I recently had a problematic project that would lock up from random excessive noise. Whilst we sorted out the root problem, I wanted to enable a Hardware Watchdog in the embedded project. If the PIC crashed, the PIC would automatically reset and probalby run fine again. I thought implmenting a Watch...

I genuinely look forward to new FC releases, for about the last ten years I've paid for the commercial use versions. I think I probably cover that cost these days, with one or two commercial projects a year. I have no issue paying extra to support FC development. (Just look at Matlab costs. haha). F...

For me the news letter is a great place to explore/promote less commonly understood features. Or covering tech topics.... like structuring program, reading and writing registers or simply revisiting aspect that clearly took a long time to develop but are not in daily use by many users, i.e. Ghost an...

Hi, I have placed an image into a demo AppDev. When I deply the program, the image is missing. Where should the image be stored to ensure I can deploy the app, independantly of the enviroment used to develop the program. I tried dropping the image in the root of the AppDev program but this did not m...

Thanks Guys, I forced the "UART Send String" macro to send -- .TxString = "~1,1,1,My Value ECTBB,12345$" which is more than 20 Char This is sent fine, so its not a hardware or UART buffer issue. Looks like a concatenation issue with strings over 20 char. I cant find a working con...

Thanks, My string contents will have a varying length. It does not appear to make any difference what length I make the resultant's String length. i.e. TXstring[25] I dont know the details of how strings are concatenated TBH, But I presumed that if an actaul string was 4 characters but the string co...

Hi, I would appreciated a second opinion on this. Attached is a simple bit of FC used for testing another program. It builds a string and sends this out over the UART at 57Kbit. A assembled string can be over 20 characters FC is attached. In simulation the output stream is fine, both UART Console an...

Hi Martin,
The channel options were only for Software or Channel 1.
If i replace with the file you provided, the issue is resolved.
All of the effected FC now compile OK.
Thanks, J.

Hi, PIC 18F2585 project, compiled and worked fine a couple of weeks ago. It will now not compile and throws the error shown below. I ran a recent update of all files, not sure if this is part of the issue. There is no hardware channel 2 for i2C on the PIC18F2585 so maybe this is a bug of some sort? ...

I've just been poking around the microchip website and saw Dual Core dsPICs. I strongly suspect this would get me very tied up in knots but has anyone tried this sort of product? I'm going to stick with a std dsPIC for now, but I like the idea of having one device that can run the general houskeepin...
