Swordfish

I also pop by pretty much every day to keep an eye on things. I also post over at Digital DIY which seems to have collected a few of the SF regulars. As regards to SF use, I use it every day in a production environment. Swordfish has been going swimmingly for ages for me so no need to ask for help! ...

Hello All,

Have been working with the Internal RTCC module for a few days now, and thought someone else might benefit from a Swordfish module being written for it, so I've popped one up on the Wiki here.

Best Regards

Hello All,

Just to note i've added a user module to the wiki for the Microchip MRF49XA sub-GHz ISM band transceiver IC here.

Regards

Core looks managable to me :

I guess if you were careful with a hacksaw ... all the vdd and gnds are on the inner legs....

No idea if its any help but there are 3 available 24F series with 14 pins in TSSOP package available (PIC24F04KA200, PIC24F04KL100 & PIC24F08KL200).

Very odd that they have not released any 18X series with less than 18 pins when they have a PIC24 core jammed in a smaller areas!

Had a look at thingspeak. Looks good! I didn't know about that one. Has a lot less stupid name too ;). If i'm not mistaken thats our fellow Swordfish guy JWinters (IOBridge)! Shouldn't be too hard to modify things to suit. Looking around, I suspect Jason already has for the iobridge modules. Been lo...

I've taken the liberty of adding a few links to Digital DIY hosted articles I wrote to the Wiki here . One is a simple demonstration HTTP client, using David's Ethernet code library. The other shows an example of using that HTTP client to interface to the online Pachube (Patch Bay) datalogging servi...

More information required please.

I run the USBCDC module quite happily on 18F4550 and 18F2550 processors under windows 7 64-bit.

Perhaps you are approaching this problem from the wrong direction. There are ways of making dropbox synchonise things outside its own folder by using Symbolic Links (search "symbolic link dropbox"). ** WARNING ** EDITED: (I got it backwards!) For example on Windows 7: You need to move your "Swordfis...

Hi David, If you're looking for testing requests for parts, the PIC18F87J50 has been my go to device for USB for a long time now ( since 2008 at least! ). Similar to the 46J50, Bunch of Ram (currently difficult to use all), BDT in the middle etc. I've done many projects that use large (> 2k) amounts...

Hi Erik, bitofgav is right i'm afraid. There is nowhere in the HID descriptor to specify what layout is in use. It's entirely up to the OS on how it handles the layout. The software is really just saying which position is pushed (scan code), not what the button actually is (char code). We simply mat...

It's not the OS that's really the issue. The hardware is atrocious. The one I had to evaluate lasted maybe 20 minutes on battery. If you left it charged overnight, it was flat by morning. The screen is softer than butter and scratched badly within 20 minutes due to the dry skin on my fingers. The sc...

Ah yes, my Boss spotted one of these on Ebay and decided they would be great to give to customers instead of our current expensive iPads.

I'll just leave this here:

I concur with ars.

I've been using 18F4550's and 18F8722's with this code. You'll probably have to trawl the datasheet to ensure thats the correct registers. Some are a bit different.

A RTC and storage part i've been using lately that may be useful to you has been the DS32C35 . I2C RTC with integrated TCXO & crystal and 8K Non-volatile FRAM. FRAM means no-backup supply needed just like EEPROM, but it has no write cycle limits plus it's very fast to write! TCXO means it seems to s...
