This problem comes and goes at random it seems. That makes it hard to track down the cause. Today I haven't seen the error at all and I've compiled a dozen times. I'm hoping it'll go away the next time I do a complete OS re-install.

I just did a fresh install hoping that would help. Same problem.

Yes, I'm all up to date.

I guess I'm the only user with this issue. Now it happens about every other time I compile. I have to use the task manager to end the process.

I have learned a lot from open SF libraries. I learn by example. Reading the datasheets only takes me so far. It's great to see some of the more exotic microcontroller features in real working code. I was going to use mikroB and a 24F PIC with their Ethernet library until I actually started poking a...

I own the mikroBasic 24F compiler, but I keep making excuses to stick with SF and 18F's. I can't seem to get used to the mikroB IDE. I like how SF just lets me put files in a folder to make a project. mikroB wants to manage all those aspects as well. I end up just making a mess out of things when I ...

How close is the Swordfish 24F compiler?

I've got a new project in the works. It'll be a challenge to make it work on an 18F. Should I hold out for the Swordfish 24F compiler?

Do you have a line in your code that access the data? In the past I've had to "fool" the compiler by placing a line in the code that accesses the table even if I didn't need to. Otherwise, the compiler would just leave it out to save space.

Setting 2 ports in one step?

I'm interfacing PORTA and PORTD to a 16-bit wide address bus. Currently I'm setting the address bits with the following: Sub SetAddress(myAddress as Word) PortA = Address.Byte0 PortD = Address.Byte1 End Sub Is there a more efficient way to do this? With of all the structure, union and alias abilitie...

I know this is post is a few months old, but I'm running into the same problem. I click build and it starts to compile. It eventually shows "Ready" in the bottom left corner of the IDE but it never actually makes a new HEX and there is no error.

The IO bridge is from http://www.iobridge.com of course!

Actually, the ioBridge IO-204 module is programmed in SF as well.

The scrolling sign is very cool, great job!

ISRRX and Timer simultaneously?

Can ISSRX.bas and Timer.bas coexist in the same program? I've set one to high priority and the other to low priority, but I still can't get them working at the same time.

I follow a bunch of tech forums and they all seem dead. Is the weather finally getting warmer? Maybe people are actually getting away from their computer screens.

when to use memset function

I'm not sure if anyone will be able to answer this, but I'll ask anyway. I use the TCP/IP stack that David ported over for the ENC28J60. It makes extensive use of structures and unions. I've noticed in the NETUtils.bas module, there is a routine called memset which appears to set a variable with a v...

I'm not sure that David keeps up with that part of the website anymore. We do have a thread going if you'd like to post it there:
