Swordfish

Hello Gary I noticed your from Lesmurdie and it rang a bell so I had a look on google maps and it's because when I spent a while in WA I was staying with a friend in cloverdale near middleton park , so not far off :) small world. I wrote a breshenham algo for my home brew mill ages back in PDS you m...

Lol no he is same , I have spoken too him (hence the spam going GY) i'd imagine he will get around to the issues and SF is deffo not abandoned

I think SF was built as a serious product for professional use. Howver, when people that have been using the product for a long time have what seem to be unexplainable problems, there should be some sort of assistance from the manufacturer to help figure it out or fix it. No one is asking for free ...

As far as I know SF hasn't been abandoned , taking potshots doesn't help anyone. I am sure Dave would make an announcement if he was not intending to continue development ! I myself have had to put some projects on the back burner for a couple of months to make ends meet , doesn't mean I have abando...

David is alive and well just very busy at the moment trying to bring in the pennies

I have spoken too him recently and he sounded very much alive ; lol

While
getvalue ' Get value

If Value > 10 Then High(PORTB.3)
EndIf

How does the code escape for the while wend loop ?
to me you have a loop reading a value but no way to act on it.
try

While
getvalue ' Get value


If Value > 10 Then High(PORTB.3)
else low(portb.3)
EndIf

Looks more like a row driver problem to me ,, maybe a defective unit

Take a look at digi's websire all the pertinent info is there.
the 868 and 900mhz versions have a rage of 10km or so with the right antenas

Does XBEE mesh network?

yep they do

You could store the last rectangle length in a variable (if you can afford the mem) then subtract the current value from the last value and simply draw background over the difference , not the whole rectangle ,, this would be much faster.

Just do it like you would a BoB (blitter object) on the ol amiga :D Remember what you drew then un draw it. In you case you only need the difference between the last rectangle drew and the new one , if the new one is higher , draw it over the top of the old one , if it is lower draw a background col...

byte(",") is typecasting a charicter tpye to a byte type
So is like saying

Hi guys , is there anyone out there using Microelektronica's basic compiler for pic24/ds33 ?? For a current project I may HAVE to migrate to a 24. I am lothe to go away from SF and PDS for this one , but might not have a choice. Of course if David releases a 16 bit compiler like Swordfish for Pic24 ...

You can write to SD via SPI without formatting , but you must write your data in 512byte chunks (sectors) so you will need to buffer your data before each write operation , so you have enough data to fill the sector. Not sure, but I would think that there are low level commands in the module (not be...

ICD2 by Microchip also here. I'm thinking of getting a couple of pickit2's as well though because they are a lot cheaper than the ICD2 and support nearly all the same pics (just about all of em) with more being added. Besides for the price I can also afford to blow one to bits every now and then wit...
