Swordfish

Hi Bob,

I've not done what you are attempting, but the database module I wrote for use with SD might be vaguely helpful - it reads and writes structures.

Hello. To keep speculation down, I have been in touch with Dave over the last few days. He has now bumped me up to a moderator to help tackle spam, but he is alive... He is busy with work at the moment, but expects to be back in action before long. Do not worry that things have been quiet.

A string is stored as a series of bytes in ascii, so no conversion is needed. As far as the PIC is concerned, it is never a letter, it's just the ascii code for the letter, which the LCD also recognises. If you ask the compiler to print a string, when it is compiled, it will be stored in program cod...

This is an overloaded function that will process a string when passed to WriteItem. It uses the POSTINC0 and INDF0 registers to access the string in memory indirectly - you must set the FSR0 pointer to the start address of the string, then step through the string with the while loop. The loop tests ...

I think that you will only have this problem if you have one of the older Swordfish installation discs released before Vista. Since Vista was released, there was an updated install disc which creates the right directories in Vista, and I guess Windows 7. The SE version is presumably an SE version of...

Do you have the latest version of Swordfish installed from the online updates?

Thanks for doing that.

That's great thanks Graham, it's downloaded OK now. Thanks for sorting it out so fast.

That's a great contribution - thanks. I've registered on your site to download it, but the link to download the source code is not working for me. The mcHID download works OK, but not the source code.

Have a look here on the wiki: http://www.sfcompiler.co.uk/wiki/pmwiki ... ionHistory. The PIC18F14K50 is included in the download.

I'll have to look at this one - thanks for spotting it.

You could look at the ports you have used in the PIC's datasheet to make sure that none are set as analogue by default. If they are you will need to make them digital.

The complete code would probably be the best if you can replicate it.

Are you able to post your code? Are you using any arrays?

I doubt that it would work without some changes. How fast do you need to write to the memory?
