SCP converted images - no index pulse?

Post by JimDrew »

I appears that image files converted from .scp flux images convert fine (.scp -> .hfe) but do not generate an index pulse from the hardware when using them.

I have the slim HxC updated with the latest firmware. I have it attached to the SuperCard Pro board. If I turn off the index requirement, the data looks fine (albeit randomly placed every read). I can use any of the sample images available from the HxC website and those generate an index pulse. It's just SCP conversions that do not. Is this is a known issue?

Sure this is not normal... ;)
Can you share the SCP & HFE file ?

No problem, Jeff. I don't *need* the image file, I just wanted to test the conversion to HFE and use that on my Slim HxC to feed back into the SCP. So, I was just reporting the issue to you. Thanks!
