Swordfish

Hi guys, I have been using the USART command 'WaitForStr' to send a string from windows terminal. Now, as my project has developed, I cannot use the same port pins. So I decided to use SUART and declared 'UART.SetRX(PORTB.2)'. However I have not managed to find the equivalent to 'WaitForStr' I have ...

Hi guys, I need to some info to get me started with SPI comms. I would like some clarification regarding the SPI protocol. Is the SPI protocol universal for all devices that implents it? For example is the SF SPI module compatable with all SPI memory devices? I had a look to some SPI devices from AT...

I Am happy with Swordfish and I want buy the licence to make full use of it.

I cannot find any link on the site or the price for the licence.

Thank a lot for the hints guys, program is working now!

I have found the fault was due to a floating ground signal (bad solder).

Hi, Thank you for the help provided so far. I was not aware of the large ammount of info available on the subject. However I have not managed to make the comms work. This is the very simple program I chose to make things happen. ##################### Device = 18F2553 Clock = 20 Include "usart.bas" S...

Thanks for the replay guys,

I am using a PIC18F2553. It has USART facility built-in.

Hi guys, I need my PC to communicate with the PIC using RS232. I understand well the hardware set-up, but I am a little lost with regard to the software. I had a look in the software library and did not find an example to start me going. Can anyone show me, to start with, a simple example to send a ...

Thank Doj,
I realise that. Trying to save code.

Thank you Steven.
Unfortunaty I am using the SE version of the compiler and it does not allow
me to use that function>

I will end-up using other string functions, like Mid$ or Left$.

Thanks again

Hi there, My first posting. :) If I use DecToStr(10), Result is "10" . If I use DecToStr(2.6) I get "2". This is undestandable and expected. So how can I overcome the obove limitations so that DecToStr(2.6) gives "2.6"? I need to display this on a LCD! Any suggestion? Thanks for any help. Francesco C

Hi, is me again.

I have found the unswer to my question and my LCD display is working OK.

When '#option LCD_DATA'=0 Lower nible enabled.
When '#option LCD_DATA'=4 Upper nible enabled.

Hi,
I have just joined and being new to PICBASIC I need a little help.
I was exploring '#option LCD_DATA '.

I would like to use the lower nible of the data bus (B0-B3) to operate the
LCD display.

Am I on the right track?

I would be grateful for any help.
