Re: LCD_AnyPin.pbp

The timings depend on the type of LCD controller. Ususally the defaults of the manual are OK in most cases.

As Darrel stated they are not optional and should always be on the top of the program.

Re: LCD_AnyPin.pbp

Wow, I haven't used this routine yet, but I have to admit I would have fallen victim to that pesky detail as well. :wink:

I added a NOTE to post #1 in case it helps someone.

I just noticed this gem from Darrel:

Re: SOLVED - Breaking HSERIN into separate parts

Yeah, I updated my post with a comment to clear that.

I didn't field particularly clever after racking my brains trying to find the most efficient way to move data around. :D

Re: SOLVED - Breaking HSERIN into separate parts

OK, if you drop length then makes sense.

Using length variable in the STR modifier on the other hand, is very clever.

Re: SOLVED - Breaking HSERIN into separate parts

That was one area that had me overthinking USART. STR ArrayVar\n{\c}, receives a maximum of n bytes, unless it receives character c.

If I misinterpreted the manual, I'd definitely appreciate...

Re: SOLVED - Breaking HSERIN into separate parts

The stop character in the Hserin command is needed if you do not know the length of the string.

Since you define the length at the beginning of the transmission, and then use it in the STR...

Re: Breaking HSERIN into separate parts

EDIT: Length parameter has been removed, I only use StartOfData and EndOfData characters now.

Yeah, i was waaaay overthinking this.

I think I figured out what's written in plain English right in my face:

STR ArrayVar\n{\c}
Receive string of n characters optionally ended in character c

It looks like I can:

AMICUS

What is Amicus18?

Amicus is a multifunction development system inspired by the popular Arduino board, however, the Amicus board uses a Microchip PIC^® microcontroller instead of an Atmel AVR^tm type.

Comprehensive documentation and a helpful and friendly support environment, make using Amicus18 an easy and enjoyable experience for beginners and seasoned programmers.

Forum Moderator Mackrakit (Dave) very kindly ported the Proton BASIC Compiler code over to PBP3 and modified the original AMicus18 docuemts for PBP3 users.

Companion Sheild

The entry level shield is labelled The Companion Shield. This is a PCB laid out in the pattern of a solderless breadboard. The holes are single sided, which means that components can easily be removed using solder mop braid, or a solder vacuum tool, if a mistake is made, or components need to be re-used.

The (PBP3) Companion Shield Manual iCan be downloaded from here

GPS Shield

The Amicus GPS shield contains a multi channel GPS receiver, as well as a 16k byte (128 kbit) serial (I2C) eeprom, and a 3 Volt, 12mm battery socket in order to maintain the receiver's built-in RTC (Real Time Clock).

Available in our on-line store
