Installing and running the TINI software

Any information regarding this page can be posted on the TINI Mailing List (tini@ibutton.com) or sent to me directly rohaly@junun.org

1. Get the TINI Board software package from Dallas Semiconductor's web site http://www.ibutton.com/TINI/software/index.html. Uncompress this using WinZip or a similar utility program. The TINI directory will be further referred as TINI_HOME. This is the directory where you should find these files:

   07/03/2003  04:35 PM    <DIR>          bin
   07/03/2003  04:35 PM    <DIR>          docs
   07/03/2003  04:35 PM    <DIR>          examples
   05/15/2003  09:15 AM             3,413 index.html
   05/15/2003  09:15 AM            13,178 License.txt
   07/03/2003  04:35 PM    <DIR>          native
   05/15/2003  09:15 AM            18,050 README.txt
   07/03/2003  04:35 PM    <DIR>          src
                  3 File(s)         34,641 bytes
   

2. The TINI Board software documentation is included in the above distribution.
3. Jump to your TINI_HOME and create a .BAT file with this line in it. Note that this is case sensitive, especially JavaKit (common mistake). This runs JavaKit, the program you will use to interact with the Board. You will use JavaKit often so a batch file is time saving:

      java -classpath %TINI_HOME%\bin\tini.jar JavaKit
   

4. Double-click the batch file you have just created. If everything was installed properly, you should be able to scroll through the combo box at the bottom and see the COM ports you have on your computer.
