Filip, Would it work if I opened up two instances of mikroProg Suite and assigned one the Easy Pic V7 and the other the mikroProgrammer? Has it ever been tried? If I have to, I'll use the Pickit 3 with MPLAB IPE on the second CPU. Not my first choice for obvious reasons but if there is no workaround...

Howdy all, I have a rather goofball project that requires me to do HW/SW development on two PIC MCU's simultaneously. (Why two you ask? Because the client wants it that way and so far all the checks have cashed...) The main (master) CPU is located on an Easy Pic V7, the slave CPU circuit is on a pro...

Hi all, Is there a way to alias selective port bits so that only those bits can be assigned as and read in as a variable? I'm talking specifically for example about reading PORTA bits 0, 1, 2 to set a multiplier value for a later calculation without having to get the rest of the bits in the port inv...

I need to drive 2 separate 4-line displays (Hantronix HDM16416L). I'm using a common system wide data bus (RD0-RD7) to talk to all of the parallel bus chips in the system. It seems that in the LCD Hardware Library Declares I can only assign one RS pin and one Enable pin without the compiler bitching...

Filip, I'm familiar with what the data sheet says about the SPI shift registers being 8-bits. However to implement a compiler function in software to specify the variable type and/or the number of bits for the MSSP to read/write would be a very useful library function. I'm sure I'm not the first use...

I am writing control code (PIC 16F1847) for the AD9834 DDS Chip. It wants it's register data for the configuration register in word format, frequency data written in 2-words (LSB and MSB) and the Phase data in one word but SPI1_Write only writes in byte format. Why???? Breaking up the data and doing...

I'd like to have the ability in the Software SPI library to choose some data perimeters like whether the CLK idles high or low, whether you want to march the bits in LSB first or MSB first, and perhaps be able to select which bits of the transmitted value go in.

I am trying to use the software SPI library. My bugaboo is that the soft_CLK signal idles low. The chip I'm using (AD9834) really prefers CLK to idle high.
Is there a workaround for this? Yes, I can add in an inverter but adding in a part seems a bit nuts when it should be a simple software solution?

I'm having the same problem with my EasyPIC V7 board. Mikro Programming Suite insists my 16F628A is a 12F508. Just for yucks I externally socketed the '628A and tried programming it using a PicKIT3 and MPLAB IPE which worked fine. It's not necessary to pull down RB4 to program the darn thing and I s...

So, I upgraded my mikroBasic PRO for PIC32 to Vers. 4.0.0 with the built in Visual TFT and activated the built in VTFT using my existing activation code. After importing the VTFT project I have been working on, ALL of my EVENTS properties( i.e. DrawScreen) have ceased working. Not to mention that th...

I second and third the Dials and Gauges request. I have an automotive app I'm working on and at present it looks really dorkey!

I'm using Delay_us to toggle a pin on for 25us and off for 25us on a 16F1847 (32Mhz INTOSC). The timing was not coming out as expected so when I scoped out the pin (RA0) I find that the pulse width is actually 100us and the period is 200us. This is four times what I expected to see on the scope. I w...

I just began a project for a client that uses a NEMA 37 stepper motor. The motor and hybrid drive the client spec'd out have no provision for an encoder so I'm going to have to count the speed pulses in order to do the motor positioning. That's when I noticed there were no hardware libraries for the...

Hi All, How do I remap a pin to make it bidirectional? I need to remap the SCL(RC0) and SDA(RC1) pins on a 16LF1705 to RC3 and RC4 respectively to read/write to an EEPROM on an EasyPIC v7 development board. The PICbasic PRO PPS documentation isn't really clear on the procedure or if it is even possi...
