Swordfish

David,
I am migrating to Vista, and all seemed OK with my SF installation, but now the update does not function correctly. It downloads and "installs", but then when it restarts, it says it needs to be updated again.

Do I need to get a new CD with a Vista compatibale version?

Thank you,
Steve

Have you tried this?SteveB

...i am still confused about the usb key. does this mean that a usb thumb drive or some sort of jump drive will be mailed with the installation cd that has a code on it? please explain. thanks. Yes, A small usb "thumb drive" like device acts as key for the software. Mine is blue, about 1 1/2 " long...

How about making the array 129 bytes long? Byte 0 then contains the number of current valid data bytes in the rest of the array. Bytes 1-128 contain the data.

Octal,
The fact that you have taken on this project is worthy of thanks. I know for myself that I can be patient. Just knowing your still working on it helps.

Many thanks, in advance,
Steve

Something interesting I've come across playing with the above overloaded routines is the way the compiler handles Word and LongWord variables (vs. how it handles promotion of Byte arrays to Words and LongWords). It looks like Words and LongWords are stored LSB first. For example, If I store $0102030...

Glad things worked out :D Now for something really cool about Swordfish, Overloading and Compounding.... 1. Save a copy of the SI2C.bas module to your "User Library" folder in the Swordfish installation folder. 2. Open this new copy and add the following code to the bottom of the file (under the Wri...

Something else... // Initialise Sub InitStart() SetBaudrate(br9600) Address = 0 SI2C.Initialize 'adcon1=%1111 <<---------------- You need to make the pins digital End Sub Here you have your ADCON1 settings dim'ed out. Since your using PortA for your I2C lines, that's going to cause problems. SteveB

One thing right off the top, put your #option lines BEFORE the include. The compiler only looks at the first declaration, and the others are ignored. Since the include files have "default" #option declarations, then those end up taking precedence. Look under "language Reference\Preprocessor" in the ...

I haven't had any success getting the font converter plug-in to generate a fixed width font. Courier New, for example, still generates a variable width font. I just downloaded and installed the plug-in, so it should be the current version. I tried changing the first bytes in the font Const listings ...

The math, usart, and convert libraries all declare variables in addition to the ones you have declared. Additionally, any routines used in these files will also declare variables. Look at the "FloatToStr" function declaration. { ***********************************************************************...

I also have added the following, but this is just convience: Public Compound Sub SPIWrite(WriteByte) I eventually intend to Overload some of the routines to allow for Words, etc. to be used with the SPIWrite. But it may be a while, so nobody hold there breath waiting. I'll post it eventually when it...

No problem with me, I am just happy when I can contribute something useful.

Edit: Made a silly comment, realized it afterward.

I think I may not have explained well enough. Using the editor options, I can select the default folder that PBP opens to when opening project files. So I have placed a folder under "My Documents" which contains my project code. However, when modifying system modules, or creating my own, I need to p...

I was having some trouble with the SPI module as well. I am using an 18F2620, Silicon A4, and was getting some inconsistent reads/writes, especially when doing a lot of TX/RX one after another. After looking at the errata, I changed the ReadByte and WriteByte routines as follows... Public Function R...
