Swordfish

I am not making much progress on this....or I have IR 7-segment displays! :? I'm using the module translated from the example code. #option statements before the include statements to set the port pins I'm using for clock and data. In my program, I think all I should need to do is this: TM1637.Init ...

One major thing you're missing - the bits are sent LSB first instead of MSB first. I suppose you could just invert the data to be sent. There are only a few commands and you just reverse the order of the LED segments to be sent.

This page provides some more details of the interface

Thanks Jerry.

I'm trying to wrap my head around the best way to control a TM1637 6-Digit LED Driver . Four and six digit display assemblies can be had for next to nothing from the usual sources. Has anybody developed code for these guys? Note the TM1638 from the same company uses a standard I2C interface while th...

Nevermind. Oops. Something else is going on in my code that made me think this wasn't working.

NEVERMIND. I was being stupid - first time for everything you know! I'm working on a very low power app, and I'd like to use the WDT to wake from sleep periodically to acquire a measurement and then go back to sleep. I'm using the 18F26k22 micro. It appears that the WDT post-scaler gives me the time...

David and bitogav have asked me what I know – unfortunately nothing is the answer. I haven't talked to Graham in years but I'll try to reach him and find out the situation. The site had almost zero participation for a long time. Articles were being read, but no commenters or feedback made, which is ...

Thanks for all your efforts Jerry!

Thanks Jerry and David for the updated version of Swordfish.

Happy belated New Year. Here's to a prosperous 2020.

Yes, time causes us all to forget the little details...and sometimes the big ones too ;) My point about the about box was that Microchip granted the rights to modify the program, so there is no problem with you making changes to the program. Very nice changes I have to say. Thanks again. I very much...

Excellent! That solves the problem and seems to work perfectly. I realize now that my description of the original problem was incorrect. The original PICkit 2 software appears to work in that it starts up properly and recognizes the PICkit 2 being plugged in. What it does not do correctly is recogni...

Awesome! Thank you so much. I will give this a try today.

Jon

Thanks so much. PM replied to.

Would you be willing to share your recompiled version?

I took a look at the PICkit 4. It seems to be a work in progress at this point. I may have to make the jump at some point.

Thanks for the info Jerry. I'll try to find the right dead chicken, phase of the moon, etc., and hopefully get my trusty PICkit 2 working.

LOL, but I kind of like it otherwise. The link doesn't descripe what's happening for me, but I have foind one or two tails of wor similar to mine, with answers making about as much sense. Some said MPLAB 8.9 was the problem, which was what I had started with. There were several suggestions I saw bit...
