I have a circuit board that uses a PIC18F4520 and has a programming connector that largely follows the 10 way Mikroprog pinout. Well there is one difference, both "5V" pins are connected together. I need to recommend a programmer, and although I have a design for an adapter to use a PICkit I'd rathe...

Hi Thanks for looking at this, I've traced the issues now: 1: I had the ACK vs NACK logic flipped. 2: The AT42QT2120 has quite a long "clock stretch" on the ACK bit and the first bit of the following byte. I'm estimating 40us but I haven't managed to put a scope on it. 3: I had implemented a timeout...

I wouldn't put it as bluntly as that, the old boards still have uses, but with a newer EasyPic model you get support for newer PIC series and Mikrobus sockets to accept "Click" boards.

I have a really odd communication problem between a Mikromedia board and a AT42QT2120 touch controller. It seems as if I can communicate with the IC using regular "hard" I2C, but not using soft I2C. I've just taken working code and substituted the soft_I2C library, and it appears to only work with h...

Going back to the Mikromedia Workstation I see that the board support package on Libstock: "mikromedia workStation v7 - BSP" is also missing support for the PIC18F-K version of the Mikromedia. Please add the missing support for the "K" 8 bit PIC Mikromedia variant. There IS a "mikromedia_shield_PIC1...

I've got one of these, running the demo application on a Mikromedia because it's what I had handy. It appears to be returning four on/off type signals. As a "wheel" sensor I'd expect it to return an angle, is the IQS263B capable of that?

Font creator needs to be run with some form of compatibility mode. I can't remember the exact fix but I think it was either "Run as administrator" or XP compatibility mode.

I just tried, XP sp3 compatibility worked.

I didn't mean the task bar, I meant task manager, ctrl-alt-del and all that. It has a maximise and minimise option that don't grey out. When I tried it I got a white screen with the Mikroprog window overlayed onto it.

Are you on reasonably good terms with your IT department? Have they told you what update was pushed? Do they have a test machine you could try running Mikroprog on.

Does the "maximise" option in Task Manager do anyting?

Silly question but have you checked that the window isn't just moved off-screen. I seem to recall that changing screen resolution forces all windows into the visible area.

Alternatively do you have dual monitors, and if not then has dual monitor support been enabled somehow.

Intended by who? NXP don't specify it. Surely as an I2C peripheral it is intended to be a two wire interface, SCL+SDA only. It is right that a development board should actively drive reset , since during debugging it is easy to force a program reset without resetting peripherals, potentially causing...

My understanding is it is the rise/fall time of the logic transition that causes the problem not the actual data rate. You will have to slow the data rate if you pass the signal through TWO 1n feed-through filters, but that was a special case that really ought to have been done with RS422 or 485 tra...

Has there been consideration of the amount of cable being driven? As far as I can see the cable pinout exactly matches the click pinout. The old "rule of thumb" was one power or ground line for each signal line. Because of the way the wires in a ribbon line up the SPI lines are interleaved with the ...

I see there's a "Click" board for this. I'm interested in the IC though. One thing I cannot find details of is what to do with the RESET pin, it looks like the Mikroe implementation drives RESET directly using a PIC pin, but I'd like to run just SCL,SDA so can I tie RESET positive or use a simple RC...

I'm still trying to think of a simple adaptation that would make it "plug and play". In the absence of a dedicated "Vl" pin could it detect a logic pin going above 3.3v and maybe use a CMOS switch to change from 3.3V to 5V in response? Having said that I wonder if that's even needed. If inputs toler...
