Okay, I solved my own problem...partly a dumb mistake on my part (of course) and I also needed to adjust my quantizing constant to 1/4096 rather than 1/1024.

Everything is working perfectly and I'd swear the '4553 has a more stable AtoD converter than the '4550?!

That did the trick...many thanks! ;)

Now I just need to figure out why I'm still only getting 10-bit resolution from my code. :(

Strange issue with ADC.Read blocking on 18F4553 (12-bit A2D)

Howdy, I had a nice working program that ran happily on a '4550 that I've recently dusted off to get working on an '4553. The '4553 was chosen as it has 12-bit rather than 10-bit AD and the extra two bits make a huge difference in my application. However, it looks to me like ADC.Read(Channel) is blo...

You click on the little green circle "play" button next to the byte count and magically you'll see the target information such as device, clocksped, program bytes used and variable bytes used PLUS the maximum possible number of bytes for both those categories.

Should be in the bottom of the IDE window after compilation and is based on the "device" mnemonic.

If you're still stuck, I'll post a screenshot later.

Getting USB and dialencoder module working together

Hi all, Well, the subject line pretty much sums it up. I really don't know where to start getting both the USBhid and dialencoder module working together at the same time. I wanted to be able to use both as I'd like to send dial encoder information over USBhib -- I have both working independently, b...

I got everything working now. I'm still not sure about the T25 constant, but my setup seems to be within 0.1c of the readings on my commercial infrared thermometer so I'm happy :)

steinhart.bas

Hi there, Did anyone ever try to get this working? I've assembled a breadboard 18F4550 circuit that matches the schematic and am using AN0 for the thermistor. The display is on Port D/E and works perfectly. Oh, and I picked up a 1% 10K resistor as per the recommendation. However, I get seemingly ran...

Just thought I add to this...I use the following command line options: /PPIC$target-device$ /F$long-hex-filename$ /M /R /A5.0 /T /H5 The "/A5.0" sets VDD to 5.0VDC. - "/T" makes the PICKit 2 provide power to the target -- useful when prototyping! - "/H5" halts the command line compiler for 5 seconds...

Any way we can get a Swordfish developer to commit to a date for USB bootloader support? :)

I checked out your instructions, thanks. That might get me through for the moment.

I agree that built-in support would be awesome... *hint*

Microchip USB bootloader?

Sorry if this is an FAQ, but is it possible to use the Microchip USB bootloader with Swordfish?

TIA,
