    Re: Serout2 question

    Ioannis, I owe a you a beer or 3 :) My voltage reg was underrated to that required 3.5A. I got away with it for the 2W modules, but not these. I never would've thought of that being the culprit for...

    Re: Serout2 question

    Okay, that's something that could be an issue. I normally run a 2W transceiver on this system and I remember checking battery and voltage reg to ensure capability there; but I have to fess, it's one...

    Re: Serout2 question

    It's just weird that I'm only transmitting at 9600 baud, and the same thing happens no matter how long the 1st string is. Only happens with that transceiver module, none of the other models from the...

    Re: Serout2 question

    Okay, interesting. So that small delay might be triggering the RF transceiver to interpret the end of the packet. I'm running an 8mhz clock on a PIC18F26K83 so there is scope to play with clock...

    Re: Serout2 question

    Hi Ioannis,
    The problem isn't with the validity of the code, it's more to do with... well... the combination of the transceiver and the way PBP sends the packet. So, for a statement like that:

    Serout2 question

    Is there any switch/setting that can send everything in a serout2 command in the 1 complete packet?

    eg
    MyValue = 100
    serout2 PORTB.1, 84, ["This is my value:", dec MyValue, 13,10]

    can be sent...

    NBit Math Question

    Can anyone confirm that Darrel Taylor's NBit math routines are all *un*signed? ie. if I had negative numbers, I'm restricted to PBP's longs for processing?

    Also, is there any way of converting a...

    Definitely resolved for me. Gone from never getting through at all to (now) getting through every time.

    I get exactly the same thing. I've just accepted that it might take 20-30 attempts to open the forum page. It's been happening for a long time and only happens with this site. I'm also using Chrome. ...

    Re: Graphical Displays with PBP3

    Thanks Richard, that clears that up. No biggy anyway.

    edit: actually the one working fine was 18x24 (I was mixing up the width & height)

    Okay, so fixed widths can have a wider limitation?

    Re: Graphical Displays with PBP3

    Hi Richard,
    Finished up giving up on the serial connection as it was just a bit flaky ie. characters and graphics didn't always display cleanly etc. That might've been a wiring issue - not sure....

    Re: Graphical Displays with PBP3

    Cool, so assuming that fixes the FillRect (I'll find out this evening) everything should be dandy.

    Re: Graphical Displays with PBP3

    Another Question:
    In your graphics file for the FillRect code you have:

    frect:

    s_ystart=y0
    s_yend=y0
    while y1

    s_xstart=x0

    Re: Graphical Displays with PBP3

    Power supply going into the PIC was a PicKit2 and that doesn't appear to be the issue. I was doing all these tests on a 18F26K22 SOIC package. After you mentioned the power requirements issues, I...

    Re: Graphical Displays with PBP3

    I have a few 18F26K83s that I've used for various projects. Worth trying one of these? They can source/sink twice the current on each pin apparently.

    Scrub that... Different architecture

    No luck. There is something I should've mentioned though: in post #31 you list the pin connections:

    'spi pins used

    I've isolated the problem is somewhere within the "show" call. Not sure what it is, but that's definitely the issue. Also, I'm not totally convinced FILLRECT works properly either. DRAWRECT...
