Hi Dany,

Congrats on the LibStock award!

A BIG Thank You for the support you provide and additional resources on your web site.

Well deserved honors, Robert.

Hi,

A new library has been added to the RTC package (http://www.libstock.com/projects/view/98/rtc): RTC_DS1307_Advanced.

In this "advanced" version the DST (DayLight Saving Time) functionality (among others) has been added.

With thanks to aCkO for his very simple/efficient C version of the DST check algorithm (see http://www.mikroe.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... 65&start=2)

Have fun!

Hi, A new package has been added to LibStock: the I2c_Timeout package, see http://www.libstock.com/projects/view/1 ... th-timeout.

It contains replacement routines for I2c1_Rd and I2c1_Wr but here with timeout, so no blocking any more when a device one tries to access is not present. The mE I2c library is still needed for the remaining I2c routines.
For the moment only for P16 and P18 Pic's with only one HW I2c module.

Usage (e.g. in mP):

Code: Select all

  ...
  I2c1_Wr_TimeOut(Data_, 250); // Write “Data_” with a timeout of 2500 microseconds (2.5 millisecs)
  If (I2cTimeOut > 0)       // Test if TimeOut
  then …                    // OK
  else …                    // timeout error
  ...

Thank you so much for this

Hi,

Posted a small article about "Ram Corruption", see http://www.libstock.com/projects/view/1 ... -mp-and-mb.

Purpose of this article: Make people aware about the ways of working that can introduce ram corruption (and of course how to avoid it). In this document the many ways where it goes right are not mentioned, only the danger areas are highlighted.

The document in .pdf format: http://www.rosseeld.be/DRO/PIC/RAMCorru ... Concat.pdf.

Please forward your suggestions or additions via the "comments" tab. The article is most possible not complete. All suggestions are wellcome!
Thanks in advance!

See previous post.

Added to "sources of ram corruption" to the document http://www.libstock.com/projects/view/1 ... -mp-and-mb:
- forgetting about the terminating zero of strings when manipulating them wthout use of the string routines (e.g. with memcpy)
- the "SizeOf" result when used on external items.

See previous post.

Added also the mikroBasic examples code now.

Hi, a new article has been published: http://www.rosseeld.be/DRO/PIC/PicKit2_Usage.pdf or http://www.libstock.com/projects/view/1 ... programmer about how to control a PicKit2 (MicroChip) programmer from within the IDE.

Thanks Rainer for the PicKit2 present!

Have fun!

[Dany]

See above post. Added a small part about "isolation" between the MCU and the rest of the circuit using the PicKit2 programmer.

Thanks Dany !

Ref: http://www.rosseeld.be/DRO/PIC/PicKit2_Usage.pdf or http://www.libstock.com/projects/view/1 ... programmer: changed the content of the batchfile to prevent programming errors unnoticed.

An extra version of the "Wattmeter" project (see http://www.libstock.com/projects/view/7 ... ower-meter) has been added: WattMeter_Interrupt.

This version does the measurements (ADC readings) under timer interrupt. The accuracy of the measurement timing is no longer influenced by the main loop speed here.

Sorry for my late answer, I did not see this edited part for some reason.
The answer to your question: no special tools: only a text editor and FireFTP (add-in of FireFox) to transfer the files to my provider.

Thanks a lot for answering

Hi, a new code snippet has been added to the website: http://www.rosseeld.be/DRO/PIC/Walk_Dir_Tree.mpas.

Walk trough the directory tree with the usage of Fat32_1/Fat32_2 library (see http://www.libstock.com/projects/view/58/fat).
The code is actually for Fat32_1, but can be used with Fat32_2 with minor modifications.

Content:
The routine "WalkTree" that visits recursively (without using recursion) all subdirs (starting from the current directory) on e.g. an SDMMC card.

In each (sub)dir a user routine "UserProc" is called with as parameters the current level (0 being the starting level in the dir tree) and the possibility to stop the walk through.
