Hi Charlie,
For some strange reason RS have 10 or 25mm2, if you wanted a lot they would probably get it.
You need to look for tri rated

HI Lester,
It would not let me reply in the actual post so I hope here is OK.
How do we know if we have agreed to it, I am not sure so I clicked on the link which shows the conditions but I cannot...

Thanks George,
I have found this, will need a bit of time to digest it http://www.protonbasic.co.uk/showthread.php/66044-Code-to-diagnose-reset-events-hopefully-may-assist-someone.

Hi,
I had a "Oh crap" moment when I plugged in a test rig I had and nothing worked, I checked for voltage and found 12V on the 5V line. I found that the common leg of the voltage regulator was...

Hi George,
Thanks for looking, if I do that I get "value expected", all the other routines use normal brackets.

As for the file calling lots of includes, the reason is that the majority of the...

Hi,
I thought I had this under control but I am now getting a bit of a problem and cannot figure out if it is my coding or something else.
I am trying to redo the CAN library so it does not need...

Hi John,
I know the two are different, I was trying to make the connection that Lib manager used Param(x) where Les code used pParam(x), neither were declared yet the compiler never complained.

I...

Hi,
Finally found time to try the example Les gave me back in post 2.
Not quite sure what I am doing wrong but I modified all the code and when I compile i get error Variable pParam(x) not found....

Hi,
I doubt you will get a response as you have not supplied a compilable example and any details of the actual fault.

Hi,
There is a good bit of software (usbdeview) someone on the forum recommended years ago and i find it useful, might help.

Bob

Hi,
Not sure if this works for 16bit devices but see no reason why not.
All I do is enter Device = 16F883 or the like, if the device number changes to blue it is supported, also in the code...

Hi,
If you posted a small compilable example I am sure someone would be able to have a look but as it stands we would be guessing as to what the rest of the code could be.

Bob

Hi Pic,
Why not try the free VSM as it is really good for things like that, you can step through the code a line at a time.


Looking at your code I think you might be getting what is in...

Ahh, you are correct. When you look at the "About" it does not give the 16bit compiler version and I just thought it was the loader as it was close.

Bob

Hi,
I have just had to re-install PDS (thanks to the latest windows10 update wrecking my laptop), I have compiler 3.6.0.3 but the loader is 1.0.2.1 and I think it should be 1.0.4.4.
I looked on my...

Hi Tim,
A bit more info might be needed, what do you consider cheap, do you want it ready made, 18, 28, 40 pin, how quick do you want it, USB support etc.
Anyway, I have a few of these which are...

Hi,
Can you post back and let me know how you get on, it looks quite interesting.

Bob

Hi Bas,
What are you expecting from the broken link, in your other post you mention a dspic.
The library will not work on those and what is there only really works seamless on very old versions of...

Hi Bas,
John is correct, i have not had enough beer time to migrate them over and the DMA is one of the issues.
I am currently in the process of re-writing the code so it does not need library...

Hi Charlie,

Hi,
After I added wServoM and bTeller3 to your example it compiled fine on Version 3.6.0.3

Bob

Hi,
I have not looked at it completely but have a look at ULN2002/3 or 2803/4/5, I think there are quite a few in that area.

Just looked and 2002/3 are only 7 outputs.

Bob

Hi Henk,
I assume you have done a google search but if not this looks like it has a lot of good information for you http://www.avrfreaks.net/sites/default/files/PS2%20Keyboard.pdf

Hi Les,
That looks like a nice bit of kit, I would get it with the stand as I could not buy the parts for the £14 or so.
I currently use an illuminated magnifying glass for fine soldering as I am...

While looking through the ADC and SPI macros to see how they work I noticed a couple of things that I could not find answers to, I searched the manual for Macro and did not find any information on...

Hi Simon,
I thought of that but the routine is used repeatedly and the calling routine may have a different variable. I keep looking at Proton24 but the CAN side is difficult/impossible, I do not...

I probably don't have a clue what I am talking about so bear with me.
In subroutines it is possible to get a returned variable (Receipt Variable) and this was also made possible in Library manager....

hi Shantanu,
I have been looking at this, I looked at B4A but (line Android studio) it appears to require a lot of other software to be installed to work.
I only want to do basics at the moment so...

Hi Stephen,
I am not hat good at Binary to Hex conversion, that is why I work in binary when it is individual bits that require set/reset.
Joseph's method is a little easier and I just put he...

Hi Pete,
I have the same issue with serout to a display, I cannot use Hserout which works as expected. For me it is only for debugging so the first character is not really important so what I do is...

Hi Norm,
I do that but in this instance i have 126 dwords where there are several bits set in each, what i did was put spaces in every 8 bits and then went through and removed them later.
have done...

Hi Joe,
That is a bit neater than what I have been doing.

Bob

Hi,
I am pretty sure this does not exist and probably not worth the effort adding but when I am doing a bit pattern my eyes start going funny trying to count where I am.
It would be nice to be able...

Hi Les,
Thanks for the link, I had not thought of looking.
I am a little disappointed as I had looked forward to the challenge especially after you has said about copy and pasting other peoples...
