sorry about that., this is a better picture

read the comments in this thread. and download pdf files from http://www.ftdichip.com/index.html to gain more knowledge about the vdip...goodluck.
hi mackrackit, it been a while..
about the 2D arrays, i agree. you should get rid of those..its just making things complicated..all you need to do is simply save the file names in arrays of 12...
you can try storing storing all the file names that your PIC's array is capable of storing then when your cursor goes down to the last file name, do another serin but this time use the waitstr...
I guess unchecking the show prompt and show version would do the trick :)
thank you very much.
the firmware only show up at the start of the program. and doesn't show up anymore unless you reset the vdip2. what do you think about this?
thanks! that gave me more options to address to that problem..
what this does is select drive A: of the vdip2. i used this because the vdip2 swiches to the drive where a flash drive is last...
INCLUDE "modedefs.bas"
DEFINE LCD_DREG PORTC
DEFINE LCD_DBIT 0
DEFINE LCD_RSREG PORTD
DEFINE LCD_RSBIT 2
DEFINE LCD_EREG PORTD
DEFINE LCD_EBIT 1
DEFINE LCD_RWREG ...
sir, in my program which is similar to the code back in post #63,
the LCD prints:
Ver 03.66-123VDFCF On-Line:
then clears the display and then finally displays the filename that i wanted to...
i tried what joe said and used a pull up resistor,. still nothing happend.. that made me hopeless about my module and began thinking that mackrackit was right..may be magic smoke did got out. so i...
are you suggesting to try pullup instead of pull down? done that...didn't work..
ive been connecting that pin(rs#) to the ground using a push button. still nothing happend...no lights from the LEDs.
this is so unfortunate..my vdip2 is suddenly not working...
the status LEDs do not light when i turn the circuit on.. it also does not respond when i insert flash drives...
i tried connecting...
are saying its like this:
say you have an array named FILE1 with 12 array places, i will pre-load it with (~) so...
FILE1 = [~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~]
and then when i receive a file...
here is the rule about the files from the vinculum:
Filenames are made up of an 8 character main part and an optional 3 character extension. The presence of a ’dot’ character in the filename...
hi guys thanks for the replies but i think i got it...
the weird characters were carriage returns ($0d).

i used this code..
CRET VAR BYTE
CRET = $0D
SERIN2 VinTXD,84,[WAIT(CRET),STR...
i have a data sheet of the display...some of the characters of the are found in there but some aren't. these reason i have my eyes set on these weird character is because i think they would be the...
hi! here's what has happening to my project so far... ive been interfacing a vdip2, a pic16f877a and a 4x20LCD. i can already print the responses of the vdip to the LCD..but my problem is that some...
line feed is 10 right? if i would have the line feed to an IF statement, how would i get the compiler to understand that I am pertaining to 10 as the line feed and not the number itself? would i...
finally something good happend...
i can already print the file names inside the flash drive to the LCD :)
the cause of why i could not print anything earlier was maybe because of the timing of the...
it was already too late when i found the right schematic for interfacing the pic to the pc. my pic was already not working with any program probably because i failed to put a 1k resistor like what...
Ive did what you told me to do but i had no response from the pc. i even found a code which i think is the simplest serial communication code there is in this page:...
Im sorry about that..what i meant was PORTC.4 and PORTC.5
and will they be connected to the pins 2 and 3 of the rs232 which i believe is the receive and transmit pins.
what will be the values of...
when i used the max232 i changed the baudrate code to 84...
so you mean i will just have to connect the PORTB.4 and PORTB.5 to the pins 2 and three of the rs232? nothing more as far as hardware...
