Swordfish

Very Strange ?

Hi Jerry, Ive click on the User tab and it lists all the Folders in my User Library. doesn't list any .bas file though, just the Folders?.

Yes thats true the Dongle was deleted a few version back now, Have you tried un-installing SF and re-installing SF from the new electronic download. Download = http://www.mecanique-web.co.uk/downloads/swordfish-si.exe - Then enter your product installation key!. Note, you might not need to but make ...

Sorry about the switch confusion. They are on/off switches not momentary push button switches. I think I see where the problem is now I know how you've connected your switches, I changed the while loop with a If statement because thats where I thought one if your issues was, im sure if you changed ...

Your switches in your diagram are also wrongly connected then, when you press any switch, the switches are connected to GND so this makes the input a logic 0, but your actually testing the input for logic 1 when any of the switches are pressed?. Anyway as for the compiler being updated then David wi...

Just to make it more clear, here is the modified circuit I put together for the PIC 18F2550

You need to make sure that your circuit is something like this below (follow link below), dont forget the pull-up resistor 10k on the SD DO pin but you really should use a 3V3 -> 5V level shifter.. make sure the pins are setup like this: SD_CS = PORTC.2 SD_DI = PORTC.7 SD_CLK = PORTB.1 SD_DO = PORTB...

Thanks for pointing that out Jerry.

So your code for reading the switches should be:

If you are using the SE version of Swordfish then you will have to use the "setdigitalio.bas" to setup the 18F46K22 PORTS correctly, since SE does not contain code to set the bank select register. So since SE does not contain code to set the bank select register, setting "#option SWORDFISH_SE = true...

So have you got it working with a 18F452?.

Could you post your code for the 18F2550 and maybe we could work with that, to see where the problem is?.

Thanks for explaining all that Jerry, makes more sense now

Im also a little unclear on the scoping and usage of macros with the SF Compiler, would someone mind explaning how/why we would use a macro with the SF Compiler?

The lastest version of SF comes with version 4.1.4 of the SDFileSystem.bas Module, so yes thats the latest version you have. :) If you dont set the #option or for example "#option SD_SPI_SPEED = spiOscDiv16 " in your main code, then the Module (SDFileSystem.bas) will take care of that for you by set...

You have my interest into the composite device and Mass Storage Driver.

Really appreciate all that you do Jerry

AndyO used PortB.0 as an external interrupt for his Scroll-Wheel Switch.
