Swordfish

Well, there is a fix.

I changed the program properties to run as an XP program and made the SF update. It updated. I then changed the program property back to Win7 mode and the update remained in place, everything appears OK.

Go Figure......

Thanks David, I understand it is hard to help when it can't be duplicated. Disablng anti-viris and firewall didn't help. I'll plug around on this end for a fix. I often find if I leave a broken part of Win7 alone for a month or two, it magically gets fixed. They issue so many patches it is hard to t...

Yes, I'm logged on as administrator. I also checked the box to run the program as administrator. Same result. After the downloads, I get SFs update success message, the SF ask "what do I want to do" box, I choose close IDE. SF box "Installation complete" flashes up just before restart. It restarts t...

When I start SF full version, it advises an update is available. After entering my Update Password, I get a successful download of the update and it appears everything updates OK. The IDE restarts after the update but the version doesn't change, it remains 2.2.0.9 and 1.1.5.5. The next time I start ...

Sorry but I'm away from my bench for several weeks but the code continues to work in an application I have running. The only thing that comes to mind is that the MLX90614 is a 3.2V device and if you have applied 5V to it, it may be fried. The pullups (I used 22k) must be tied to the 3.2V supply as w...

It was a BS170 FET

Still working fine......

Thanks rmteo for doing this. I printed it as a booklet which makes a great desk reference tool.

Good 'ole Microsoft. Although Win7(64) complained with a big red X that it didn't install the security key driver, it must have. Indeed I couldn't get SF to work as it kept insisting on the key. However - after I shut the machine completely down, and having left the key in the usb slot, upon the nex...

I'm trying to install Swordfish on a Win7 64 bit platform. All seems to go OK until the dongle driver is loaded. Win7 reports the driver installation failed. It suggests I go to the manufacturer and get the latest driver. The driver is signed so that is not the problem, it just fails to install. Fro...

The CRC module V1.1 has more routines added:

Sensiron SHTcrc8LU
SMBus SMBcrc8AL
CCITT CCITTcrc16SF
MODBUS MODBUScrc16SF
CRC16 CRC16SF

I've posted a new CRC module in the user modules area of the Wiki.

http://www.sfcompiler.co.uk/wiki/pmwiki ... .CRCModule

This module provides CRC routines for DAL8, DAL16, Sensirion, and SMB8. Please feel free to add to it.

I wrote a module which accepted the passing of pins like this Public Sub GetSHTxx(ByRef pTempF,pHumid,pDewPtF As Float, ByRef pDataPin, pClockPin As Bit) This worked with past versions of the compiler but with the last upgrade it no longer works. This does Public Sub GetSHTxx(ByRef pTempF,pHumid,pDe...

I use the Mikro Elektronika MMC/SD board shown here http://www.mikroe.com/en/tools/mmc/ Pin 10 of that board is ground. Instead of going to ground I tie that pin to the FET (BS170) drain, the source is to ground and the gate is to a PIC pin. That's it. This way I turn off the whole board so that it'...

I use Stevens routines on an SD card that is energized every 5 minutes (logging application) with a mosfet in the gnd lead. I do an init every time it is energized. It has been in operation for 6 months with no errors at all.

I'm using the new version on an 18F4620 and all is good. I'm using it in a single file logging application so am not giving it too much of a workout.

Thanks for your excellent contributions, much appreciated!
