Swordfish

Ok. Thanks.

Two features of MicorCode Studio I frequently used were the block comment and block outdent/indent. Any chance they could be included in the SF IDE?

Thanks.

The 18F4550 RC7 is both the USART TX and the SPI SDO. Can I 'include' both these with out any conflict? How much of a speed penalty does the software SPI cause? I am in the process of laying out a circuit so need to know before shipping off the gerber files. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

David: You are absolutely correct! That change fixed it. I have got wrap my mind around this module concept and point to the desired one EVERY time. would HID.ReadReport also be correct with this protocol? Wish I could take you down to the local and buy you a pint, or better yet, e-mail a homebrew. ...

I have the PICDEM FS USB demo board from Microchip, SF 2.0.0.2, and VB6. I can successfully send from the PIC to VB using HID but can not get any data from VB to get to the PIC. I do not know if the problem is in the VB code or the SF code. The hardware works because I can load the USBProject SF and...

I'm having a bit of a problem getting the correct data through on W2K. As I'm just learning this the problem is most likely my code. I have used the code generated with EasyHid. Right now I just want to send from the PIC to VB so a lot is commented out. anyway... // device and clock... Device = 18F4...

Any luck with W2K? Sure appreciate the help.

Will the Ethernet Module be supported in the 18F97J60? I'd be willing to pay for an upgrade for that!

Is there any way I can contact the beta tester? I know that there is some communications between the PIC and the PC w/ W2K as I changed the Descriptor file and have different text appear in the Found New Hardware window.

Also, the HID worked like a champ on W2K.

Thanks for your time.

What about using W2k vs. XP?

While XP did load and Device Manager showed a new com port, I was only able to get one character to come back. While watching the Device Manager screen, the list would go off and back on as if the USB device was being pulled and plugged back in, till eventually the system would not recognize the dev...

Yeah, sorry about the frustration. Anyway, I went through the whole process again with a reboot and still the same problem. I broke out the laptop that has XP vs. W2k and it loaded right up just like the instructions say. Hmmm. Is this supposed to work in W2K? Will work from the lap top for now. Ple...

So, I have been fighting this since the last post. I've got the same thing happening on 2 different computers, one at home and one at work. I do not know a lot about USB. That is why I paid the $ for SF. USB does not work in the free version so I had to but the full version to try it. What is the ch...

When I try to load, or point, to the driver in the D:\Swordfish\Library\USB, Windows comes back with "Windows was unable to locate a driver for this device". Device Manager does see a Swordfish Virtual COM Port but it does not show up under the hardware Ports but has the infamous yellow question mar...

Yeah, that took care of it. I was assuming (I know, you and me!) that the USART was using br9600 and the SUART was using sbr9600, two different instructions. I will take your advice and include the module name in the instruction. Thanks.
