Swordfish

Not at the moment Octal...

There is plenty of life in PIC18's! I use them day to day commercially.

Hopefully we can help...

Whay not take a look at the Swordfish Font Converter plugin?

and you!

Wow, that is a good one - I'll try and take a look when I get some free time...

Have you run out of RAM yet? The compiler uses what it has to use in order to do it's job. However, please note that Swordfish uses a compile time stack. This means that RAM is recycled when a variable or temporary variable goes out of scope. There is some information here: http://www.sfcompiler.co....

I've updated the wiki

Thanks for that Jerry, a really important piece of work. I use USB a lot - thanks for sharing...

It's something I need to think about - post noted...

I've not had the chance to play around with these myself but have heard very good reports. As you point out, timing is critical to their operation.

I would also be interested to hear if anyone has used this LED device...

...and check pullups

I know it's not really offering anything new, but I must endorse what Jerry has said. I have many commercial programs running with interrupts without any problems - because I keep anything in an ISR to the bare minimum. When using an 8 bit PIC MCU you need to think about the problem differently from...

I look forward to seeing the code you come up with...

That would be fantastic!

> you have been extremely generous with SF community.

I wholeheartedly second that!!
