    What if you populate the array with a character that would probably not be used in a file name, (~), and parse the array for that before the array is used again.

    Or, have a "working" array. This would be one that stored arrays are parsed into for using.

    Stored array with (~) character
    Stored array re-written into sandbox array
    Sandbox array is sent to VDIP
    Start over with next stored array.

    Maybe....
    are saying its like this:
    say you have an array named FILE1 with 12 array places, i will pre-load it with (~) so...
    FILE1 = [~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~]

    and then when i receive a file named "vdip.txt" from the vdip serially, then the array would be like:
    FILE1 = [v][d][i][p][.][t][x][t][~][~][~][~]
    am i right with this? please correct me if im wrong...

    then when i want to send command to the vdip that i want to copy that particular file, i will be sending the "CPS" command plus the array of bytes stored in FILE1 including the bytes that contains [~] back to the vdip, but the vinculum is very strict with the spelling...if i include these bytes it will respond with "command failed" if only i could remove those unneeded bytes before sending it back to the vdip...

    am i getting your idea right?

    Thinking more about this the "~" will not do you any good. Still need to re-write the array but...

    Assume file names should only contain letters and numbers. The problem is other characters are showing up..
    So when the file name is read from the VDIP say it is saved into "arrayF". Before "arrayF" is used again it needs checked for bad characters. Right?

    Again have a working array that will be used and/or reused to send back to the VDIP, "arrayW".

    The bad characters are at the end of the name?
    What if you check each bit of "arrayF" and IF the bit equals A-Z or 0-9 then that bit will be written to "arrayW". When the first bad character bit is found the re-write loop stops.
    Now "arrayW" should only contain valid characters.

    This thread should give you some ideas on how to process the arrays.

    I hope this is on the correct track.

    this is so unfortunate..my vdip2 is suddenly not working...

    the status LEDs do not light when i turn the circuit on.. it also does not respond when i insert flash drives...

    i tried connecting it to the pc's serial port to see if the LEDs are just busted, but nothing happend. its as if there's nothing connected to the serial port.

    i've measured the voltage supplied and i saw that the voltage was correct.

    did anyone experience this? can there still be a remedy for this module?

    On the VDIP1 there is an active low reset pin. Can not remember the exact pin but I think it is 22. Double check for the VDIP2 and give that a try.

    And it gets to high state by . . . a Pullup ? WPU ? Fear ? Which is to ask, can it get there ? Or is it locked to reset in perpetuity ?

    are you suggesting to try pullup instead of pull down? done that...didn't work..

    If I understood you correctly, and I am not sure I did, your push button switches ground the ports. If that is true, then yes, a pull up resistor, either internal (wpu) or external would seem to be in order. If your push buttons make the ports go high, then a pull down resistor would be required.

    The VDIP2 might be different but on the VDIP1 the reset pin is left floating when not in use. Seems strange yes but....

    Sounds like a bad conection or the magic smoke got out.

    i tried what joe said and used a pull up resistor,. still nothing happend.. that made me hopeless about my module and began thinking that mackrackit was right..may be magic smoke did got out. so i ordered another vdip2 module and its on its way here..

    for the mean time, i'm in the middle of programming the push buttons for browsing the files. how do i program the buttons to execute the command only after releasing the button from being pressed. the reason i want it that way is because if i execute the command(e.g. scrolling the lcd with the file names) while the button is being pressed,some files names would be skipped due to very quick execution.

    If the button pin is pulled LOW in an idle state ,active HIGH. You could use WHILE/WEND.
    Code:
    WHILE
    BUTTON  = 1
    DO SOMETHING
    WEND

    sir, in my program which is similar to the code back in post #63,
    the LCD prints:

    Ver 03.66-123VDFCF On-Line:

    then clears the display and then finally displays the filename that i wanted to display. I saved the characters sent by the vdip2 into an array right after the "DIR" command so the "Ver 03.66-123VDFCF On-Line:" should not be included in those characters because they were sent at the time the vdip2 turned on and long before the "DIR" command was made..but how come they are still being displayed?

    how do i effectively display only the characters that are the response to the current command and not display the characters that were sent by the vdip2 long before the command was made?

    That is interesting. Please post your current code so we are sure to be talking about the same thing.

    Just a thought...
    You might try more than one array and or clear the the array at given points. It should over write it but...

    Need to see the code...

    Here is the code..i haven't been able to add other functions yet because im still addressing to the problem that i stated earlier..

    oh and one more question, is it really necessary to save the the array values into another byte like for this instance the x's? cant i directly use these array values to be printed to the LCD?

    I do not see why the firmware info is being sent to the display...

    What does this do?
    Code:
    SEROUT2 VinRXD,8588,["A:",13]
    This is not the answer but it might be worth a try since it looks like you are now able to change the firmware. Un-check "Show Prompt" and "Show Version...".

    oh and one more question, is it really necessary to save the the array values into another byte like for this instance the x's? cant i directly use these array values to be printed to the LCD?
    The one array will do, I just thought it would be easier to parse the first array into the second for the info you want. But if you can get good data into the first array then the second is not needed at all.

    There is also a "skip" function in the SERIN2 command that might help.

    thanks! that gave me more options to address to that problem..

    What does this do?
    Code:

    what this does is select drive A: of the vdip2. i used this because the vdip2 swiches to the drive where a flash drive is last inserted so just to make sure in case a drive is last inserted to drive B:, the vdip2 would still go back to port A:. I'm doing this because i want to set drive A: as the source drive and B: as the target drive.

    OK, that is why I did not know, it is for the VDIP2.

    You code loops back to "StartDisk:". Does the firmware version show up all of the time of just on the first time trhough?

    the firmware only show up at the start of the program. and doesn't show up anymore unless you reset the vdip2. what do you think about this?

    I think I am glad I gave up on the VDIP1!

    My only guess is the VDIP buffer is not clearing till a DIR is sent.
    Maybe at startup have a dummy routine that does everything but display to clear it up?

    Looks like you need to check your baud rates.
    Those are not 9600

    u means the mode no of"8276" not 9600 baudrate? or the VDIP2 firmware not 9600 baudrate?

    No, I mean what you had was not 9600
    Start:

    HIGH VinRXD
    PAUSEUS 10
    SEROUT2 VinRXD,84,["IPA",13]
    HIGH VinRXD
    PAUSEUS 100
    SEROUT2 VinRXD,8588,["DIR",13]
    GOTO Start
    And I have no idea what your firmware on the VDIP is.

    Sorry, been a long day.
    Either 84 or 16468 depending on if the PIC is connected to the VDIP with an inverter chip or not.

    Can you make a schematic or exactly describe how everything is connected?
    It might help with the guessing game

    Another thing I forgot to ask that could be a concern.

    What are you using for an OSC at the PIC and how are the configuation bits set?
    Can you connect the PIC directly to Hyper-Terminal and receive text correctly ? If so then you know the PIC is running at the expected speed.

    Try inverted mode with out a 232 chip and then try true mode with a 232 chip.
    Doing these test should help find the problem.

    The first thing we need to do is make sure the PIC is running at the speed you think it is, or know what speed it is running at.

    These USB chips can be confusing ( for me anyways ) when it comes to setting the PLL and all. Bruce has a good explanation here that I refer to.
    http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/show...85&postcount=4
    So if you set the configs as he has them the PIC should be running at 48MHz.
    DEFINE OSC 48

    To check the speed write a code that will blink an LED at one second on and one second off.

    Then refer to the PBP manual under SEROUT2. There it shows how to connect the chip to a PC. Send some text to a terminal.

    When this is all working we can "talk" to the VDIP.
