Re: Nice to See an Update

Jerry these new PIC 18 chips seem very impressive! Will they be supported?

David, thanks for catching the 128 byte error. I fixed that (code didn't reflow, but it could have). Turns out it was something alot simpler. Basically USART2 for this chip sets the TRISB.6 and 7 bits to 1. I had an interrupt declaration that was resetting the bits. Bad Code - 'SET DECLARE VARIABLES...

Assign Char to String (FAIL)

Gentlemen, I am using the code below to read USART2 data. I had this code working very well and then deployed some units to a customer and everything went to pot. Basically I am reading an ascii string of floating point data. It's very similar to NMEA data and the code below is derived from a NMEA p...

Thanks for the details. I was able to talk to "tech support" who was super awesome. I am pretty sure he's ordered stencils from me before. Anyways, we think the RS-232 is dead. As part of the debugging process I couldn't resist pulling the radar unit apart! Power board is on the botttom and the Ti D...

Got the SI-3 unit. Cost was $600 for one. Trouble is they do some wonky stuff on the RS232 port. Nothing big, but I am having trouble initiating RS232 with the unit. I did not opt for their $50 rs232 cable. A bit ridiculuous for a simple injection of 12V power. Anyways, there is a "remote ON" pin, b...

I have a sales inquiry into Decatur now. They are passing me from one rep to another. Annoying. Any idea on ball park pricing for these DRU-III units?

Definitely cool. I am obsessed with led signs. Got any details on the sign? I have kids now and have thought about setting up one of these for the neighborhood to keep the speeders "scared". What did you do for the radar? I am guessing some sort of commerical unit with serial interface. Got a projec...

The firewing board looks cool. Glad to see the use of usb connectors that make sense.

David, this was a super easy fix. I work with mostly 28-40 pin parts and hadn't seen the TRISG stuff. I feel kinda silly now that you pointed this out. So far it works a treat. Edit: So this will allow the compiler to compile but when I try and program the code I get a no-go. Seems to just stall or ...

Gentlemen, I am using the 18F26K22 and trying to get the USART2 up and running now that the SD card stuff is working. Any chance you know the settings to get the UART.bas code up and running? A simple hello world is presented below. I am getting "invalid variable types associated with the USART2.bas...

Jerry, thanks for the tip. I now see why your Set All Digital becomes important for these chips. I'll double check on the SLRCON stuff as well. Lots have changed on this chip! Update 03SEP2012: USing the SetAllDigital code and calling this SetAllDigital() command during an init sequence made my code...

Senachrim, I am trying to get this up and running in HW MSSP mode. Did you ever get anything working? I am using the 18F26K22 and am having a bit of trouble with the SDFileSystem.bas
