Swordfish

@Jerry I had just about come to the same conclusion about using the software USART, and the need to convert the values in the manner you suggest. You have confirmed my suspicions that the PICAXE serial interface is OK for some simple stuff (exactly the audience that TechEd aim their PICAXE items at,...

Thanks again for your inputs. I first tried the software (SUART) method as I figured this was the method I was most familiar with and which the PICAXE 133 is known to work. Until I set the variable Pacing=350 all was just a garbled mess; introducing the delay worked wonders. 350 uS was the lowest se...

Thank you for your replies. I tried the suggestions (the latter [#option USART_BRGH = false] certainly changed the display but just to a different set of garbage characters). However, I also tried using the display with the standard Proton compiler that comes with the Amicus with similar results (ie...

Hi everyone, I'm new to Swordfish and pretty new at PIC programming although I've done a couple of simple PICAXE projects. Now I'm using an AMICUS18 board, PICkit2 and Swordfish and it all handshakes just fine. The mandatory flashing LED program compiled, downloaded and ran just fine. However, the l...
