I've started putting together an 'unofficial' NABU How-To guide that aims to capture some of the information shared on this forum in the hope that it's useful to new (and perhaps also experienced) users. Feel free to contribute/point out errors/make suggestions/etc - the document sources are in gith...

Its really good! Well done. I think we will encounter more people who want to do this and your document really lays it out clearly. Nice one.

We aim to please!

A new version attached - now with added 'stuck fan' instructions!

Thank you for those images. I've completed the 'Replacing the PSU' section, so please let me know if there are any gramatical or spelling mistakes, or if anything needs clarifying. I may add two more sections: 'Freeing a stuck fan (without butchering it)' 'Making a RS422 adapter cable' Feel free to ...

Still very much a work in progress, but I've added some details: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dimitrit/nabu-howto/main/howto.pdf I didn't take any photos of the system immediately before and after removing the original NABU PSU, so do let me know if you happen to have any. Also please shout if ...

I found that it's not possible to attach PDF documents to forum posts - I ended up 'wrapping' the document in a zip archive, and attaching that, which is not ideal.

Is this a security thing (I can't think of a reason), or could the forum be configured to allow PDFs as attachments?

Thanks,

Ah, yes...the floating wires, and especially the ones with mains power! I ended up cutting them off and putting new heat shrink tubing over the terminals.

Perhaps 'Replacing the power supply' could be one section of a larger NABU Howto document?

I replaced mine with a MeanWell RT-65B and took some photos during the process, which I'd be very happy to share. I think a guide would have been helpful. For example, I decided to replace the mains lead as I wanted a UK molded mains plug (for looks), and while I am very happy with the result, I am ...

Ha...that makes a *lot* more sense! Glad the mystery is solved.

I came across this issue as I was playing with TastyBasic ( https://github.com/dimitrit/tastybasic/tree/nabu/src ) in Cloud CP/M. It hadn't occurred to me that the NABU keyboard might not generate ascii 13 -- as mentioned, I've only tried TastyBasic in Mame so far -- so I wonder how this ever worked...
