Thanks Benj!

Thanks for the quick reply Benj!
Thanks for that solution, makes sense!
Just being pedantic here, why is "bit" not recognised by the complier?
Cheers

Dave

Hi all! I am trying to set up some bits as flags (in "C" ), such as: In the supplementary code window. bit myflag; but boostc does not seem to recognise "bit" i.e. it does not highlight in blue. it states in the boostc manual for example "bit b; //variable will be placed by ...

Hi all, have an eb006 board. I switched my computer off, turned it on again to do some work and the usb connection has failed. In the device manager it says "unknown device" will not recognise the eb006.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Dave

Thanks Dazz, but I need to put the array into the prog memory not external memory.

Have had this happen 4 times now.
On saving a file the program crashes, hourglass appears and does not go away, tried control/alt/delete usually lets me terminate but this time just a grey box!!
What's going on?

Thanks Benj,
Yes I understand the usart but not quite sure about this bit, excuse the pun!

(1<<RCIF)? as in if( pir1 &(1<<RCIF))

Why not if( pir1.RCIF)

Sorry if I am not making myself clear!

Hi, can someone please give me some guidance on handling multiple interrupts. I have a single interrupt working fine.
Could you also tell me what this 'if' statement is doing and its 'logic':

if(pir1 & (1<<RCIF))

Cheers!

Dave

Hi thanks for the replies!
I re-named the back up file and took the offending corrupted .fcf out, it now works OK! Many thanks John - I thought my past 2 days work had gone down the spout!! Hope this is not a regular occurance!

Hi all, clicked to save my file and Flowcode5 just hung, would not do anything hourglass symbol not ending, so I ended the task. Re-opened Flowcode and tried to open the file but it comes up with: " an unknown error occured while accessing C:flowcode files\dmxcontrol.fcf" What do I do now?...

Hi Benj

In my ignorance I did not reprogram the chip with the ICD checked!
Cheers!

Brilliant-cheers!

Thanks for that!

Hi

I want to access the individual bits in the rcsta register by their names ie cren, and not by rcsta.4.
so I can say set bit/ clear bit "cren" by name.
Hope someone can help me with this as I have rephrased an earlier post to get a response.
Thanks

Dave

Sorted! Thanks for all help!

Thanks Benj, Is there a list somewhere of the pic's special function registers and their names which are of the right syntax for the C compiler to identify, the obvious ones are trisa and timer0 but what about the spbrg are they used as from the pic data sheets if so are they all lowercase. Thanks D...

Hi,

Iam using version 8.
When I am in ICD mode and try to step through the prog. up comes "ICD has failed to communicate with target".

Hi David,
I am using the EB006 with the flowkit plugged into port b. Does port b have to be set as an input so Flowkit can communicate with the EB006?
Sorry for the dumb questions, I have not done any programming or electronics for 4 years.

Hi

I want to be able to set/ clear bits in say timer0, in C, within Flowcode 5. How do I do this in boost C? I have in the past been using the CCS compiler and in that you would use a pre-processor directive:

#byte timer_0 = 0x01

Thanks

Dave

Yes my PDF software must be old, printed it out on another machine and OK!! I am having difficulty now getting flowkit to work... 1/ when I try and program the chip with Flowkit inline and the slider switch set to "Prog" it will not program because it says "USB cable not connected&quo...

Thanks Martin, found it tried to print it out for easy reference but no luck, same problem as above - obviously protected in some way from making hard copies!!!!!!!

Hi, have downloaded the manual from website but it does not read correctly Jpeg images of screen shots are ok but any text appears as a series of blocks and jumbled letters. Downloaded the free Boost C compiler went to "Help" tried to open the manuals there and same thing!!!!!!!!!!! Sent e...

Thanks John!
