Swordfish

Thanks Bryan, this seems to be what I needed, I will work on this.
By the way I used to like north of Kaslo BC and spend lots of time at Nelson, great place and people.

Well, I guess there no solution any one knows about. I am back to the 18F4550, the circuit board has jumpers to configure for the 4550 or the 4523. I can still program the PICs off the board and place them afterwords. But the bootloader is such a convenient way of working it is hard to give it up.

I have switched from a 18F4550 to a 18F4523, mainly because of the 12 bit AD converter. But now I realized there is no bootloader file for this device.
Is there any solution ?

Tim, I mean just that. I find the samples are good in many cases, but some times it is difficult to write ones own code based on samples that do not cover the use of available options in modules. Since SF is modular and this modules can be accessed from ones code, sometimes when there are errors in ...

I guess I would look at the samples more carefully to learn from them, but the samples are very limited in that they cover only a few options. 25640.bas is a module included in the sample program for SPI in the samples folder of SF. here it is: // if device and clock are omitted, then the compiler d...

I am trying to learn Swordfish, one of the issues to test before I buy a full version is how to use SPI with Swordfish; but I can´t find information about 25640 in SF help, is it because I only have Swordfish SE ?, or am I looking in the wrong place? In the web page in the Modules area, I can find m...

Thanks David, I did that but the only COM port available to select is COM11. It seems it is a Vista or Serial adapter problem, the adapter is really connected to COM11, that is why the IDE selects that port. But at the same time it seems there is a baud rate problem, I say this because using the ser...

I have Swordfish SE running in an old laptop, which has a serial port, I an running some tests, to evaluate, before we buy Swordfish (we have PBP but like Swordfish better). It is all fine with the serial port, but when I use a new laptop, running Vista, and a USB to serial adapter, the Swordfish ID...

I am very new to Swordfish, I mean just a few days. So I am still reading basic documentation. There is one item that pinches my mind every time I find it, the term ordinal numbers seems to be used to signify natural numbers. This is a very minor detail, but still could be changed in the documentati...
