Swordfish

Thanks for the reply. Just looked at the usart routine and all it is just as Jerry said. Wonder the the purpose of the instruction is?

Thanks

I am trying to use the readfloat instruction but only get 0.0000 as a result. // device and clock... Device = 18F4620 Clock = 20 // import modules... Include "usart.bas" Include "convert.bas" Dim red As PORTE.2, ' Red LED green As PORTE.1 ' Green lED Dim f1 As Float '********************************...

Thanks for the reply CharlieM. I guess I should have mentioned that I already tried both these options. I use Swordfish on 4 different computers, 2 at home with a 'home' dongle, and 2 away with a 'backpack' dongle. I have done updates for the last few years as they became available. The PC giving me...

I remember reading that one needs Administrator access to do an online update. I just verified I have full administrator access on my PC at work but the option is greyed out. I can't log on as Administrator but have full privileges. Any ideas?

Thanks

Thanks for the replies. And Nigle, you are correct. I want 7E1 not 7N1. Think I am so used to 8N1 and failed to check what I typed. So, I came up with // device and clock... Device = 18F4620 Clock = 40 // import modules... Include "usart.bas" Include "convert.bas" Private Dim an_sw As PORTD.4, ' Hig...

Thanks for the quick reply. Its a standard called SDI-12. The communication is 7n1 at 1200 baud. Kind of dates the standard, but have a need none the less. I did look at the code for the usart and suart libraries but do not know assembly. That's why I use swordfish. What changes did you have to make...

Has anyone tried to do 7-bit ascii? I have a project to communicate with an old system that uses it.

The device files are auto generated from MPLAB files -

Then would it be very difficult or time consuming to make the device files for an 18F46J11? Is the RTC the reason these devices are not supported?

So, I have sent 2 e-mails to David asking about support for these devices but have heard nothing back. While I am sure his time is limited, a response of some sort should not be asking too much :x Does anyone out there know what it take to make the supporting files for these devices? I am working on...

Thanks for the quick reply. 1- I do not have a compiler for the 24Fxx/24Hxx/ds33xx or the time/$ to learn/buy one. I have seen some posts about the possibility of a new SF that would. Count me as close to the front of the line if/when they become available. I really like SF and how helpful some of y...

No answer yet. Even better than receiving the files, can anyone out there explain what needs to be changed from one of the other 18FxxJ11 files? To be honest, i don't understand what is in the .bas or .inc files in the includes directory. After a search on Microchips site, I see that none of the new...

That would explain it. I can't be an admin at work as the IT guy's got this PC clamped down tight. Guess will have to update onto a memory stick and run off it. Thanks though.

Will the 18F46J11 be supported soon? Really would like to use the RTC.

Thanks.

I see on the homepage that the newest version is 2.1.0.2. My current version is 2.0.2.0. The Online Updates option under View is greyed out and not selectable. How can I get the updated one?

Thanks

Am reading an accelerometer xyz (word each) data at 80 hz and writing to memory. The Ramtrom memory is more expensive but easily keeps up with that. Want to be able to read/write faster if possible. I could write to the Ramtrom memory then re-write to an sd card to make the fat 16/32 file to send of...
