Re: Swordfish-si installing adware/malware

David, I am very sorry! I eventually followed a lot of links on the internet and got to the bottom of it. This particular problem was caused by a "setup.exe" in my downloads folder. Even though my Windows Temp was empty, this thing somehow hijacked the install process. I wish to categorically say th...

Swordfish-si installing adware/malware

In trying to update my setup, I followed a link from the forum, to download swordfish-si.exe. I ran it, and it prompted me for my product key- it accepted it just fine, and continued with a "Free Download Manager" install. With trepidation, I clicked continue. It launched a window where it was going...

Select/Case observation- it is "short circuiting"

I was wanting to use a Select/Case structure in a different way, such that somethings were done for individual cases, and some for combinations. I tried the following: for i=0 to 2 mc_isrtxrx.write("i: "+dectostr(i)+" ") select i case 0 mc_isrtxrx.write("Case 0"+cr+lf) case 1 mc_isrtxrx.write("Case ...

I did a similar project a few years back. I bought the Jupiter Instruments I2C bus analyzer http://www.jupiteri.com/JI-216_Files/JI-216_Top.html. It is reasonably inexpensive, and the JI guys were very responsive helping me get some Win version compatibility issues worked out. My project had one mas...

Again, apologies for dragging up an old subject. I just went the other way- I had a file called "vars.bas" which consisted of nothing other than global variables. Since it had no code, it did not NEED any other includes; hence there was no chance of a "circular reference"- it could safely be include...

Charlie, Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried that, but with no luck. I went to the .sys file and deleted it, but when I plugged the dongle back in, it seemed to find the driver- as if it had magically re-appeared. The magic of Win 7! I suppose I could try your driver, but I must say it seems lik...

Windows 7 security key doesn't work

I have been trying to get SF going on my new computer with Win7. The install from the CD seemed to go okay, but I still get the "Please install USB security key" message when I try to start SF. Using the view hardware feature, it appears that Windows knows the key is there, but it has a little yello...

Did this work? I am considering either this chip or the 13K22 for an upcoming design.

Event changes variable

I have a prioritized interrupt system, and have been working on a USART receive routine. The trouble is that when I put the code in an event, when the program returns after the event, one of my variables has been changed. I assume this is due to not SAVEing something critical, but I am not sure what...

SOLVED!

Jerry, Turns out it was "cockpit error". I forgot that on this version of the board, I brought TxD to what I thought was an unused pin on a connector going back to the Master. That pin actually goes to MCLR :oops: . So every time there was data going out, the Master was being reset- since I was usin...

Jerry, I believe I have covered all of those. Again, ALL the interrupts are working well MOST of the time, it is just the priority order which is not. I think if I were not resetting the IF or something, that interrupt would not work correctly. Once the USART traffic is handled, the I2C picks right ...

Yes, it is set to 1 in one of the other modules, at initialization. Just to be clear, the I2C works great, but is completely stops while the USART is busy. Fortunately, for this particular project, the serial data is only used for debug, so it is not going to hold it up- but it would be nice to know...

High/low priortiy interrupts question (again)

I have a slave I2C processor using 4 interrupts, where the I2C is set as high priority, and the others as low- RX USART, TX USART, TIMER1. It is all working, but not with priority. When the USART is very busy, the (high priority) I2C stuff stops working. This can be seen on a scope. I have IPEN=1 SS...

Last note- the overhead for an event is 1.4 usec at 40 MHz, so in extreme timing crunches, avoid events.
