Thanks guys.
I ended up writing a function...

Code: Select all

Public Function IsReady() As Boolean
   Dim vPort As Word
   Dim vPin As Byte
   vPort = AddressOf(DREQ)
   vPin = BitOf(DREQ,false)              // get pin number
   Result = vPort.Booleans(vPin)
End Function
thanks for the confirmation...

Aliasing a Port pin as boolean

I have the following code in a module... #option VS_DREQ = PORTD.0 Dim DREQ As VS_DREQ.VS_DREQ@ However, I would like to alias the DREQ variable as a Boolean (ie. if the port.pin is high, return TRUE, if low, return FALSE). like this: if DREQ then // do stuff endif Is this possible without wrapping ...

SDFileSystem Records

I'm trying to use the Records features of the the SDFilesystem module (4.0.9), but, am getting strange results. The following code snippet always displays "00000000.000" on my LCD instead of the expected "abcdefghijkl". Any clues to why? Repeat Until SD.Init()=errOK LCD.WriteAt(2,1,"ok ") DelayMS(25...

Timer0 Module Available

I've added a new Timer0 module that can either be interrupt driven from a "master" ISR routine, or polled via a loop. I've added easy function calls to setup and manipulate the timer. See the included example for interrupt driven timer0 which has a master ISR in the mainline code that: checks for th...

the EasyMP3 should work fine.
I have both the EasyMP3 and the SmartMP3.
If anyone is considering purchasing one of these, I highly recommend the SmartMP3 board. It is plug and play and you don't have to deal with level shifting, 3V regs, etc. The cost is very reasonable.

Also, make sure that you are setting the config fuses properly (for the OSC you are using.)

SMT hand soldering is a little tricky, but, with some good desoldering braid, it's not too bad. Here are a few ways that I've done it successfully... 1) If you have a good solder mask on your PCB, you just apply solder across the pins (bridging is ok). Then, lay the desoldering braid across them, he...

Just another thought for you...

This is a classic case for RS485. It is multi-drop by design and very easy to work with.
