPic mtrethowan
2012-02-27 04:09:17 that is a really valuable contribution. thanks mtrethowan. userHeadPic R2D2C3PO
2012-02-26 13:57:17 By all means. 
The Mfg. is SanDisk.  It came formatted as Fat32, but I reformatted it Fat16 (FAT.)  You should also note that there is another format option: exFat which will not work.  The part number is too faded from handling, but as long as it is reformatted any 2G should work.  I would choose full format rather than quick format for those using Windows.  I am also making my VB.Net project available for those who want to give it a try, the project was written using Visual Studio 2008. 

The project is well commented and it can be downloaded here: [url=http://www.mediafire.com/?hga6w0eu6kmrze3]http://www.mediafire.com/?hga6w0eu6kmrze3[/url]

2012-02-25 21:52:03 Thanks for your advice. Make it compatible with 2G card is really a good news. Could you please let us know which brand sd card you are using and which model, this could help a lot for others to get their player work. userHeadPic R2D2C3PO
