V 2.60 and DT Instant Interrupts?

[jderson]

I was wondering if Mr. Taylor's great Instant Interrupts will work with the new PBP upgrade, specifically the 18F87J90 family?

Who says there is a version 2.60?

I ordered my copy today from MCUmart.

I had a look on melabs and MCUmart, but can see no mention of 2.60. Any more info anyone ?

Yes, DT_INTS works with 2.60.

I have not updated DT_INTs-14 to work with the new Enhanced Core PIC's since I can't seem to get any of those chips.
They may even need their own DT_INTS-14E files. Not sure yet.

Once I get some chips, I'll do it. Can't wait to try them out.

P.S. Some vendors still have 2.50 as the PBP upgrade.
Make sure they are offering 2.60 when ordering.
I know Rentron.com has the new one. Got mine there.

And what news does the 2.60 bring?

As always, many new parts. New libraries have been created for
the 14-bit enhanced core.

The MPLAB integration has been reworked in response to Microchip
dropping COD file support. COFF files are now generated for all
cores, without requiring use of MPLINK. A batch-execution method
has been added to alleviate the requirement of PATH variable
modifications. A build-options checkbox for PBPL has been added.


New commands/operators are:


ARRAYREAD
ARRAYWRITE
'These commands allow you to treat an array variable with the
'ASCII format modifiers like DEC, HEX, BIN, etc. You can write
'strings into an array (format), or read values from a string in
'an array (parse). Examples:

string1 VAR BYTE[24]
string2 VAR BYTE[24]
ARRAYWRITE string1, [REP 0\24] ' fill string with zeros
ARRAYWRITE string1, ["ADC Value: ", DEC value] ' store display string
ARRAYREAD string1, 24, not_found, [WAIT(":"), DEC value] ' parse a value
ARRAYWRITE string2, [STR string1\24] ' copy from one array to another

DO 'new syntax for loops, tests are WHILE/UNTIL, at DO or LOOP
LOOP

ELSEIF 'allows multiple sections of IF..THEN with conditionals

EXIT 'jump to end of DO, FOR, REPEAT, etc.

ON GOTO 'alternate syntax for BRANCHL

ON GOSUB 'BRANCHL, but calls with GOSUB and allows RETURN

ATN 'arctangent
HYP 'hypotenuse

Well that's a musshav'it, BTW you guys sell an upgrade from PBC to PBP, any chance of a good guy price on PBC for PBP owners ? Now why would I want that? To learn it so as to be able to understand and answer questions. Going now to order 2.6.

[Charles_Leo]

Now, there's a request I don't hear every day. Sorry, though. I'm afraid there's no discounted path from PBP to PBC, even for a well-intentioned good guy.

Cost nothing to ask . . .:D
