Knowledge Base

You are possibly about to take your first step with a SPLat controller. We at SPLat Controls hope you find it a rewarding and fun process. We have worked very hard to make SPLat as easy to use, as versatile and as capable as possible. As part of that effort we have created a number of resources for you: tools, educational materials, documentation and more.

You will get the most out of all these materials if you give yourself time to at least get an overview of what is available.

The key resources are:

Mini Tutorials

The SPLat/PC programming software contains a number of “MiniTutes”. These are very brief interactive tutorials that give you a quick overview of some aspect of SPLat. Each one takes 5-10 minutes. Even if you have never written a program before, the very first MiniTute, “Quick tour”, will have you saying “Ahah!” within 15 minutes. The only skill you need to get started is how to use a computer. If you have got this far you probably have that.

Tutorials in the SKB

The SPLat Knowledge Base contains tutorials on a number of topics.

SPLat/PC programming software

This is the program you use to program your SPLat controller to do what you want it to do. This is a comprehensive program that provides program entry, simulation, downloading to the controller and more.

SPLat/PC is on the SPLat Resources CD, and you can also get the very latest version off our website at any time.

‘Classic’ help file

The help file that’s part of SPLat/PC was the original electronic documentation for SPLat. It remains the only documentation for first generation SPLat controllers, and is still the principal source of reference material and knowledge on the basic internal workings of SPLat (registers etc.)

The classic help file installs with SPLat/PC. You can download the latest SPLat/PC here.
