Ah, I see. The compiler requires variable initialisers to be constant. The assignment itself is valid. Thanks for the help!

Hello all, Consider the following code: static void EEPROM_Write_Obj(unsigned int addr, void *obj, unsigned char size) { unsigned char i,*ptr=(unsigned char *)obj; for (i=0;i<size;i++) EEPROM_Write(addr++,*(ptr++)); } I get a "Const expression expected" error on the line: *ptr=(unsigned char *)obj D...

Hi tarakan,

I've just tried viewing my site at using Google Chrome and for some reason it doesn't load, but Firefox, Internet explorer and my phone load the site just fine. I'm not sure what's going on there, but the site is still up, so keep trying!

Hello all, I'm trying to add an extra string descriptor to my HID descriptor for use as a serial number. Unfortunately, the HID library at the moment seems to be hardcoded to send a fixed number of string descritors, otherwise I'm doing something wrong. I've searched the forum and found these two po...

Hi piort, Thanks for your suggestion - unforunately, none of the 18-pin 18Fs have I2C ports, so they're not really very suitable. I have to say, this is a rather shocking revelation - I do hope that mikroelektronika address this some time soon - having to do it manually is a pain in the butt - the c...

Let me just clarify:

The PIC16F88 has 368 bytes of RAM split over 4 banks - with only 96 bytes available in bank 0 - so if I use the mikroC PRO compiler I can only use 96 bytes?

Hello,

We're facing the same problem - does this mean that the compiler can only use variables that it has allocated in bank 0 for the 16F family? Or does it mean that you cannot have variables that span over multiple banks?

Thanks,

Hello all, I think I found a small editor bug in mikroC PRO 2009 v1.6.5.0. You can adjust the tab size in the Editor options window so that when you place the cursor on a line and press tab, the same number of spaces is generated. However, if you highlight a block of code and press tab, the tab widt...

Great news, thanks for the info!

Hello all, I just noticed that mikroE have released the PRO compiler (just in time as well, I was beginning to wonder when I would see another update!). Anyway, the most important thing on my mind is this: I own a license to mikroC - can I use that license to register mikroC PRO? Or do I have to pur...

fabim, could you tell us which version of Proteus you are using? Also, could you post a copy of a working hex file?

Thanks

Hi fvgm,

Unfortunately I haven't succeeded yet.

Sorry! If you're looking for the PC side of things, I'd like to point you to this page on my website:

http://www.helmpcb.com/Software/USBHIDVB/USBHIDVB.aspx

It shows how to create a USB HID template for Visual Basic.NET - it might help you get started.

The mikroC compiler has a USB HID library and if you install mikroC, there's a USB demo included in the program files.

@pwdixon: Heh, if you look closely at that link you posted, you'll notice that I was also the author - I'm posting it again because mikroE have not mentioned anything about this issue, whether they might work on it or not. I think one needs to think of the ME kit as a training aid, MikroElektronika ...
