Thanks Jerry,

I had never looked at the IDF file before. The files used is great information to have - I've had a few cases where the files I was editing wasn't the file being used so this could be helpful.

Thanks Jerry. I'll have to take a look to understand exactly what you're saying. That brings me back to my original thought. If I have a project it its own folder, is there an easy way to import all the include files into that folder? If I'm archiving something, I may want to use all the original fi...

Does "export includes" move all the files to the same directory? I was thinking it would be safest to collect all the files for archiving.

If it's cheap, that sets it apart from Dallas 1-wire solutions!

I'm certain the availability will be much better from Microchip.

I don't know if this will help....

I've found when the PICkit is acting strange, the best this to do is disconnect it from the PC, close the GUI, and start over. This is especially necessary if power has been shorted and the PICkit has shut down, but usually cures any other weirdness too.

Just FYI, MrDEB aka Toyman has spread this topic over at least 3 different forums. This inconsiderate practice results in a duplication of effort of people attempting to help him. MrDEB doesn't place much value on other people's time and effort. Electrotech Brads Projects Forum The multilated scrap ...

This is exactly the same thing as your scrolling arrow or your scrolling single matrix. If you take the effort to understand what's going on, moving from a PIC doing the work to a '595 shift register to a MAX7219 will be a piece of cake. In fact, the MAX7219 will be easier to use, because it's takin...

You may have noticed Digital-DIY has been off-line for a few days with a "check back soon" message when you go to the site. Not to worry. I heard from Graham last night. The site is being upgraded to new versions of software and will be back up in a couple days. The site has been hacked a couple tim...

I often use the software UART to read debug-type output from the micro; it usually works ok for output but it can cause problems with certain routines. Not Quite Trivial – A Tip For Using The Software UART With The PICkit 2 shows how to configure the UART so you can read results using the PICkit 2 U...

Just for the record, Amicus isn't limited to the boards they sell. It can be used with 18F25K20 and 18F25K22 chips on any board that supports them. I'm not recommending using it, particularly as there forum tends to be hostile, suspicious and less-than-helpful. Even useful without the boot loader ha...

Hmmm...data sheets do seem to exist. Maybe it's a figment of my imagination.

Tears are running down my cheeks! Jerry, you should know better than to expect kind of rational troubleshooting approach from MrDEB....I mean toyman.

Toyman aka MrDEB, doesn't seem to understand tow important points: 1. Constants are fixed. Neither the value nor the name can be changed. 2. Variables can be set equal to the value of a constant. For example, consider: Const A = 5 Const B = 7 Dim C as Integer The statement C = A + B makes C = 12 C =...

LOL. True Jerry.

Here is the short version. and here's the long version... http://www.electro-tech-online.com/threads/search-feature-is-gone-scrolling-on-an-8-x-8-matrix.139965/ This is probably futile, but try using David's first example.... Thanks for referencing the original...um.... I'll be polite and just call...
