Re: Forum zip files

Yes same here the wiki ones work no problem.. I have tried to repair them but no success.. Thank you for confirming the issue Jerry.

Hopefully its just a glitch?, It would be a disappointment to lose the data on this forum..

Re: PicKit4 as a programmer in IDE

Your not wrong with 10k to 5v. But I use the previous circuit as an isolation circuit which is in the pickit 3 guide figure 3.1.. I have tested it without the diode and cap, and just 10k to 5v.. I still get the same result, everything works and the pic is still running.. Do you use MPLAB X IPE ? I u...

Re: PicKit4 as a programmer in IDE

I've tested this as a have a test board setup right now with a pickit 3 but I can't confirm my pickit 3 holds reset, even with the pickit 3 still connected to the pic and not powered, if I disconnect my pickit 3 or restart my P...

Re: Is it possible to store Pin ref in a structure field

I think Jerrys "multiple software I2C module" also shows some structure pin def examples.. :mrgreen:

Code: Select all

// a pin structure...
public structure TPin
    PortAddr as word
    Pin      as byte
    PinMask  as byte
end structure

Re: Default Variable Assignment

Thank you David for clearing that up for me, and thank you Jerry for the examples.. I guess that's what you get when you are switching between two similar syntax languages Swordfish and Visual Basic.. You expect things to work in the same aspects. :lol:

Re: Default Variable Assignment

Something that as caught me out a few times over the last few days is the use of this type of variable assignment, now I'm not sure if it's something I expect the compiler to do or if it's just something totally out of the scope of the compiler but this will give me a compiler error "Symbol not expe...

Anyway It's no problem David, I'm just glad that we can test these things.
Thank you for fixing the issue, I look forward to the next update!. :D
