Swordfish

I have already had to do that to support the 18F8723!

One day the compiler will get fixed so that it doesn't keep 'upgrading' it to the old version.

RKP wrote:Has anyone successfully used the USB module with either of those PIC's?

No, but I am starting work on it later this week. This is a commercial project, so I HAVE to make it work!

Its a standard called SDI-12. The communication is 7n1 at 1200 baud. It isn't in the version of the standard that I downloaded: 4.1 Baud Rate and Byte Frame Format The baud rate for SDI-12 is 1200. Table 2 shows the byte frame format for SDI-12. 1 start bit 7 data bits, least significant bit transm...

One of these: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/produc ... ts_id=9560 might do the job.

For a complicated formula like that it is generally best to use a precomputed lookup table.

Not that I know of. I ended up copying all of the library files into the project folder as a workaround, if I recall correctly

I don't think that the cable length is the cause of your problem. I am running a colour TFT panel from a PIC32 through a 15cm cable, and it works perfectly despite write cycle times of about 40nS. Looking at your breadboard, I don't see any decoupling capacitors anywhere, at the very least there sho...

The problem is that you are passing the string by value instead of by reference. This means that the compiler has to create one copy to feed to DEBUG_OUT and another to pass to USART.Write. Even though you are only passing a single character of the string ( plus the 00 terminator ) the compiler assu...

Resonators are LOT less accurate than crystals, by a factor of at least 100, they are only slightly better than the internal RC oscllator.

I read AN575, which refers to 16F and 17F cores, but not the 18F handled by Swordfish Oops, hadn't spotted that! However, the number format will be the same using an 18F part, and still have the same limits. How does the "Float" data type get its mantissa limits of +/- 1, if the mantissa is 23 bits...

Can I represent 1,000,000,000,000.000 000 000 000 000 1? No, that is way beyond the precision of a single or even double precision ( which Swordfish doesn't support anyway ) float. Using 128 bits would just about do it. The mantissa is 23 bits, which equates to slightly less than 7 decimal digits. ...

replace the Inc( X ) instruction with the following: Remember to set Overflow to false at the beginning!

When you compile, all open files are saved and then the one that was on screen is compiled. Any files referenced by Include statements will also be compiled, files open in other tabs will not be. If a module cannot be editied, it is because it is in the compiler's own library folder. If these need e...

The code is probably working fine, but Isis is showing you the wrong memory for the array except for the first element. The first element is at 0x005B, but Isis thinks the next one is at 0x0082, 39 bytes away. This happens to be the size of the whole array, so either Swordfish is outputing incorrect...

I am using the 18F8723, I created the necessary files from the ones for the 18F8722. To do the same, in the compiler's include directory copy 18F6722.BAS and 18F7622.INC to files with 6723 in the name. Then, in 18F6723.bas change this line #const _adres = $0A // 10 bit ADC resolution to this #const ...
