Hi, I am at the point of buying SF.I have some questions though. 1. Has there been any updates to the IDE? I noticed that there is not a way to comment or uncomment blocks of code.What is the latest version? 2. As of right now what is the life expectancy of the compiler? The reason I ask this is The...

Hi ohararp,

No this is for a DS18S20.I have looked at the examples and I am not able to get any of them to work.

Hi All, I was wondering if some one can help me to convert the code below from PDS to SF.I spent 2 days disecting the OW example and now I have something working and it works with negative temps and TempF.I just need to get it working with SF.Any help is greatly appreciated. OWrite DQ, 1, [$CC, $44]...

Hi all, Question about the editor buttons or a lack there of. I understand that David Wrote the IDE for PDS. I really like the Comment /uncomment buttons.Does the latest version I the IDE have this or is this a possible feature?It seems that the IDE is lacking some features for such a great product....

[quoteHow can i make PortB.7 = or do the same thing as Portb.3[/quote]

PortB.7= PortB.3?

Hi sygma22, That should be easy.Open Sf and goto view/compile and program options.Then select install new programmer.Select install selected programmer and click next. You may have to enter the path of picflash.exe Here are the parameters I use -w -pPIC$target-device$ -f$long-hex-filename$ -q and th...

Hi RKP,

Thanks for the reply.I will try it and see what happens.

Hi All, After doing some searching I found some code. It works as it should.Even with a 8 mhz clock and using OW.setpin I don't have any delays with the temp. updating.Could there be something in the DS18S20.bas modual? DEVICE = 18f452 CLOCK = 8 <<<< notice 8 mhz INCLUDE "lcd.bas" INCLUDE "OW.bas" I...

David,

Can you confirm this? Is there anyone using a Easypic board that has the OW example working?

Hi Jason,

Is'nt the delays handled in the DS18S20.Bas? I would tak a guess that they are along with the other events that have to happen.

Hi David, Thanks.Some of the problem was my code.So now this code diplays something,but is does not update.It just sits at -1.5C DEVICE = 18F452 CLOCK = 20 #option LCD_DATA = PORTD.4 #option LCD_RS = PORTD.2 #option LCD_EN = PORTD.3 #option OW_pin = porta.5 INCLUDE "DS18S20.bas" INCLUDE "utils.bas" ...

Thanks David, I will try your advice..... Ok David after trying your advice I now get "No devie Found" and a bunch of warnings in the resaults window pointing the the OW.bas and saying" addrTris might not have been initalized,"Variable Pin might not have been initialized,Variable addrport might not ...

Well, Something weird is going on here.I am using a Easypic4 dev.board with a DS18S20. If I remove the device from the board I get "No device found",but with the device in the board I just get a blank LCD.I have been lookiing at the OW lib and the Convert lib,but I am having a hard time understandin...

Thanks Jason,

I should have seen that.I still am learning SF.

Hi Jason,

I copied and pasted your code into SF and I get a "Boolean expression expected" error and the Delayms(1000) is highlighted.
