Re: Is SPI setup the same on 87K22 and 45K22?

I was going through the 45K22 examples and saw "ANSELB" in a code, so I added "ANSELC = 0" and now it works! I thought setting the TRIS bits for SPI was enough - apparently not???

Re: Is SPI setup the same on 87K22 and 45K22?

NOTE: I have (2) ADCs, (4 DACs), EEPROM, Temperature sensor, etc. all on SPI bus. This is why I built a board with only the PIC and the ONE ADC to try to find my problem - to be sure another SPI device is not conflicting.

Is SPI setup the same on 87K22 and 45K22?

Greetings all! I have added a new (to me) ADC, the ADS8344 (16bit, 8 channel MUX). It uses an SPI bus with one command byte (to select channel, etc.) and three bytes after the command byte is the data for that channel. I always drop new IC's on a 10-pin port plug in board to test on my development s...

Network drives do not show in C Pro compiler IDE

Just installed and registered MikroC Pro, CodeGrip, NECTOSuite and MikroProg. Loading the C compiler IDE, click on open file, no network drives appear. Get an error saying they are not there. All other programs see the network drives fine. Brand new Dell laptop, have Admin rights. Any ideas? Thanks,...

mikrommb for PIC18FJ v1.05 schematics?

Anyone have this pdf somewhere? I have several of these (v1.05 hardware) and the downloaded examples are for v1.10. The pinout defines are all changed, the demo don't work. Cannot find any archive of 1.05 hardware examples or schematics. Thanks for your help! can email to: stevencovert@hotmail.com p...

Re: TFT data port

Be careful, I think the port that you define is actually D8-D16 (high byte on most controllers) when used in 8 bit mode.

Re: TFT data port

I believe one full 8-bit port must be used in order to use the libraries, for the fastest speed. Only the controls can be assigned wherever you want. If I were you, using that PIC with lots of FLASH and RAM, I would buy a ConnectEVE board and jumper the SPI bus and a chip select to it, then you are ...

Re: ConnectEVE and SD card sharing SPI1

Oh - the PWM and INT on the connector going off to the EVE... The EVE has !INT and !PD pins. Do not connected anything to these. The !PD is a power down, if this pin gets grounded the EVE shuts down. You don't need the interrupt to get this working. I think you have this right or else the EVE wouldn...

Re: ConnectEVE and SD card sharing SPI1

Nice soldering there! OK... just from looking at the picture... The PD and INT do NOT need to be connected. In VTFT the "RST" is left over from the other TFT device. The top pin (green wire) on SD card is a N.C. doesn't need anything, especially a pull-up resistor?? I'd pull it off to reduce confusi...

Re: ConnectEVE and SD card sharing SPI1

One silly mistake I made was to use a sdcard formatted to FAT16 not FAT32. The libraries require FAT32.

Re: ConnectEVE Draw Functions not working?

Robert, Actually I am helping someone who owns a small business do just this :) The mounting pattern will be such that it will mount into a standard double wide electrical box. He made a custom bezel to fit these boxes, and currently use another 4.7" system that costs about $260 each - different dri...

Re: Try to add new font on the FT800

I do not have the ARM compile, but looking at your VTFT project you do not have the external memory box checked. The VERY FIRST THING to check - do you see the CALIBRATION SCREEN asking you to touch the three spots? If not your hardware is not correct! IF YOU ARE USING an SDCARD: Your EC12_Driver.C ...

Re: ConnectEVE and SD card sharing SPI1

The screen freezes up for a while, and it doesn't respond to any more touches. If you give it a few minutes and then start touching the screen multiple times it registers a touch as if the proper image was there. It again gives the correct sound, and sends you back to the first screen (just like it...
