Dear a2e, I have been using bootloaders all this while. It works great. Somehow I find it easier. Previously I encountered problem like yours before. The settings that we use may not be listed in the MCLoader directory. You can visit: http://www.grifo.com/SOFT/mecanique/uk_index3.htm and mail them a...

Dear all, After all this while, I am feeling a bit shameful to ask this. :oops: A couple of times, I have come through this variable "result" in many modules, but I can't seem to find where it is defined. It is not mentioned as a reserved word in SF, not declared in the system files either but it wo...

Dear Jack, Just out of interest. Update -- a 20 MHz resonator fails with this particular 18F4620, but a 16 MHz resonator seems solid. That's 64 MHz or 16 MIPS, which is not a small improvement at all. What sort of failure did you get? Hardware burnt out? Killed the PIC? :roll: Regards, Liak

Dear Jason and rmteo, Sorry for late reply. Thought thread was closed. Interesting topic, Jason, that you have brought up. I didn't know there was a thread on "overclocking". Will look in other forums for further experiences by others on same topic. But I guess it will have to be tested on PIC by PI...

Dear Steve, I sort of went through the SDFileSystem module file slowly, realizing how much work it must have been for you to bring it out. It's a daunting task , now I realize!!! Reading through it is already perplexing, not to mention of making it work. Thanks a thousand times for your effort and c...

Dear Steve and Norm, Thanks a lot for the replies. I am going through your replies meticulously. Thank you Steve for the link provided. I've been searching through the net but couldn't find a truly authoritative article, not even at Microsoft tech forum, whom started the FAT architecture. Going thro...

Dear rmteo,

Thank you very much for the feed back and links. Very useful.

Dear all, I have been struggling a bit to understand FAT16. Hope I have a correct understanding. If I am wrong please correct me. 1. Now, I have been trying to find the first cluster location (addressed in sector count) for a file on a SDcard. I think I understood the gist of FAT16 but when I read t...

Dear rmteo, Thanks for the suggestion. Already I am in the process of evaluating and learning the particular version you mentioned. Just that, it will take some time (quite some time) before I get used to the new IDE and language environment. Still hoping David will be able to release his version in...

Dear All, I have searched through the net in order to get an understanding of FAT16. Now I think I have gotten the main gist of the structure of FAT16 but a few things need clarification as I am still not able to grasp these 1. Size of FAT16 region,. In order for the FAT to allocate the addresses fo...

Dear Doj and John, Thanks for the suggestions and feedback. Indeed, I am already using multiplications and divisions with power of 2 that's the fastest I know (made a lot of difference, but still I need some more speed). I have also converted all my loops to repeat..until from For...next. Somehow th...

Dear all, I have been trying my best to squeeze out maximum speed from my PIC. Now after I have done almost everything, short of porting to PIC24, I am thinking if I can have a last attempt. Do you think there will be any big difference if I change my subroutines from running variables of type Long ...

Dear rmteo, Thanks for sharing. Nice to hear some K series brother running well outside on SF. Yeah one point I definite agree with you! I am so deeply in love with SF! Definitely efficient and exact compiler. After reading through some features of PIC24, the desire to move over the platform is swel...

Dear Mark and Ryan, Since I am still waiting to get the K series on my hand, I would like to ask some advise from you guys. BTW thanks again Mark for the reply. I have received the email. Have you people run into any problem programming the K series using SF? Just an advanced notice of any problem t...

Dear Doj,
Thanks again for the suggestions. Will try it out soon and get back to you people if I meet any success.
