My problems seem to usually be of the type of PICNIC: Problem In Chair, Not In Computer. But this time, it's something else... maybe the last vestiges of 2020 trying to crawl out of the grave. :evil: In any case, with doing absolutely nothing different, I deleted version 7.5 and reinstalled 7.6 and....

Just deleted 7.6 and re-installed 7.5: No problems. 7.5 works fine just as all of it's predecessors.

? ? ? ? ?

Went ahead and tried 7.6 on older pc. Just ran mikrobasic pro for pic on old pc; version 7.1.0.0 runs fine. Next, uninstalled 7.1 and installed 7.6 - same exe file that crashes on newer pc. Installed as admin. Program runs in user mode (not running as admin) and initially was in unlicensed mode. Nex...

I believe the initial crashes were probably due to Win10 security issues. Each crash, there would be a system message warning about the program was attempting to make changes to some system file. Each time, I would click through the security message and tell it to allow the program to operate. Event...

Just updated my compiler to 7.6.0.0 and now it crashes reliably. May have something to do with Windows 10; every step of the way to install it and confirm the license caused Windows 10 to declare a security problem. After clicking through those to allow the program, it now starts and shows that I ha...

Check out page 145 of the datasheet for the two registers 'IOCBP' and 'IOCBN'. You don't seem to be setting these anywhere; they default to no interrupt on change. They select either change on rising edge or falling edge or both.

First: I am not a C programmer and I certainly am not an expert. But here is something to think about. You seem to be using interrupts - good :D What I would do is use a timer to produce 2ms interrupts. Then in your interrupt routine, check for timer overflow causing an interrupt. Then do something ...

As California noted, you can solve this by connecting the boards together with a 'sync' line. As to why the problem happens, it is probably because the inexpensive crystals used have initial tolerances of 50 or 100 ppm - (parts per million). And since one crystal might be high by that amount and the...

Janni: Thank you 100%!!!!

That explains all the weird results I got. Printing out the string would give various results depending on where the next zero in memory would be found.

I came to the right place for help! Thanks again!

I'm trying to insert a decimal point into a string. The code below that is commented out fails. The voltStringReport string when printed contains the correct six chars but adds two more on the end. It appears like a buffer over-run of some sort. The code below it runs fine so I can move on now but I...

I've been working with some of the newer PICs lately: PIC16F1779, PIC16F1789 AND PIC16F1769. What I found out is that on some of the newer parts, mikroBasic Pro compiler code uses between 750 to 1250 words for the uart init sequence. It looks like the problem is related to the fact that these parts ...

I'm probably doing something wrong here as I have an abysmal level of ignorance these days... using the latest V7.01 version of the mikroBasicPro compiler. When I change settings such as show 'include source lines in output files' or 'show indent guides', that all works for the current session. But ...

Did you change the OSCCON setting when you changed from 8MHz to 31kHz?

I recently did this with a few changes from the appnote and it worked ok. Here is what I did: 1. I used two pins: one driven and one to read the touch. Important: connect a resistor from the drive pin to the sense pin. Value for me worked out to be about 18K Ohms. I used a potentiometer to determine...

Just passing through here but am always interested in RGB-LED topics. Did a quick search on "sk9822 vs apa102" and found the answers you are looking for. There are a few differences but you can make both of them work for you. For example, this first one explains everything: https://hyperion-project....
