usb to serial and back on the fly with ucase$

[f_lez]

actually, after displaying '9' on portb, it goes immeditaly to showing '1', and i mean immediate, no one second pause displaying '8'

to get to '1' it must pass '8', but then if it got to '1', it should flash between '1' and '0'.........and it does not - ant that last pause is 125 not 1250........

now i am confused

I see that you changed the label Loop to IdleLoop.

Was that because you have PBP 2.60?

If so, you'll need to make some changes.
USB is different now.

ADDED: If it is 2.60 ... Check out this ...

no it was idleloop as down loaded from here

I changed the chip type to 2550 in MCS, copied the usb support files into my pbp directory, and compiled..


hey prestnot......

so added a few led statements and lost more hair, and i'm still here, its not going to win the war, battles its winning on but i'm not keeping count....

is there any fuses that may stop usb working ?

maybe i have something wrong in that area because the basic programs so short theres not a lot of possibility of error, so thinking its something thats not to be seen going on, or not going on.

Did you read the USB.TXT file?
They don't go in the PBP folder. They go in your project's folder.
Now you've messed up the .bas files for all the USB chips, and will have to restore them from the CD or a backup.

Did you modify the USBDESC.ASM file to point to the CDC descriptors?

Do you have a .22uF or higher capacitor on VUSB?

Are your configs set for a 4Mhz crystal, with USB regulator enabled?

ASM
        __CONFIG    _CONFIG1L, _PLLDIV_1_1L & _CPUDIV_OSC1_PLL2_1L & _USBDIV_2_1L
        __CONFIG    _CONFIG1H, _FOSC_HSPLL_HS_1H
        __CONFIG    _CONFIG2L, _PWRT_ON_2L & _BOR_OFF_2L & _VREGEN_ON_2L
ENDASM

And restore the program back to what it was originally (download it again).
It won't work the way you've modified it.

going to do a full wipe and start afresh.

I take it i can use latest mpasm with me old 2.46, or should i get old mpasm? i'll go with the latest one for now.

hell i even spent most of yesterday trying 'other products' but by last night i gave up, too many buttons and options and built in this and that i could not see what it was doing!

[f_lez]

Ok, I'm going slowly and step by step now and leaving my educated guesses where they belong.....


pbp2.46 from cd to c:\pbp

pbp2.46a patch from melabs website link

mpasm 5.20 from melabs website link, to c:\mpasm

MCS installed and pointed to pbp and mpasm

New project director c:\pic2009\usbtest091101\

All files from c:\pbp\USB18\ to project directory

edit usbdsc to:

; This file contains an include for the application specific
; USB descriptors.  Include only ONE of the following or add
; your own for your own project.

;	include "MOUSDESC.ASM"		; USB descriptors for mouse demo
;	include "JADESC.ASM"		; USB descriptors for Jan Axelson's demo
	include "CDCDESC.ASM"		; USB descriptors for CDC demo

@this point i get the config has been depreciated but with the recession what hasnt.....

I'l go burn this and see what happens

You can only use the newest MPASM with PBP v 2.60. For any earlier version, MPASM 8.15a (or earlier) is the way to go. http://melabs.com/downloads/mplab_v815a.zip

Thanks, but i'm on 246, but it seems ok with mpasm5.2


Fuses, mine are a little different , i'm on 20mhz so i have these in the inc

        __CONFIG    _CONFIG1L, _PLLDIV_5_1L & _CPUDIV_OSC1_PLL2_1L & _USBDIV_2_1L
        __CONFIG    _CONFIG1H, _FOSC_HSPLL_HS_1H
        __CONFIG    _CONFIG2H, _WDT_ON_2H & _WDTPS_128_2H
        __CONFIG    _CONFIG3H, _PBADEN_OFF_3H
        __CONFIG    _CONFIG4L, _LVP_OFF_4L & _XINST_OFF_4L
        __CONFIG    _CONFIG2L, _PWRT_ON_2L & _BOR_OFF_2L & _VREGEN_ON_2L

At the top of the program, right after define OSC etc i put a high led pause 1000 low led and led lights for 1 second so looks ok

On the dev board/programmer it lights 4 seconds, but that does have a 4mhz, i should change devboard/prototype to same crystal really

not detected by windows, back on dev board if i switch portC led's on i get a good light on RC3 and a dimmer one on RC5, if i poke a shaky finger at rc4, rc5 flickers, so looks like its running.


...oh hang on BRB, theres a compiler error about overwriting previous contents, could have been there a while as its down bottom of screen and you have to scroll past the depreciated warnings

Back, set config1 more than once...
fixed, no improvement
