Re: 160 byte framebuffer at 50 fps, internal RAM or external SRAM?

160bytes @ 50Hz is only 64kbits/s (average). Even SHIFTOUT should be able to handle that.
Running the SPI or MSSP module at a moderate 1Mbit/s will transfer those 160bytes in less than 2ms leaving...

Re: 160 byte framebuffer at 50 fps, internal RAM or external SRAM?

I think the bottleneck will be the serial interface speed (SPI) which is normally used in small OLEDs. I could not find this display WS0010B on searching for it. Unless the PIC supports a SPI DMA...

Re: 160 byte framebuffer at 50 fps, internal RAM or external SRAM?

Pretty much any external ram is going to be slower than internal storage.

Re: Command Line operation in a BATCH file

I'm now using MPASMWIN.EXE (even if the assembler's window says "MPASM v5.14") which solved the problem about the warnings.

Now, is there a way, like for Microcode Studio, to close this...

160 byte framebuffer at 50 fps, internal RAM or external SRAM?

Hello.
I'm doing a graphic project, where content of WS0010b OLED display will be updated really fast, 50fps at least.
The framebuffer size is 160 bytes. Will PBPs arraywrite/arrayread operations...

Re: 18F2580 with strange behaviour when using Hserin and RX interrupt

pll only works with primary clock sources , if you set the int-osc as primary clock then it works as expected

No, still not solved yet :frown:

When the batch file is launched with admin rights (I made a shortcut file to my batch to be able to launch it with admin rights), all HEX, ASM, etc files are not...

Re: Command Line operation ni a BATCH file

Problem solved: just needed to run the BATCH file with administrator's rights.

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

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.
