MRF24J40MA with a PIC18LF13K50

[scumari]

Hi
Trying to create a universal code for a MRF24J40MA with a PIC18LF13K50 controller in MELabs PICBASIC PRO 2.6, that should work as a receiver aswell as a transmitter, I encountered a few problems.
The code I use and the drawing can be downloaded here.
Pressing the send button should send one randomized byte in the air. The receiving unit shout receive it and copy it to the LEDS on the C-port.

The point is, I can't get it to work at all!
Did anyone have it working in PICBASIC?

Thanx in advance

It's been done in Basic.
See MRF24J40MA RF Code working.
Warning other compiler.

I thought I saw it also on the WiKi but can't find it now.

Translated that one for PICBASIC, did't work at all!

Thanx anyway

[mackrackit]

Maybe if you show you translated code someone might be able to help. And please do not expect folks to download and open a ZIP, just post the info.

It does work, I have it working but not in PicBasicPro.

It is a ZIP because it exsists of three files, the basic source, an inc file and a pdf with the drawing of the connections.
If you are scared of downloading ZIP files, a good virus scanner should be more than sufficient to be save.
It's downloadable from my own site and should be save..............

The Proton listing uses a different microcontroller and gives me SPI.inc errors while compiling from the start! Unusable for me.
At first I used an old proton source and translated it directly to PICBASIC PRO. It compiled but was not complete.

Then I recreated the Initializing, transmitting and receiving code with the MRF pdf file as guide.
Now I'm stuck.

For those still affraid of ZIP files:
