Topic: How can you substitute a string on USART output?
Replies: 3
Views: 2821

Hello Francesco,

I think the issue is that USART will be a STRING so the define may need to be:-

#define Digit0 = "bn0"

USART.Write(Digit0)

I have no hardware to test it but this seems the logical method to me.

It looks like there is nothing to keep the code in order, try a while-wend after the statements so the code has something to do after it has set the pins.

Also, the HIGH statement will make the pin an output regardless of its previous state(low on an input).

Jerry this was an issue about 18-24 months ago when I got a very large program with plenty of includes, it was eating massive amounts of memory as the code explorer was logging all the parts of the includes.

I have not seen it since it was fixed but perhaps you have done what I did then but BIGGER!

I use a close variation to the Les Johnson code and its very good, used in an electronic shower valve by idiots who can tell if the water is too hot for them.

Jay we all write code in our own way, as long as logic is good and the sensible rules are followed it really does not matter.

I can only look at what you post and help if able, there will also be others watching and they may be able to offer help also.

Jay I think the use of an interrupt may still be passing you by. As far as I can see your interrupt routine can not work, it will never go beyond the delay, you must have an understanding of the whole concept to either use an interrupt or decide that it is not required. Neither the delay nor the USA...

Ok Jay, Unfortunately interrupts need more planning than the basic commands, and the code they are used within must be sympathetic to their needs. Once mastered they will allow a far more flexible structure to be implemented and very complex code which can run as if several things were going on at o...

Dear Jay, I think your interrupt routine ignores many rules which should be applied to them. I do not wish to sound horrible in saying this, but the concept of how to use an interrupt seems to have been missed. It looks to me as if you are trying to use an interrupt as if it were part of the normal ...

Have a look on the Swordfish Wiki, I did an article which may give you some ideas about the use of interrupts in Swordfish. http://www.sfcompiler.co.uk/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=SwordfishUser.TIMER3Interrupt Also on the Wiki is the Swordfish manual which has an interrupt section. http://www.sfcompiler.co.uk...

Manxman, The reason for this rating is down to the protection diodes on every pin of the micro. There is a diode junction from every pin to supply voltage that act as conductors for naughty electrons who might want to cause mischief given half a chance. Without these little friends any little surge ...

Hello bostamy, I am not sure quite where you are coming from when you say "the software reset". I think you need to do a reset sometime when using a bootloader(which I never have) and I expect this is normally a button on the PCB. Despite my confessed lack of understanding I have answered the thread...

Hello Tom,
I just this minute did an install of SF from the original disk on my MacBook Pro in VMWare Fusion with Win7 64Bit Enterprise and it went as smoothly as Sinatra ballad.

Its encouraging to see microsoft are stealing so many features from OSX that it almost makes it a pleasure to use.
