Also...... As I said, I haven't used my Visual TFT for some time, and in fact, it is not installed on this computer. The license I have is a USB Dongle. I downloaded the latest version. I do not see in "Activate License" anything about the Dongle. I assume it will just work automatically, as does my...

Thank you for your reply, Danilo. As I said, if a project can be started at really low level, than it can be expanded at any time. I just want the thing to start, and then whenever I do something that stops it, I can go back. I cannot say I feel "deceived", just disappointment. My apologies for bera...

I rarely come into the forum as a write, but I read many posts. Some years back, I wrote on this subject, and at the time, didn't get a response. Me has developed over the years, and it has earned (deservedly) a place in the Professional Engineering fraternity. However, mE still claims to cater for ...

When I launch MikroPro, I get a Start page, with all sorts of windows I do not want. There are views I do not want. I have to close them. The views I do want, are not parked at the side where I want them, and I have to move them. Each time I launch the program I have to do these things, to suit myse...

Thank you Hexreader, for taking the time to look for me. That works! The only thing I had right was that I had power to the board! :? I had assumed, wrongly, that the Switches were "change over". Like, change RC6 (for instance) from being RC6 to being TX. So, I thought, all the pins on SW1 were assi...

I am having trouble with simple programs on my EasyPic ver 7. All discussion is in the code. Attached is a photo of the board. Would somene be kind enough to have a look at this for me please. Thenk you, Howard //#include "built_in.h" //********************* // void Main is at the end of the page. /...

I have just installed (updated) Microc Pro for PIC v6.4.0 When it runs, a red window appears at the lower right corner, asking if I want to update to 6.5.0 AVG baulks at it, and it apparently is an exe file in the MicroC folder Is this legitimate? I see no mention of version 6.5.0 on the Website. So...

OK, I get all that. I was half on the right track.
All I need to do now is find a real use for my new knowledge.
Thanks for your replies.

Can you actually test the MSB of the Highest bytes to get the sign? Sure, that's what it's for. In fact, having n-bit signed number fitted in larger frame, the sign bit is just repeated to fill the frame. So, if you have a 17-bit signed number contained in four bytes, bits 16 to 31 (counting from 0)...

Sorry for not replying.
No, I have no ideas at all, because I don't know much about it.
Are there bigger common screens?
I guess Ipad and everyone using such screens would use their own, and that would be a hard.
It was just a thougt, and to see if anyone was interested.
Regards,

Thanks for the direction. One of the reasons for my curiosity was that I could reduce the number of bytes I have to send. If I know the number will always be equal to or less than 16 bits, I could just send the Lo, Hi and Highest bytes. The Higher byte will be zero, and need not be sent. The Highest...

After all the discussion, I did get two way comms going. Here it is, for everyone to critisize :) MASTER: // Setup SPI using Library Init. SPI_Init sets up as a master while(1) // endless loop { SS1Pin = 0; // SS lo to Select Slave 0 delay_ms(20); // wait, to allow the slave time to find the signal....

Hi All, I'm sending data via SPI - both ways. SPI sends/receives one byte at a time, or a series of bytes. An unsigned integer can be made into two bytes with Hi(integer) and Lo(Integer) but what about other number types? An unsigned long is Lo, Hi, Higher, and Highest, How do you do a floating type...

I see some people remove the Right Edge Line, or it annoys them. I myself use it to line up comments. All (most) of my comments are tabbed to this line, so they all appear as writing on a page. This way, I can read down the comments, and review what I've done, without actually having to read the cod...

That's fine. Does SPIx_Write do it? Does the Master initiate a communication by the first write, expecting a return? I don't think it does. For example, the master: SS pin lo a small delay the Slave detects the lo pin, and loads it's current data into it's buffer The Master loads it's buffer with it...
