Hi David, thanks for the quick reply, It's not completely clear to me yet whats going on as i'm not onsite very often and the information is a little second hand for me. but i was told it if sometimes fails to connect completely. but it will be an older driver as the firmware hasn't been changed for...

Has anyone noticed usb problems with windows 10? We have a few older products that use USB hid, where we haven't changed firmware for a few years and we are starting to see connection problems on some computers, has anyone noticed this happening?

Thanks Jerry, I have the master end working fine, i just cant get the slave to receive, and i bet in the end it will be a silly thing that i haven't done.

I dont know if anyone can help but I've beed trying to use the syncronus serial part of the usart on a pic 18f47j53 and i'm struggling. I've never used this mode before and i think whats complicating matters is that I'm trying to use boards that i already have and that means using the pps module wic...

I have to admit i haven't used the cap and diode for years, certainly all the pic's i've used recently have power on reset, so i just use a 10k to 5v 3.8 Power-up Delays Power-up delays are controlled by two timers so that no external Reset circuitry is required for most applications. The delays ens...

That's not a bad idea, thanks Jerry. I will investigate.

Yes.

Thanks, its already set to "release from reset"

i assume you guy's see this issue ? i'm wondering if its just my setup.

Rich

Thanks

I don't mean to hijack this thread but it is programmer related. Working remotely is generally ok but could be smoother if i could leave the programmer connected to a remote system. I have noticed that the pickit 3 when used with the mplabx ipe if the power is cycled or the pc restarted the pic kit ...

Thanks jerry, bizarrly the project i was working on had already had this done to it, so i was actually using hardware serial output on the programming header using the pps module you suggested. I would just like to point out that id done most of the work for this a year agoand had forgotten about th...

I seem to remember someone has done this before but i cant seem to be able to find a reference to it in the forums.

any thoughts?

Rich

I've thought about it, but that's about as far as i have gotten :D. having said that i never seem to have free hardware to do it, but maybe with more modern micro i could use pps. I've been using the 18F47j53 more recently which may have pps, i know I've used it in the not to distant past in somethi...

thanks for the feedback.

I normally use the fastest pic i can because the projects are never power limited.

I might try and create something with an fpga/cpld , I'm not after sustaind performance just a shorter period of interruption.


Thanks Again

Richard

HI Jerry, Generally 56k baud for comm's or sometimes i will use an i2c display, there can often be corruption with suart if i'm using interrupts or i have to disable the interrupt while sending the rs232. But mostly i'm talking about run time so that i can leave some diagnostics code in place, and p...
