Swordfish

Not at the moment. I'm hoping to have better USB support for the compiler in the new year.

All the examples should build using the SE version. What version of the compiler are you running (look in HELP...ABOUT)...

> Just wondering about the accuracy of the above interval. The ISRTimer module is just a general purpose module that allows you to have multiple 16 bit timers. The timeout math is correct, but the end result will be skewed by the time taken to process the interrupt iseft. In short, it is not (or mea...

I think you are right in that it would only take a few extra instructions - quite a nice little 'code challenge'...

I don't really see what you are trying to achieve as a big problem, but I can't be sure without seeing some snippets of code. However, what you suggest seems to be the way forward. Rather than wa...

First a couple of points... > dim MyByteArray[10] as Byte Absolute $30 > dim MyWordArray[5] as Word Absolute $30 You can do this in Swordfish, just remember to use round brackets. For example, dim MyByteArray(10) as byte absolute $30 dim MyWordArray(5) as word absolute $30 Also note that in Swordfis...

When I was building the include files for the release, this device was still classed as a future product - so was not included. Anyway, I have now built include files to support the 18F2221, 18F2321, 18F4221 and 18F4321. To access them, http://www.sfcompiler.co.uk/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Swordfish.Support...

It's released - just download from here http://www.sfcompiler.co.uk/swordfish/download/index.html For registered users, just run the online update utility... All in all, an excellent piece of work from Steven. With his SED1520 GLCD driver you can can draw circles, lines, boxes and bitmaps. It also s...

A useful tip...

type

GLCD

in the IDE and press 'F1'. This will display a little popup with context sensitive help. Scroll down to the bottom for #option GLCD_MODEL. The GLCD module defaults to KS0108...

There must be a reason but I find the assembler variable naming conventions hard to track relative to the source code...except these are killing me..... I can understand these being difficult at first. Obviously, some means of 'name mangling' is required, as Swordfish is highly scoped and the same ...

I spoke to John today - he is really busy on another project at the moment so asked me to reply... John worked on a DS1307 module some time ago, with some really useful formatting functions. However, there are a couple of things I need to speak with him about before posting the whole set of modules....

I was having fun until I ran out of room with the RAM limit rather quickly in a relatively small program that used an 11 character string, a single long integer, and a couple bytes... Perhaps you could post or email the code that is causing the problem. At least then I could give an explanation as ...

It's now available for purchase!

Regarding the future development of Swordfish, I've posted some notes on the wiki which I hope to update on a regular basis...
